Re: NJ Resident with DUI in Connecticut

New Jersey DMV will likely suspend your license with a conviction in CT for DUI with a BAC of .08% or above. You should contact a DUI attorney in both states immediatly. Our office can help you in Connecticut and refer you an attorney in NJ. 203.521.4915

If you are convicted in CT for DUI with a BAC of .08% or higher, the NJMVC will most likely suspend your NJ driving privilege for 10 years. I strongly urge you to retain an experienced DUI lawyer in CT and NJ [to assist with the NJ suspension issues]. Our office can help you in NJ but not CT.
