Minimizing the Consequences of DUI / DWI

New Jersey has complicated sentencing guidelines for DUI / DWI convictions. Mr. Di Stefano has defended literally hundreds of these cases and has extensive experience with the sentencing guidelines, and he uses his knowledge of the system to his clients' benefit.

Risks Related to Drunk Driving Charges

  • 1st Offense: Suspension of your driver's license for 90 days up to 1 year.
  • 2nd Offense: Potential jail time, 2 year loss of license, and community service.
  • 3rd Offense: 10 year loss of driver's license, up to 180 days in jail, and high fines.

The firm has obtained numerous dismissals and downgrades in drunk driving cases. As a local lawyer, Mr. Di Stefano has an excellent reputation with the local courts, prosecutors and judges. Contact the firm to schedule a free consultation.

Driving While Suspended

Driving with a suspended license is a common serious offense in New Jersey. It does not matter why your license was suspended; the conviction will remain on your record for life. There are also enhanced penalties for multiple offenders that can carry high fines, suspension of driving privileges, and jail.  If you face a charge of driving while suspended, Mr. Di Stefano will aggressively protect your rights.

Driving Without Liability Insurance

The consequences of the first offense of driving without liability insurance can be more serious than a first drunk driving conviction. In fact, it is one of the most serious traffic offenses in the traffic code of New Jersey.  If convicted, you may be required to pay a $1,000 fine, perform community service, and lose your license for up to 1 year. The consequences increase on a second offense offense and may include a jail sentence. 

Operating a Motor Vehicle with a Controlled Dangerous Substance

These charges are often filed in conjunction with DWI charges and other drug offenses. If the Police find drugs in your car while you are operating a motor vehicle, you could lose your license for up to 2 years.

Speeding Violations

Because speeding violations are considered strict liability offenses, it is difficult to fight speeding tickets without an experienced criminal defense lawyer. The firm will negotiate with the prosecuting attorney to help you get a better deal. Mr. Di Stefano works to keep the ticket off of your record and keep your insurance premiums low.
