Experienced Legal Counsel
Repeat DUIs subject you to potentially serious penalties, including:
- Significant fines
- Jail time up to 90 days for a second DUI and up to 180 days for a third DUI
- Driver's license suspension of two years for a second DUI; 10 years for a subsequent DUI conviction
- If you were driving in a school zone, the penalties can be significantly increased. For example, a third DUI which occurs in a school zone calls for a 20 year license suspension. If you have a minor in the car with you when you are pulled over, you will be charged with a disorderly person's offense.
Attorney James J. Sayegh will help you understand your rights, your options and what to realistically expect in your case. As an attorney with a primary emphasis on defending clients accused of DUI and repeat DUI, he will, when appropriate, challenge every aspect of the evidence that the state has against you, including issues of improper stops, mistakes made during the administering of the blood alcohol test (Breathalyzer or Alcotest) or any other procedural issues that can be used to leverage a reduced charge or a case dismissal. Attorney James J. Sayegh is prepared to take each subsequent DUI case to trial and, when appropriate, appeal decisions to the Law Division of the Superior Court.
