DUI Offenses
DUI charges should never be taken lightly. The consequences for a first-time offense include mandatory loss of your driver’s license, possible jail time and hundreds of dollars in fines. A second or third offense carries even harsher penalties, including mandatory jail time and mandatory loss of your driver’s license for many years.
Besides potential jail time or probation and steep fines, the collateral consequences of a DUI offense are numerous. They also may include mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device for several years and mandatory referral to an intoxicated driver resource center. Your reputation and employment prospects may also suffer as sources of public transportation in New Jersey are minimal, at best.
