Northern New Jersey DWI and Traffic Offense Lawyer
You do not need a lawyer for every New Jersey traffic offense. However, too many people wind up shocked by the penalties they face for traffic violations they initially believed were "minor." If you want to do everything possible to prevent against an increase in insurance premiums, protect your driving privileges, and avoid huge fines or even jail time, it can be very important to contact an attorney who will take your needs and your case seriously.
For information on traffic offense consequences that may surprise you, please refer to my offenses and fines page. There are a number of traffic offenses that definitely justify seeking experienced legal counsel, because of their severe potential penalties. These include:
- Driving while intoxicated, or DWI
- Driving without liability insurance
- Driving without a license, or with a suspended license
- Operating a vehicle with a controlled substance in the vehicle
- Reckless driving
- Improper passing of a school bus
- Leaving the scene of an accident
