DUI in Camden County
Camden County boasts a diverse population and a close proximity to the entertainment and nightlife of Philadelphia just across the Delaware River. In addition, many of the roadways passing through Camden County are used in traveling between Philadelphia and Atlantic City. All of this activity, along with other characteristics, translate into Camden being the highest ranked county statewide for DUI arrests in the state. Almost three-thousand (3,000) motorists were charged with DWI last year and this total is fairly consistent. For those arrested on this offense, the stakes are high.
New Jersey law imposes severe penalties that escalate for repeat offenders convicted of driving under the influence. The mandatory consequences include a driver’s license suspension without any ability to operate a vehicle under any circumstance as there is no provision for work or hardship relief. There is also thousands in fines, court assessments, surcharges and skyrocketing insurance premiums. There is even a jail sentence that is triggered if the conviction is second offense (i.e. 2-90 days) or a third offense (i.e. 180 days). You are not, however, without defenses to a DUI charge. The prosecutor is required to establish, for example, that you were intoxicated at the time of the motor vehicle stop. This is typically established through scientific evidence such as a breath, blood and/or urine test, although the police can also prove impairment using field tests. Our attorneys are skilled in all of these disciplines with some of the most advanced training in these areas. This allows us to successfully attack these evaluations tools throughout Camden County.
