Defending Administrative License Suspension Hearings
DUI offenders in New Jersey are subject to a mandatory
license suspension. This license suspension is a separate
punishment that takes place within 30 days of DUI citation.
It is imposed, in addition to the license restriction or
suspension that will take place if you are convicted of the
DUI charge. If you have been charged with a DUI in New
Jersey it is important that you contact experienced attorneys
at Fusco & Macaluso, today.
Your license will be suspended for a period of 3 months if you are proven to have
a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08% or more. If you are found to have
unlawfully refused to take a chemical test for BAC, it is important that the
arresting officer explained that if you refuse a chemical test your license will be
automatically suspended for an extended period.
If this was not thoroughly explained to you, an experienced DUI lawyer, at Fusco
& Macaluso, may use this as grounds for dismissal of the license suspension.
Once you receive this document you should contact the experienced NJ Firm in

officer OR Municipal Court Judge will decide your case based on only a few
issues.
