Have You Gotten a DUI in Monmouth or Ocean County?

By Rubas Law Offices

02/01/2018 One of the most traumatic events in life is being taken to jail. Your freedom is immediately over and the knowledge that this will cost you time, money and impact your reputation with friends, family and possibly your employment begins to set in. If you make the mistake of driving while intoxicated, this is what may happen. You will incur thousands of dollars in fines and penalties, have your driverâs license restricted, suspended or revoked, and dramatically raise your insurance rates. If you have been arrested for driving while intoxicated, you need the services of a highly experienced, knowledgeable and determined attorney who will fight for you. Call attorney Michael Rubas at Rubas Law Offices to give yourself the best chance of emerging from this experience with as few life-altering repercussions as possible.
Chances are that when you were arrested for a DWI or a DUI, a police officer administered an â Alcotestâ which measured your blood alcohol content using your breath. If your blood alcohol level is above the legal limit, the case against you may not be as strong as you may think. For example, the police might have stopped you unlawfully or conducted an illegal search of your vehicle. It is also possible that the arresting officer administered the Alcotest improperly. In cases such as these, you are dealing with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and the criminal courts. The DMV will want to suspend your driving privileges and only the DMV can restore those privileges. This is separate from the criminal charges against you. The laws relating to the felony crime of driving a vehicle while intoxicated by alcohol or drugs can be confusing and complex.
In New York, New Jersey and most other states, if you have a prior arrest for DWI or DUI, the fines and penalties will increase. If you were involved in an accident, and especially if there were injuries or fatalities resulting from the accident, your driverâs license may be revoked permanently.
