Frequently Asked Questions
Can I refuse a breathalyzer test in NJ?
You can refuse, but New Jersey has an implied consent law. Refusal results in automatic license suspension of 7 months to 1 year for first offense, plus you can still be charged with DUI based on other evidence.
Will a DUI affect my job?
A DUI conviction becomes part of your permanent record and can affect employment, especially for jobs requiring driving, security clearances, or professional licenses. We fight to minimize or eliminate these consequences.
Is a DUI a felony in New Jersey?
In NJ, DUI/DWI is a traffic offense, not a criminal charge. However, if your DUI results in serious injury or death, you can face criminal charges including assault by auto or vehicular homicide.
