Continue reading to determine whether you can obtain a hardship or conditional license in New Jersey.
Can I get a hardship or conditional license in New Jersey?
A hardship or conditional license is a restricted license given to a driver whose license has been suspended or revoked as a result of an alcohol or drug-related issue, permitting drivers who qualify for it to drive again under specific conditions set on the license and issued by the court. But, it is important to recognize that the state of New Jersey does not offer hardship or conditional licenses to any of its residents. Once you lose your driving privileges, you cannot drive on any occasion.
What should you do in place of a hardship or conditional license?
Because the state of New Jersey does not offer hardship or conditional licenses, you will need a qualified and experienced Bergen County criminal defense attorney who understands the law and what is needed for a DUI charge to stay. A criminal defense attorney must be competent in helping you reduce or dismiss your charge. Our firm is here to help. Give us a call today.
How can an attorney help you?
With the assistance of a qualified legal professional, you can feel more confident knowing that your rights and future will be protected. Your attorney can use the following strategies to help you combat your charges:
- Issuing motions to suppress evidence from the traffic stop due to a lack of probable cause
- Suppressing breath test results that allegedly establish your intoxication
- Removing your statements regarding alcohol or drug use
- Raising reasonable doubts about the admissibility of any and all evidence
A conviction for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is always worth fighting to evade criminal consequences and the other negative effects associated with a conviction. Even a first-time DUI conviction could cause a license suspension, a big fine, and a span of imprisonment. Give us a call today to get started.
