New Jersey DWI Lawyer - Driving While Intoxicated Attorney in NJ - 39:4-50

Steven P. Lombardi is a highly experienced New Jersey DWI Ticket Attorney.  He is a Driving While Intoxicated Ticket Defense Lawyer practicing in all New Jersey Municipal Courts. 

 

The statute governing Driving While Intoxicated in New Jersey is NJSA 39:4-50.  Under this Statute your driving privileges may be suspended for an extended time period depending on the level of intoxication and the number of prior convictions. The only scientific way to determine whether a driver is under the influence is through blood alcohol concentration (BAC). Your BAC can be tested with a simple Breathalyzer test.  In New Jersey, a person with a BAC of 0.08% or greater who operates a motor vehicle or a boat is considered to be Driving Under the Influence (DUI) called commonly Driving While Intoxicated in New Jersey (DWI).  If you are a Commercial Truck Driver your CDL can be suspended for one year if you are found guilty of driving with a BAC of 0.04 or greater in a commercial vehicle.  It is a one year CDL License loss for conviction in a non-commercial vehicle for a first offense and a lifetime loss of your CDL license for a second offense subject to a ten year reapplication period review.
