DWI Offense in Delran Township
A DWI offense in Delran requires the attention of an experienced attorney. There is no ability to escape a license suspension and other serious penalties unless you satisfy the judge in Delran that the state is unable to prove the charge. It is illegal for the court to permit a dismissal under any other circumstance so it is extremely important that you obtain the most skilled lawyer you can find rather than the one with the office closest to the court or possessing some attribute that eventually turns out to be irrelevant since plea bargaining your charge is illegal. You must persuade the court that there is a fatal flaw in the case against you in order to avert the mandatory penalties that apply under N.J.S.A. 39:4-50.

N.J.S.A. 39:4-50 prohibits driving while intoxicated or when you are under the influence of drugs like marijuana, heroin, or prescription medication. Intoxication is defined “per se” as possessing a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or higher. The prosecutor in Delran will typically utilize a breathalyzer reading or blood test result to establish blood alcohol concentration although you may be convicted of DWI without this scientific evidence utilizing standardized field sobriety testing. In the case of a drug DUI, a urine or blood test showing the presence of narcotics is not enough alone to find someone guilty. The Delran Municipal Court will also have to hear testimony from a Drug Recognition Expert who examined the accused following the stop and found that the motorist was impaired by the type of drug ultimately revealed in the blood or urine test.
