Can I Move My Court Date For My New Jersey DUI?

February 24, 2016 by Matthew Reisig

It’s possible to change a court date for a DUI in New Jersey, but it’s not a given.

Typically, the court will consider a change to its calendar only in limited circumstances, like a serious conflict such as scheduled surgery, or a need for more time to build your case.

Don’t expect the judge to just grant your request.

An experienced New Jersey DUI attorney can make sure that your case proceeds in the best way for you, and that your needs get full consideration from the court.

Matthew Reisig has helped more than 1,000 New Jersey drivers avoid conviction on DUI charges, by carefully shepherding their cases through the legal process.

When you need extra time to make the strongest case possible, call 732-625-9660 for a free consultation with an experienced New Jersey DUI attorney.

Will I Lose My Job If I Get A DUI In New Jersey?

February 24, 2016 by Matthew Reisig

Some professions have reporting requirements when it comes to DUI.

Since New Jersey classifies DUI as a traffic offense rather than a criminal matter, you won’t have to worry about having a criminal record, but if you hold a state license to practice as a nurse, doctor, lawyer, or other professional, you may find yourself subject to disciplinary action by your board.

Commercial pilots may also face problems with the FAA.

If you work in a job that requires a commercial driver’s license and you’ve been charged with DUI, you should speak to an attorney right away.

New Jersey has extremely harsh penalties for commercial drivers who are arrested for DUI, and a conviction can cost you your career.

Matthew Reisig helps professional drivers keep working.

Can My New Jersey DUI Case Be Postponed While I Complete An In-Patient Substance Abuse Program?

June 4, 2015 by Matthew Reisig

Judges in New Jersey tend to look favorably on defendants who take significant steps to remedy the behaviors that have brought them into court in the first place.

If you’ve decided to attend an in-patient rehabilitation program that will conflict with your DUI court date, it may be possible to ask the judge for a postponement to give you the best chance at successfully completing the program.

The specific facts of your case will matter in how the judge decides, but remember: If you have a substance abuse problem, getting help can make a huge difference to your future, the DUI charges notwithstanding.

Prioritize your health, and let attorney Matthew Reisig take care of the legal issues while you focus on the things that matter.

Does It Help My DUI Case In New Jersey If I Begin Attending Substance Abuse Counseling?

June 4, 2015 by Matthew Reisig

Approaching a DUI in New Jersey as a serious event that suggests significant lifestyle changes may be necessary is a mature and rational way to make a bad situation into something positive.

While participation in substance abuse counseling will not, by itself, cause a judge to let you off the hook, judges tend to take a more favorable approach in DUI cases when the defendant is taking steps to learn from past mistakes and make sure they don’t happen again.

How you choose to understand the meaning of your DUI is something you and your loved ones should discuss in detail.

If you need help connecting to counselors or substance abuse programs, my office can provide you with resources.

I can also help ensure that your efforts to face a substance abuse problem head on is noted by the court and given full weight in the case against you.

For a DUI defense that puts you first, call 732-625-9660 today for a free consultation.

Can You Help Me Get My New Jersey DUI Case Heard By A Jury Instead Of Just A Judge?

May 28, 2015 by Matthew Reisig

DUI cases in New Jersey are heard by municipal court judges, not in jury trials.

This is because a DUI charge is not a criminal charge, per se, but is instead considered a traffic violation, so there is no entitlement to a trial by jury in these cases.

There are instances where a defendant has a history with a judge and you may have concerns about the judge’s ability to be impartial in your case.

If there is a genuine conflict, it is possible to notify the court of your concerns and ask the judge to recuse him or herself, though there are risks with this approach.

The best way to develop a sound defense strategy is to work with an experienced New Jersey DUI defense lawyer who can ensure that your rights are protected from your first appearance to your DUI trial.

Attorney Matthew Reisig has almost 20 years of experience fighting DUI charges in New Jersey, and has successfully defended more than 1,000 clients against DUI charges in the state.

Can You Help Me Plea Bargain My DUI To A Lesser Charge In New Jersey?

May 28, 2015 by Matthew Reisig

No, unfortunately, New Jersey prosecutors do not have discretion to plea bargain in DUI cases, so if you’ve been charged with DUI, it’s because prosecutors believe they can prove that charge instead of a lesser one.

So while you’re not going to have much luck trying to bargain with prosecutors, you do have options.

Contrary to popular opinion, every DUI case in New Jersey can be challenged, and every DUI defendant has the right to present a strong case in their own defense.

The best way to achieve a positive outcome is to work with an experienced DUI attorney who understands the complexity of New Jersey DUI law and has the track record and resources to treat your case with the seriousness it deserves.

Attorney Matthew Reisig has helped more than 1,000 New Jersey drivers avoid conviction on DUI charges, and has argued technical aspects of DUI law before the New Jersey State Supreme Court.

When you’re facing DUI charges anywhere in New Jersey, call 732-625-9660 today for a free consultation with an experienced New Jersey DUI defense lawyer.
