DUIs

Protecting Your Rights. Preserving Your Future.

A DUI charge in New Jersey is a serious matter that can affect every aspect of your life — from your driver’s license to your job, reputation, and finances. If you’ve been arrested for driving under the influence (DUI or DWI), you need experienced legal representation immediately. At Rudikh and Associates LLC, we aggressively defend clients against drunk and impaired driving charges and fight to protect your rights, freedom, and driving privileges.

New Jersey DUI Laws: What You Need to Know

In New Jersey, DUI (driving under the influence) and DWI (driving while intoxicated) refer to operating a vehicle while impaired by alcohol, drugs (including marijuana), or a combination of substances.

Key facts about NJ DUI laws:

  • No tolerance for first-time or repeat offenders

  • BAC of 0.08% or higher is considered illegal for most drivers

  • BAC of 0.10% or higher brings harsher penalties

  • Underage drivers face charges for BAC as low as 0.01%

  • DUI charges do not require evidence of “driving” — operation alone may suffice

DUI Penalties in New Jersey

The consequences of a DUI conviction can be severe and long-lasting:

  • Driver’s license suspension

  • Hefty fines and court fees

  • Ignition interlock device installation

  • Community service

  • Mandatory alcohol education or treatment programs

  • Jail time (especially for repeat offenses)

  • A permanent criminal record

Penalties increase with each offense, higher BAC levels, or if there was an accident involved. Don’t face this alone — we can help reduce or eliminate many of these consequences.
