Understanding N.J.S.A. 39:4-50.4a

Before delving into the legal aspects of your case, it is important to have a clear understanding of N.J.S.A. 39:4-50.4a. This statute deals with the offense of refusing to submit to a breathalyzer test when suspected of driving under the influence. If you have been charged with this offense, it means that you refused to take a breathalyzer test when a law enforcement officer requested it.

Refusing a breathalyzer test under N.J.S.A. 39:4-50.4a is a serious offense with potentially severe consequences. It is considered a separate offense from driving under the influence itself, and can result in significant penalties if convicted. This is why it is crucial to have an experienced legal team on your side to navigate the legal process and fight for your rights.
