Charged with DWI/DUI While Visiting New Jersey?
If you were charged with drunk driving in New Jersey but you're an out-of-state resident, you face many of the same penalties as a New Jersey resident would.
And New Jersey has one of the toughest sets of anti-drunk driving laws to be found in the nation. To minimize your charges or to see them entirely dismissed, you'll need an experienced, skilled and effective DWI/DUI attorney.
The lawyers of Flynn & Associates, P.C., have successfully resolved our 15,000 drunk driving cases in New Jersey. We can help you, too. Call 800-604-8052 or contact us online today for an appointment.
What Are the Penalties for DWI/DUI in New Jersey?
The penalties for DWI in New Jersey are as follows:
- First, you will have to personally appear at each court hearing.
- If convicted, you could spend time in jail.
- Next, you will have to pay court costs, including a $3,000 payment to the New Jersey DMV.
- You will also have to attend classes on DWI/DUI at the Intoxicated Drivers' Resource Center until the teachers declare that you are fit to leave.
Fortunately, you might not lose your license, but it depends on the relationship between your home state and New Jersey. For example, in Pennsylvania and other states DUI/DWI is a crime. Loss of License varies from state to state.
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't fight your charges. The fines are heavy, and if you are convicted then your insurance rates might make it unaffordable for you to own a car.
At Flynn & Associates, P.C., our attorneys have worked as public defenders and prosecutors. We know the law from every angle and we will use our knowledge to minimize your penalties or have your charges dismissed.
