Legal Question in DUI Law in New Jersey
DUI in NJ
Saturday I was pulled over by a state trooper for failure to maintain lane, at which point the trooper ordered me out for a field sobriety test battery. I passed the nystramus (sp?) test which involves following an object with one's eyes, the heel-o-toe walk test after politely asking the officer to remove a stick from my path, and the leg raise test. At this point I was put under arrest for suspicion of DUI and driven by the officer to the station. Along the way he flat out told me I wouldn't be going to jail, they would just run the tests and I'd call for a ride back.
After taking the breathalyzer, I blew a .12, and advised the officer I am both underweight (5'9, 125 lbs), and hadn't eaten recently that day due to work. I was told I was welcome to simply lay down in one of the private cells simply to wait for my ride, which I did.
I was issued a ticket for failure to maintain lane, reckless driving and DWI, with a court date.
Sadly, I'm incredibly indigent due to being a college student from a poor family, so I will be forced to hire a Public Defender for my defense.
My question is, do I have a strong chance of getting this knocked down or dismissed?
Please note this is also my first offense for anything reall

You may even have to pay a small fee for the public defender. Where did the offense occur?

Without a good attorney helping you in this case, I doubt you'll have much of a shot. Even with one, these cases are never easy.
Re: DUI in NJ
You should call me to discuss your case, especially if you were breath tested using the old Breathalyzer, instead of the Alcotest 7110.
Call me if you like.
