Can I Be Charged With DUI In New Jersey If I Was Sitting In A Parked Car When The Police Questioned Me?

October 23, 2015 by Matthew Reisig

Yes, if police believe that you intended to operate the vehicle, you can be charged with DUI under New Jersey law.

However, because of the unique circumstances of a case like this, your conduct also opens up avenues for your defense.

While New Jersey DUI cases aren’t heard by juries, it is possible to convince a judge that police overreacted in your case and that the charges against you are prosecutorial overreach.

It isn’t easy to beat a DUI charge in New Jersey, but Matthew Reisig has helped more than 1,000 New Jersey drivers avoid conviction on drunk driving charges.

Call him today at 732-625-9660 for a free consultation with an experienced New Jersey DUI defense lawyer who can help you fight back against overzealous police and prosecutors.

How Long Will I Have To Pay Surcharge Fees If I’m Convicted Of DWI In New Jersey?

October 15, 2015 by Matthew Reisig

If you’re convicted of a first DWI in New Jersey, you’ll face a $1,000 surcharge for each of the next three years.

This is on top of the other penalties you’ll accrue, including loss of your driver’s license for up to year, time in an Intoxicated Driver Resource Center, and possibly even jail.

Aside from the surcharge, you’ll have to pay fines and fees of hundreds of additional dollars if you’re convicted.

The best way to avoid surcharge costs, a lost license, and even time in jail is to work with an experienced New Jersey DWI defense lawyer who can protect you from the worst outcomes in your DWI case.

While many people think that being charged means conviction is simply a formality, the truth is that every DWI case has weaknesses, and a knowledgeable DWI attorney can make sure you have the highest level of representation available.

Matthew Reisig has helped more than 1,000 New Jersey drivers avoid conviction of DWI charges in our state.

Call 732-625-9660 today and speak to an experienced New Jersey DWI defense attorney for free.

Can I Get The Surcharge Waived In My New Jersey DWI If I’m Out Of Work?

October 15, 2015 by Matthew Reisig

No, your judge almost certainly won’t waive the surcharge payment you’ll owe to New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle Commission.

If you’re convicted of DWI, you’ll owe $1,000 a year for the next three years, even if you’re out of work or underemployed.

Even worse, if you fail to pay your surcharges, your license will be suspended, and ultimately a judge will allow the MVC to collect through involuntary means.

While a DWI conviction can cause you a lot of short term pain, people often forget about the long term consequences, like inflated insurance rates for years, and an extra $1,000 a year tax for three years.

A DWI charge is a big problem, but it doesn’t have to mean a DWI conviction.

Can I Still Drive To And From Work After A DUI Conviction In New Jersey

October 8, 2015 by Matthew Reisig

No, if you are convicted of DUI in New Jersey, you’ll face a mandatory suspension of your license without exceptions.

New Jersey does not have conditional licenses that allow you to drive to and from work, or even medical appointments, so your options once you’ve been charged are to fight your case or face a lengthy period of time without the ability to legally operate your car.

When you’re charged with DUI, it can feel like the deck is stacked against you. You have police and prosecutors telling you that you’re guilty, and they may even want you to believe that if you plead guilty, the judge will go easy on you.

The truth is that the judge has very little discretion when it comes to sentencing, so your only option if you want to avoid losing your license is to work with an experienced New Jersey DUI defense attorney and fight your charges.

Matthew Reisig has helped more than 1,000 New Jersey drivers avoid conviction on DUI and keep their licenses.

How Long Will I Lose My License After A Third DUI In New Jersey?

October 1, 2015 by Matthew Reisig

Conviction for a third DUI in New Jersey means you’ll lose your license for ten years.

More importantly, New Jersey doesn’t allow hardship or conditional driver’s licenses to get you to and from work, so if you’re like most people, a decade-long loss of your driver’s license represents a significant threat to your ability to work and take care of your family.

When you’re charged with DUI, you need to get experienced legal help right away.

This is especially true when you’ve had previous convictions and are facing a much tougher set of penalties.

There may be ways to remove previous convictions from the equation, meaning that instead of facing a third DUI and a ten-year loss of your license, you may be charged with a second, or even first DUI instead, and get your license back much sooner.

If you’re convicted at all. Attorney Matthew Reisig has helped more than 1,000 New Jersey drivers avoid conviction on DUI charges.

Will I Go To Jail For A Second DUI In New Jersey?

October 1, 2015 by Matthew Reisig

If you’re convicted of a second DUI in New Jersey, you risk spending up to 90 days in jail, as well as other penalties, like 30 days of community service, a $1,000 fine, and loss of your driver’s license for up to two years.

New Jersey DUI penalties are strict, and without any type of hardship or conditional driver’s license, a DUI conviction, and especially a second conviction, is no laughing matter.

You do have options when it comes to DUI charges in New Jersey. Even if you’ve had a previous conviction, you may be able to establish your case as a first offense.

Many DUI cases are build on shaky evidence that doesn’t hold up under close scrutiny, and an experienced New Jersey DUI attorney can make a big difference in your case.

Matthew Reisig has helped more than 1,000 New Jersey drivers avoid conviction on DUI charges.

Call 732-625-9660 today for a free consultation with an experienced New Jersey DUI defense attorney.
