Does It Matter Which County In New Jersey I Was Charged With DWI In?

August 21, 2014 by Matthew Reisig

Penalties for DWI are uniform across New Jersey’s 21 counties, so in that sense it doesn’t matter where in the state you were stopped.

What does matter for any DWI prosecution is the quality of legal defense you have, which is where New Jersey DWI attorney Matthew Reisig can help.

He is one of the few DWI defense attorneys to defend clients in all 21 counties of the state, and has defended more than 1,001 clients against DWI charges in venues across New Jersey.

Our state is home to a lot of DWI defense attorneys, but few have the experience needed to win so consistently.

When you’ve been charged with DWI anywhere in New Jersey, call Matthew Reisig at 732-625-9660 for a free consultation.

How Do I Get To And From Work If I’m Convicted Of DWI In New Jersey?

August 13, 2014 by Matthew Reisig

How you get to and from work and other essentials of life after a DWI in New Jersey is entirely up to you – as long as you don’t get there by driving a car.

Once your license is revoked for drunk driving, you’re fully grounded.

There are no conditional, restricted, or other licenses available to drivers during the revocation period, though you may be able to petition to get your license back a little bit sooner than originally scheduled.

Maintaining a job is critical to one’s lifestyle and wellbeing, which is why revoking a drivers license is so disruptive and – from the state’s perspective – such an effective deterrent.

Public transit, cab fare, and asking friends and family to drive you around are the methods you’ll be stuck with if you’re convicted.

Convictions aren’t a given though. There are dozens of defenses against DWI charges, and they all start with working with a tough, experienced New Jersey DWI attorney.

Call attorney Matthew Reisig today at 732-625-9660 for a free consultation with one of the New Jersey’s most successful DWI defense lawyers.

Am I Required To Tell My Boss About A New Jersey DWI If My Job Doesn’t Involve Driving?

August 13, 2014 by Matthew Reisig

No, there’s no law that obligates you to inform your boss about traffic infractions, though if you’re convicted you may have to explain some unusual new patterns in your life.

For instance, if convicted, New Jersey doesn’t offer conditional or restricted driver’s licenses that let you get to and from work, school, and other errands.

You’ll have to find rides, take the bus, or walk.

You may also have to explain absences as you attend mandatory Intoxicated Driver Program educational and counseling sessions.

While a conviction for DWI in New Jersey may not cost you your job, it will cost you a lot of money and be as a huge hassle for a long time.

It doesn’t have to be that way. Attorney Matthew Reisig has defeated more than 1,001 DWI charges for clients in New Jersey.

Can I Be Charged With DWI In New Jersey If The Blood Test Revealed Marijuana In My System, But I Wasn’t Impaired At The Time Of The Stop?

August 8, 2014 by Matthew Reisig

Yes, you can be charged with DWI if you were driving erratically and displayed evidence of intoxication, in the opinion of the arresting officer.

You can even be convicted based on police testimony, and if there is additional evidence of marijuana in your system, then you’ll have a hard time convincing a judge that the cop was simply mistaken and you were sober.

There are defenses that go deeper than that, including questioning the legality of the stop and the terms under which you submitted to a blood test.

If coercive tactics were used, you may have grounds to have the blood evidence disqualified.

There are additional plans of attack against DWI when marijuana is suspected as well. Call attorney Matthew Reisig today at 732-625-9660 for a free consultation.

For How Long Can A Police Officer Perform Field Sobriety Tests On A Driver In New Jersey?

August 8, 2014 by Matthew Reisig

There’s not necessarily a statutory requirement regarding how long an officer can conduct Field Sobriety Tests on a driver.

It is understood that a police officer has to contend with time when it comes to making a judgment about a driver’s intoxication, because the body is constantly metabolising alcohol.

Theoretically, each minute the police spend conducting Field Sobriety Tests increases the odds that chemical testing will reveal a blood alcohol level below the legal limit.

There are certainly cases where drivers allege that police ordered them to conduct Field Sobriety Testing repeatedly, presumably to arrive a pre-determined conclusion and make a DWI arrest.

The driver’s argument is that they passed the Field Sobriety Tests, sometimes repeatedly, and the tests were used in an abusive fashion.

This is an argument that can be made in court, and goes to the heart of the basis of a DWI arrest in New Jersey.

Can Police Administer Non-Authorized Field Sobriety Tests In New Jersey?

July 31, 2014 by Matthew Reisig

They can, but the results of non-standard Field Sobriety Tests are not admissible in court.

Even authorized Field Sobriety Tests can be fought on a variety of grounds, from medical conditions in the person taking the test to a police officer’s inappropriate administration of the tests.

Authorized Field Sobriety Tests are to be performed under clearly defined protocols, and when the police don’t follow their own rules, the job of a New Jersey DWI lawyer is to fight back.

Field Sobriety Tests are intended to give police a reasonable idea of what’s going on with a driver who may display signs of intoxication, but too often, police use them inappropriately.

They may require the driver to perform the test for longer durations than required, or make a driver repeat a test over and over until eventually they “fail.”

Attorney Matthew Reisig knows how to make inappropriate police procedure a matter for the court to decide.

Call him today at 732-625-9660 and talk to a New Jersey DWI lawyer.
