DUI for Drugs in New Jersey Driving While Intoxicated by Drugs

Arrests for driving under the influence of drugs in New Jersey often involve significant Constitutional questions. Our firm meticulously examines the legality of the initial traffic stop, any subsequent searches and seizures, and the conduct of law enforcement in handling collected evidence. Because drug discoveries frequently follow DWI stops, we investigate whether the police had legitimate probable cause to stop your vehicle and then conduct a search. It’s crucial to understand that police cannot search your car simply because they initiated a traffic stop; any drugs must be in “plain view” to be legally seized. If an illegal search occurred, we can file a motion to have any drug evidence dismissed by the court.

The penalties for DUI involving drugs, whether illegal narcotics, hallucinogenics, or prescription medications, are similar to those for DWI, but carry a mandatory license suspension, and cannot be satisfied through an ignition interlock (IID) only. However, the court must establish impairment through credible legal evidence presented by a Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) – the mere presence of drugs in your system is insufficient. Engaging a lawyer well-versed in these specific procedures and capable of vigorously challenging the State’s evidence is essential. As that attorney, I assure you of a comprehensive and impartial defense against all charges; my commitment is to fight for you, not simply seek a guilty plea.

Do not delay in contacting a DWI lawyer today. We offer flexible payment options, accept all major credit cards, and I will personally provide you with the professional, assertive, and experienced representation you need.
