Legal Question in DUI Law in New Jersey
Most likely outcome?
On Thursday night I was stopped in a grocery store parking lot. I pulled in their on my own because I had to use my cell to cell my girlfriend. After pulling in, I was swammed by officers and they asked if I had been drinking. I said yes and went through the field tests. I did very well but was taken into the station anyway for breathylzer. I failed with a .18 This is my second dui in 3.5 years. Should I bother getting a good lawyer and pay thousands or use my family lawyer and take whats coming to me. Either way I feel I am in a lose, lose situation. The family lawyer is good enough to keep me out of jail and get rid of the other tickets.. I spoke with a top notch lawyer and they want to go after the breathalyzer machine to see if it is up to date and working properly. How many police stations don;t keep up to date on these machines really?

Re: Most likely outcome?
You are looking at 2 to 90 days in jail, so if your family lawyer is good enough to keep you out, he's as good as any other lawyer since he will beat the case right? Based on that, I'm afraid that you don't have all of the information in front of you. I suggest you get in touch with an attorney that can give it to you straight so you can decide if it is worth it or not.
My initial consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss your case.

You are facing some serious penalties in New Jersey. What's more, is that you have to take these cases to trial in New Jersey. We handle these cases in NJ and PA. You do have to attack the breathalyzer, by "bookending" the testing documents. You can also attack the operating officer, and the pretext to have pulled you over in the first place. You should give our offices a call, or you can e-mail me directly. We offer reasonable rates and there is no fee for consultation.

The most likely income is that you will be found guilty. It is a matter of how you live your life; whether you
tend to give up easily.
It sounds like the strongest part of your case is that your vehicle seems to have been picked arbitrarily in violation of the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution and that you tested well in doing the field sobriety test so that your arrest was without probable cause to arrest you, again in violation of the
Fourth Amendment.
At trial you are probably toast.
Call me if you like.
