A DUI conviction in New Jersey is extremely serious. Penalties for a first offense can include fines, license suspension, insurance increases, surcharges, and community service. Second and subsequent convictions may also include attendance at mandatory classes and jail time. Drug offenses are also serious. If you have been charged with DUI or a drug crime, Santiago & Associates may be able to help.
Do not talk to the police without an NJ criminal lawyer present
Even innocent people become flustered under the duress of arrest and can make erroneous statements they later regret. If you are accused or charged with a crime, take advantage of your Constitutional right to remain silent. Do not answer questions by the police without a NJ criminal lawyer present. The police only want to claim the crime solved and do not have your best interests at heart. Only your NJ criminal lawyer is concerned with your rights. Be courteous and polite, but firmly insist on your lawyer being present before talking to the police.
