DWI DUI Defense

Once the reality has set in after you have been arrested and charged in New Jersey with DWI, you quickly realize the life changing implications a conviction may have. Let’s face it, trying to do anything in New Jersey without a driver’s license is hard. Keeping a job, supporting your family, continuing your education may be downright impossible.

But now is not the time to throw in the towel. Everyone makes mistakes. But the DWI laws in New Jersey don’t allow for plea bargaining. This ties the hands of the prosecutor and removes most of the prosecutorial discretion that a defendant charged with just about any other offense would benefit from.

Additionally, there is no case heard in the Municipal Courts that is more complicated to defend than a DWI. The Alcotest Machine (formerly the Breathalyzer) is a complicated scientific instrument and understanding it takes training. The Standardized Field Sobriety Tests are very specific in the requirements for administration and performance assessment. Knowing the specifics of how these tests were developed and how they are supposed to be performed is crucial to an effective defense.
