There are many issues that can arise in your DWI/DUI case. There must be a valid basis for the stop and resulting arrest. The state must also establish that your blood alcohol concentration (“BAC”) was at or above the legal limit of .08% or, alternatively, that you operated under vehicle while under the influence of drugs (e.g. marijuana, painkillers, Ambien, etc.). There are three (3) ways for the state to establish that you were driving while intoxicated and they are a breathalyzer reading, blood test, or standardized field sobriety tests (“SFST”). Our attorneys have the highest level of training available in two of these disciplines (i.e. Alcotest certified and instructors in SFST), a dual credential held by less than ten in New Jersey. Even when the Seaside Heights prosecutor, Kim Pascarella, Esq., is able to establish all of these elements, sentencing defenses may also be available. This is obviously another area where our lawyers can provide a benefit.
