Drunk Driving
An arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI) can impact your ability to drive legally and your freedom. Penalties for conviction are severe and get worse with each charge. NJ drunk driving laws are complex and constantly changing. If you have been charged with drunk driving, do not try to defend your case alone. It is vital to have a skilled DUI lawyer—immediately.
New Jersey DUI attorneys you can rely on
Rispoli, Borneo & Suthard, PC is absolutely committed to defending and winning DUI cases in Union, Essex, and Middlesex counties and across New Jersey. We have handled countless DUI cases, including trials.
A drunk driving arrest does not have to result in a conviction. Our DUI lawyers know the procedures police are required to follow when making a stop and arrest. We understand the science involved in breath, blood, and urine tests. We know how to analyze and attack the reliability, accuracy, and admissibility of such tests. We have extensive experience challenging Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFSTs). Our firm engages in extensive pre-trial investigation and discovery to find evidence potentially favorable to the defense of your case.
DUI charges are probably the most serious handled by New Jersey municipal courts. Penalties for a first offense range from a three-month license suspension to one year in jail. If you refuse to take a breath or blood test, the punishment can be swift and severe. Jail time is usually required for subsequent drunk driving offenses. That is why it is so important to fight to avoid conviction.
Protecting your right to drive
In addition to defending criminal charges against you, our DUI attorneys fight to preserve your driving privileges through an administrative Motor Vehicle Commission hearing. In New Jersey, timing on an appeal of a license suspension or revocation is crucial. We work quickly to ensure your driving rights are protected.
