2. Fighting a DWI under the influence of prescription medication or drugs

If someone charged and guilty of being under the influence of even legal prescription drugs while driving, there is a mandatory loss of license for 7 months-12 months. The NJ DWI statute is not only about prohibiting driving after drinking. It also prohibits driving after taking prescription medication, which may render someone under the influence. Even if a medical doctor prescribed the medication police can still charge someone with driving under the influence of those medications.

It does not matter whether the drugs are legal or illegal for the seven-month suspension. If does not matter if you have a valid medical marijuana card.

If charged with DWI under influence of a drug, you need to have your attorney immediately file specific motions:

Pretrial Motions

1) Suppress Evidence

2) Miranda/Privilege

3) Exclude Lab Tests

4) Discovery Required

5) Request to compel discovery

6) Defense demands expert reports of the state

7) Objection to DRE Drug Recognition Evaluator and Experts,

8) Notice of Objection to Lab Reports

9) Challenge to Chain of Custody

SPEAKER: Kenneth Vercammen, Esq.

(Author- Criminal Law Forms by the American Bar Association)

The NJ statute on expungement was revised. Nothing is automatically erased yet. If someone has been arrested or even had a private criminal complaint signed against them in the Municipal Court, they have a criminal record, even if the charges were dismissed if not expunged. Under NJ Law past criminal arrests and convictions can be expunged/ erased under certain instances. This program will discuss the expungement process. I served as a Municipal Prosecutor and was amazed how minor criminal guilty pleas and even dismissed charges can affect someone’s ability to get a job or advance a career. Do you have children or someone you know or work with that needs an expungement?
