If the police officer doesn’t show up to your DUI trial, the judge will most likely adjourn the case and reschedule.

It’s unusual for a judge to dismiss charges when the police officer isn’t available.

A more productive action will be to establish that the next court date will be a “try or dismiss” event, where another absence will result in your charges being dismissed.

The best way to capitalize on mistakes in the case against you is to work with an experienced New Jersey DUI defense attorney.

No, out of state residents with out of state driver’s licenses should not be subject to New Jersey’s DMV surcharges after a DUI in the state.

That doesn’t mean you’re out of the woods. New Jersey is party to an agreement with most other states and reports your DUI to your home state.

Depending on the laws there, you can face additional penalties at home, even if the DUI happened here.

No, it’s actually against the law in New Jersey for prosecutors to negotiate plea bargains in DUI cases, and no judge will accept a negotiated settlement for a lesser charge.

Many people facing a first time DUI charge in New Jersey are under the impression that they can just plead the matter down to reckless driving or another lesser charge, but it’s not true.

Prosecutors are not allowed to plea bargain in DUI cases, so if you’re charged, you’ll have to be prepared to attack the case head on.

This means challenging Alcotest results, police procedures and testimony, and any other elements germane to your case.

While plea bargaining is not an option, if the prosecutor begins to suspect that your DUI case is a sure loser for their side, they may drop the charges entirely.

The best way to get results like these is by working with an experienced New Jersey DUI attorney.

No, a DUI conviction is classified as a traffic offense in New Jersey.

While most states use terminology like felonies and misdemeanors, New Jersey separates criminal charges into disorderly persons offenses, on par with misdemeanors elsewhere, and indictable offenses, which are felony-level charges.

Unlike most other states, New Jersey doesn’t treat DUIs as criminal matters, but a third type of violation, a traffic offense.

Potential employers will be able to see the conviction if they look at your driving abstract, but if the application specifies an “indictable offense,” then the correct answer in regard to your DUI conviction is “No, I have not been convicted of an indictable offense.”

If your case is pending, the situation may be more complicated, but you have a better chance at avoiding conviction entirely.
