Re: dui penalties

The penalites for drunk driving were recently significantly revised (See NJSA 39:4-50). If this is a first offense, depending on your blood alcohol level (BAC), you are looking at heavy fines, some time in drunk driving school,potentially jail up to 30 days and loss of yor driver's license from at least three months to at the most one year. If it turns out that this would be a second or higher conviction, the penalties are much higher. Before I could tell you what penalties you specifically might be facing I would need to speak with you about the details of your case. I am an attorney who has handled many cases similar to yours in the past in various courts in New Jersey. Please call me at 1-908-272-0111 to discuss your case further. There is never any charge for simply calling and discussing a case. Thank you. Sincerely yours, -Ronald Aronds, Esq.-

Re: dui penalties

Although you have been charged with DWI, it is still advisable to retain an attorney to review the State�s evidence against you. The min fines and penalties are:

Violation: N.J.S.A. 39:4-50 (Driving While Intoxicated/Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol) - First offense is a $252.00 - $402.00 fine, 12-48 hours in a detainment center and at the Court�s discretion, not more than thirty (30) days in jail and a six (6) month to one (1) year suspension of your driver�s license. For a second offense, it is a $500.00 to $1,000.00 fine, thirty (30) days community service and 48 hours to 90 days in jail, and a two (2) year loss of license. If you have a third offense, it is 180 days in jail, and ten (10) year driver�s license suspension.

In addition to the basic penalties, there are additional fines including a drunk driving enforcement penalty of $100.00, a $100 surcharge, a safe neighborhood penalty of $75.00, a $50 assessment to the Victims of Crime Compensation Board (VCCB. Finally, court costs of $30 may be imposed on the defendant. Accordingly, a defendant will be subject to at least $607 for a first offense of drunk driving. In addition DMV surcharges which could amount to $1,000.00 a year for three (3) years. A defendant will also be assessed nine insurance eligibility points.
