DWI Strategy & Results

The penalties for DWI are extremely serious, including jail time, total loss of your license, and time spent in classes and community service.

When you add in the fine that goes with conviction, you’re looking at losing thousands of dollars on top of being deprived of use of cars, potentially for a long period of time.

It’s true that lawyers cost money, but when my clients walk out of court with minimal penalties for DWI, or even none at all, they usually feel pretty strongly that they made a really smart investment in their future.

When you’ve been charged with DWI in New Jersey, it doesn’t have to wreck your life.

Once you’ve completed the penalties the court sentenced you to after your DWI conviction – which may include jail time, license suspension, community service, DWI classes, and the payment of fines and restitution – you still have a couple more steps before your can legally operate a motor vehicle in New Jersey again.

You’re required to pay a $100 restoration fee to the Motor Vehicle Commission, which will mail you a Notice of Restoration.

Once you have that, you’ll visit your local MVC with the Notice of Restoration, proof of insurance, and proper identification to have your license reinstated.

If you’ve completed the elements of your DWI penalty but the MVC isn’t cooperating with your reinstatement request, I can help.

The police are not required to give you a Miranda warning when they pull you over, or even necessarily when they handcuff you and drive you to the station.

A good lawyer will often be able to quash statements you may have made to the arresting officer as long as you haven’t been informed of your right to remain silent, and that any statements you make will be used against you.

It would certainly be convenient if beating a DWI was as simple as arguing that the arresting officer didn’t read you your rights prior to asking you to perform a sobriety test, but unfortunately it doesn’t work that way.

New Jersey doesn’t allow expungement of DWI convictions, but luckily, New Jersey also doesn’t treat it as a criminal matter that appears on criminal background checks.

This means that when you apply for an apartment, a home mortgage, or a new job, odds are good that your DWI will be completely invisible to a check.

Where your DWI will continue to cause you pain for years to come is in the matter of automotive insurance.

You can never remove your DWI from your driving record in NJ, and insurers will continue to penalize you in the form of higher insurance costs for many years.

It’s certainly possible that if your DWI was routine and no one was injured, there were no children involved, your BAC was under .10, and there were no additional charges for things like reckless driving, that the judge will err on the low end of New Jersey’s mandatory sentencing for DWI if you plead guilty.

This means you’re looking at the lower end of jail time, fines, license suspension, and other penalties, which is preferable to the high end of those penalties, but you’ll still have to face years of increased insurance costs and other problems as a result of the conviction.

You have a right to representation and you have a right to your day in court.

Being charged with a DWI in New Jersey is not the same as being convicted.

The answer to that varies across the states. New Jersey will notify your home state, but what happens from there is up to their laws.

Some states will suspend your license until New Jersey’s period of suspension is over, while others won’t apply any penalties.

One element that out of state residents sometimes benefit from when they get a DWI in New Jersey is that the charge isn’t considered criminal in nature here.

Many states just don’t have the resources to enforce out of state traffic violations, though DUI/DWI may be a misdemeanor or even a felony when it happens in that state.
