Legal Question in DUI Law in New Jersey

Re: 3rd DUI offense in 10 yrs

The question is what exactly did you plead guilty to in Pennsylvania. If you pled guilty to being impaired and those offenses only required a reading less than .08 blood alcohol content you are a first offender in New Jersey.

To count an out of state dui the required reading for a conviction for same must be .08 or greater in order to be counted as a prior dui conviction. If you pled guiltuy to one offense out of state equivalent to dui in New Jersey your recent dui in New Jersey would be a second offense.

In New Jersey a third dui has a mandatory sentence of six months in jail of which 90 days can be served in an alcohol rehabilitation program.

Why not get an attorney and fight this?

Re: 3rd DUI offense in 10 yrs

This is serious trouble. The penalties call for mandatory jail time of 180 days and a loss of license for 10 years. It gets worse if you were on a DUI related suspension at the time of arrest.

What City/county did this happen? I practice throughout Southern New Jersey and have more than 15 years experience defending DUI matters in PA and NJ. I can fight to get the penalties reduced if I think I can't win the case.
