Even on a first charge of driving while intoxicated, a conviction can result in jail time, loss of your driver's license for up to a full year, and 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 DWI defense for repeat offenders, as well as people facing additional charges such as:
- Driving without liability insurance
- Speeding or other moving violations
- Driving while your license or registration is suspended
- Drug possession in a motor vehicle
Calling on Expert Resources to Build Your Best 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 — 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 arrest
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 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.
For some clients, a thorough case evaluation leads to a focus on securing the least damaging consequences. We will explore the best alternatives — including those involving an alcohol treatment program or other form of rehabilitation — based on your specific circumstances. Please contact me today to put my knowledge of Northern New Jersey courts and the law to work for you.
