Top New Jersey DUI Attorneys

Driving under the influence (DUI) has serious consequences. It can be defined as operating a motor vehicle after consuming a substantial amount of alcohol or drugs to where the individual’s mental and motor skills have been impaired. In most jurisdictions, a person is defined as impaired if he or she has significant signs of impairment or a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or higher. For minors under the age of 21, any amount of alcohol is probable cause for an arrest. If you have been charged before with a DUI, consequences can prove to be even more harsh. Police officers will administer field sobriety tests if they suspect that an individual is impaired by a sobriety altering substance. These tests include breathalyzers, for example, in order to come to a conclusion.
