New Jersey imposes stiff penalties for those convicted of driving under the influence, including jail time, probation, fines, substance abuse counseling, classes, community service, and many more. These penalties will depend primarily on whether it is your first, second, third or subsequent offense and what your blood alcohol content (BAC) was at the time of arrest.

If you are facing a second, third, or subsequent DUI offense, you may already understand the legal repercussions of a DWI conviction. If you pleaded guilty at the time, that may now come back to haunt you. If you are charged with a second offense for DUI, the consequences are much more serious than for the misdemeanor of the first offense.
