There are many defenses available to an individual charged with a DUI or DWI. Below are a few typical DUI/DWI/drunk driving elements Mr. Kavanagh can discuss with you.

Answering Your DWI Questions

It is not uncommon for DWI stops to be done incorrectly. It is also possible for people charged with a DUI to have a lot of questions. Mr. Kavanagh provides information to clients on topics such as:

• The Range of Possible DWI Penalties: There are several factors that impact the possible DWI penalties, including past convictions and the specifics of the case.
• Driving Under the Influence of Drugs: Operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs is also a DUI offense in New Jersey.
• Suspension of Your Driver's License: Within the state of New Jersey, convictions for drunk driving include the suspension of your driver's license for a minimum of three months.
• Underage Drinking and Driving: People under the age of 21 driving while intoxicated can have their license revoked. 
• DWI Arrests at Roadblocks: While the police can use roadblocks to stop drivers in New Jersey, there are specific rules they have to follow. A DUI criminal defense attorney knows these rules and can determine if the roadblock was legal. 
• (BAC) Blood Alcohol Content: The amount of alcohol in your blood (BAC) will be reported to the court and is used to prove driving while legally intoxicated. 
• Alcotest Machine: In New Jersey, the Alcotest machine is used by law enforcement to obtain the BAC. Understanding the testing protocol and functioning of this machine is essential for your drunk driving accident attorney.
• Drunk Driving Deaths and Accidents: In cases where the driver is intoxicated, and there is an accident or a death, the additional charges of homicide or vehicular assault may be added. 
• Boating Intoxicated: Individuals operating boats in New Jersey face the same laws as those charged with a DWI. An experienced DWI criminal defense attorney is essential in these types of charges. 
• Refusing a Breath Test: Failure to complete the Alcotest or refusing to do the test can result in additional penalties, some of which are significant and serious. 
• Ignition Interlock Devices: In most cases, the court requires the use of an IID for a first offense, as well as in any subsequent DWI charges. 
• Court Process for DUI: The criminal defense lawyers at Kavanagh & Kavanagh LLC, provides experienced legal representation at each stage of the court process. 
• “Work Only” Licenses: In the state of New Jersey, there is no exemption for those who required their license for work or other reasons. This means a complete loss of the ability to drive, and having an experienced DUI criminal defense attorney on your side is essential.
