The Kugel Law Firm serves clients in New Jersey, focusing on DUI and DWI defense. We are committed to helping individuals facing these charges by protecting their rights and offering top-rated guidance through every step of their case. Our New Jersey drunk driving attorney provides experienced legal support and representation.

What if my BAC is under 0.08 percent?
Even if your BAC is below 0.08 percent, you can still be charged with DWI in New Jersey if alcohol impairs your driving. For those under 21, any measurable BAC—starting at 0.01 percent—can result in charges due to the zero-tolerance policy for underage drivers.

Can I defend myself against a drunk driving charge?
Yes, you can defend against a drunk driving charge by identifying issues in the evidence or legal process. Mistakes in sobriety or chemical testing, as well as violations of your rights, can weaken the prosecution’s case. A strong defense can lead to reduced charges or dismissal.

What if I was under the influence of drugs instead of alcohol?
Driving while impaired by drugs, whether prescription or illegal, is treated the same as driving with a high BAC. Police can request blood or urine samples to check for drugs, but they may order a warrant if you refuse. Drug-related DWI charges can carry significant penalties, just like alcohol-related ones.

The Kugel Law Firm in New York offers dedicated legal assistance to individuals facing DWI charges. We work closely with our clients to provide clear guidance and a strong defense throughout the legal process. Our goal is to help our clients move forward with confidence and peace of mind.

Will My License Be Suspended If I’m Arrested for DWI?
Not always. If you are arrested for a DWI in New York, your license might be temporarily suspended while the case is pending. Refusing a chemical test can result in an automatic one-year suspension. A conviction may bring additional penalties, including a longer suspension or revocation. An attorney can help reduce the impact by addressing potential hardships and exploring possible remedies.

Are DUI and DWI Different Offenses in New York?
In New York, DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) and DWAI (Driving While Ability Impaired) are distinct charges. DWI typically involves higher levels of impairment or intoxication, while DWAI applies to lesser levels of impairment. While some states use the term DUI (Driving Under the Influence), New York law specifically distinguishes between these offenses.

Can I Drive After Taking Medicine in New York?
Driving after taking medication is permitted as long as it does not impair your ability to drive safely. This includes prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and illegal substances. Be cautious about side effects like drowsiness or slowed reaction times, as these can lead to unsafe driving conditions. Consult with your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure about the effects of your medication.

Kugel Law Firm stands out in New Jersey for its effective defense against DWI and DUI allegations. Our lawyers are highly knowledgeable in all aspects of DUI law and are committed to defending clients with precision and dedication. We understand the challenges that come with DUI charges and strive to provide reliable defense and strategic legal solutions that aim to preserve your freedoms and rights under the law.

Can I still face DUI charges if my BAC was below the legal limit when arrested for a DWI?

Yes, in New Jersey, a BAC below the legal limit does not automatically exempt you from DUI charges. The state's laws permit the use of additional evidence to prove impairment. Actions observed by law enforcement, performance on field sobriety tests, and other indicators can all contribute to a case that you were too impaired to drive, despite a lower BAC.

Can a DWI/DUI conviction be expunged from my record in New Jersey?

No, in New Jersey, you cannot expunge a DWI conviction from your record. DWIs are considered traffic offenses, not criminal offenses, which makes them ineligible for expungement.

What is the duration a DWI stays on one’s driving record in New Jersey?

A DWI conviction is a lifelong entry on your New Jersey driving record. This permanent record affects how your driving history is viewed. However, if your previous DWI conviction occurred more than ten years ago, any new DWI charge will be treated as though it is the first, potentially resulting in lighter sentencing.
