Second Offense DUI Attorney in New Jersey

Talented DUI Defense Attorneys Represent Clients Charged with Second Offense DUIs in Middlesex County, Mercer County, Union County, Ocean County, and Burlington County, NJ

DUI Second Offense Penalties in NJ, as serious as they are, become even more-so without the help of an experienced attorney.  Your DUI is considered a second offense when occurring within 10 years of your first offense.  This makes you eligible to receive the minimum to maximum penalties associated with the charge. 

Second offense charges in New Jersey are taken much more seriously than a first offense DWI. There is little room for a judge’s own discretion to determine your penalties.

2nd offense DUI’s carry a guaranteed license suspension for one to two years. The penalties continue to increase depending on how high your BAC reading was at the time of the accusation.

2nd Degree DUI Charge Penalties and Fines

The following penalties apply to a second-offense DUI in NJ.

  • A fine of $500 – $1000
  • Imprisonment of at least 48 consecutive hours, and up to 90 days
  • 2-year license suspension
  • 48 consecutive hours detainment in a regional intoxicated driver resource center
  • An automobile insurance surcharge of $1000 a year for 3 years.
  • Installation of an ignition interlock device for a period of 1 year to 3 years after license restoration.

These penalties do not include other costs associated with court fees and state assessments. Nor do they include installation and removal of the interlock device and other fees.
