New Jersey regulates Field Sobriety Tests very tightly, and chances are that if the NJ police officer who stopped you ordered to you perform any FSTs in inclement weather, the results will not be admissible in court.

If the results of the FST are what led you to being arrested and have further evidence gathered against you, it may be possible to attack the entirety of the case by attacking the improper administration of FSTs.

You should work with an experienced New Jersey DUI/DWI attorney to stand the best chance of beating the charges against you.

New Jersey categorizes DUI/DWI as a traffic offense rather than a criminal offense, and expungement is the act of removing the record of a criminal offense.

This can have significant consequences for you later in life.

Insurance rates for your car may remain elevated for years, and many carriers will refuse to cover you.

Attempting to travel internationally may also be affected, which can negatively impact your career.
