When most people think of DWI / DUI charges, the first thing that comes to mind is excessive alcohol consumption. This is not always the case. People who drive under the influence of marijuana or other drugs are just as likely to be arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence / DUI.
At Maynard & Sumner, LLC, we like to remind our clients of their legal rights. For example, you have the right to remain silent when being questioned by law enforcement agents. You have the right to speak with an attorney. You have the right to protection from illegal search and seizure. If law enforcement agents violated any one of these rights during the course of your traffic stop or arrest, the case against you may be dismissed. If you were arrested for DWI after a traffic stop on the basis of a Morris County, Essex County or Passaic County substance charge, talk to one of our New Jersey DWI lawyers to learn how our firm can help.
Drug-related DWI / DUI charges may be accompanied by drug possession charges if a law enforcement officer found illegal substances in your car at the time of your arrest.
Whatever the particulars of your DWI / DUI charges, the laws related to driving in an altered state are very stringent. You could lose your license if you are convicted of a drug-related DWI / DUI charges. If you are involved in a fatal accident, either due to drunk driving, drugged driving or drowsy driving, you face the potential for severe penalties. In any event, our law firm will review the evidence and work toward the best possible outcome under the circumstances.
