Hudson County DUI/DWI Attorney
Aggressive Northern New Jersey DUI Defense
A New Jersey DWI/DUI conviction can really turn your life upside down. It is a huge risk to face even a first-offense DWI without an experienced, diligent and aggressive attorney who will take a hard look at your case.

First Offense? Multiple Charges? Call Essex County Drunk Driving Lawyer Christopher G. Porreca.
Even on a first charge of driving while intoxicated (DWI), you can lose your driver's license for up to a full year, be required to pay MVC (motor vehicle commission) surcharges and shoulder the burden of long-term, major insurance cost increases. If you are facing a second or third DWI offense, fines and other penalties can have a far-reaching impact on your finances, driving privilege, jail time, and other parts of your life.
Your investment in a good lawyer is essential to protecting your future. I have experience in defense for repeat DUI offenders (second or third offenses, or more), as well as people facing additional charges, such as:
- Driving without liability insurance
- Speeding or other moving violations
- Driving on a suspended license
- Driving while your registration is suspended
- Drug possession in a motor vehicle
- Felony DUI
Utilizing Resources to Build Your DWI/DUI Defense
You can depend on me to seriously consider every aspect of your drunk driving case, in order to identify any grounds for dismissal or a strong defense at trial. I will investigate issues, such as:
- Whether the police had probable cause to suspect you of drinking and driving — a valid legal reason to stop your vehicle
- If the arresting officer had any reason to suspect you were intoxicated
- Any unusual circumstances, such as a lack of evidence that you were actually driving if you had stopped before the DUI arrest
- Whether the breath test, or other test to determine blood alcohol level (BAC), was administered properly
I retain at least one expert witness on every single DWI case I handle. Not every lawyer does this, but I see it as critical for challenging whether alcohol testing equipment, including the Breathalyzer, was in working order and all tests were properly administered.
Although the New Jersey v. Chun Supreme Court ruling appears to have reinforced the general reliability of Alcotest results, this is still a viable path for challenge in many cases.
