The Hernandez Law Firm, a leading legal advocate in DWI and criminal defense based in Toms River, New Jersey, is pleased to announce their support for the recent amendment to New Jersey’s DWI laws. This significant legislative change, signed into law this morning, introduces a more flexible approach for those facing DWI penalties.
Under the new law, individuals required to forfeit their driving privileges can now choose to install an ignition interlock device in their vehicle as an alternative. This device must be maintained for a period which grants the offender one day of driving privileges for every two days the device is installed. However, this benefit does not apply to offenses that result in serious bodily injury or involve the operation of a vehicle under the influence of narcotics, hallucinogens, or other controlled substances.
Steven Hernandez, the founder of The Hernandez Law Firm, stated, “This amendment is a crucial step forward in providing reasonable options for those seeking to rebuild their lives following a DWI conviction. It reflects a more nuanced understanding of justice, focusing on rehabilitation rather than solely on punishment.”
The Hernandez Law Firm is dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complexities of DWI laws in New Jersey. With this new amendment, the firm aims to assist clients in taking full advantage of the opportunities to maintain their driving privileges and continue their daily responsibilities without undue hardship.
