With the number of DWI and drug DUI arrests that occur weekly in the Garden State, it should not be a surprise that motorists have a misery of choice when it comes to retaining legal aid for drunk driving offense. But that’s just a general statement, since choosing the right New Jersey drunk driving lawyer can be critical to the outcome of a DWI-DUI case. Whether someone is facing a serious injury-related DWI charge or a more routine DUI summons resulting from a simple traffic stop, my legal team is ready, willing and able to assist those individuals who have been accused of impaired driving.
An arrest for driving while intoxicated is nothing to laugh at. Whether precipitated by a traffic accident, occurring at one of many random sobriety checkpoints, or developing out of a traffic stop for a seemingly minor traffic infraction, any kind of alcohol- or drug-related traffic offense has the potential to cause a motorist serious monetary pain, as well as inconvenience and, in some cases, social embarrassment or job-related problems.
As experienced DWI defense attorneys, my legal staff is skilled in litigating civil and criminal cases throughout the state of New Jersey. We provide our clients with legal representation in cases ranging from drunken driving, drug-impaired vehicle operation, illegal drug (CDS) possession and breath test refusal, just to name a few.
Certainly here in New Jersey, with our dense population and highly mobile society, a DWI conviction can present not only a financial burden, but also personal and professional complications. Whether you have been arrested in Union, Ocean, Atlantic or Hudson County, my law firm legal team is dedicated to assisting those who believe they have been unjustly or erroneously accused of an alcohol- or drug-related driving offense.
The following “police blotter” entries illustrate the kinds of arrests that take place every day in the Garden State. And while knowing that this kind of event happens to thousands of motorists every month may not provide much solace, it is instructive to note that there is professional legal help available for those individuals who seek to find justice for themselves.
