Field Sobriety Test Practices
Police are allowed to use the standardized field sobriety test (SFST) on people suspected of drunken driving or of being otherwise impaired. A test is only reliable if they follow the exact, standardized method of implementation.
Drug Recognition Evaluation
Drug recognition evaluation (DRE) is the process by which law enforcement determines whether a driver is using drugs. Errors do happen when an officer uses the DRE to decide if a driver is under the influence. When these errors take place, you need a lawyer familiar with DRE protecting you. Villani & DeLuca will search for mistakes that may have happened during your arrest to protect your rights.

Were you incorrectly charged with DWI in Marlboro, New Jersey? False BAC levels occur due to various factors. Villani & DeLuca will go after a strategy that looks closely at procedure by officers and malfunctioning equipment readings if you think you were wrongly charged.
Breath Test Refusal
