Drunk Driving Defense In Central New Jersey
Our DUI attorneys handle all scenarios related to driving under the influence or driving while intoxicated, including:
- First-time DUI/DWI
- Repeat offender
- Driving under the influence of drugs (DUID)
- Under 21 drinking and driving (Zero Tolerance violation)
- Breathalyzer refusal (implied consent violation)
- Driving on a license suspended for DUI
- Drunk driving accident causing injury or death
Driving Under The Influence Is A Serious Charge
These are some of the severe penalties and collateral consequences a DUI attorney can help you avoid if you are convicted of DUI/DWI:
- Up to 30 days in jail
- Loss of license for three months to one year
- Hundreds of dollars in fines and surcharges
- Ignition interlock (at your expense)
- Massive increase in auto insurance
- Job loss or employment barriers
That is just for a first offense. If you have two or more DUIs in a 10-year period, or other aggravating factors, the potential punishment is much stiffer.
How Can A DUI/DWI Lawyer Help Me in Bridgewater NJ?
It rarely ends well when people simply plead guilty to a DUI charge or attempt their own DWI defense against accusations of driving intoxicated. Whether the case involves alcohol or drugs, police must strictly follow protocols to sustain a conviction. That is why having an experienced lawyer is critical; we analyze every detail of the traffic stop and arrest for DUI driving to ensure the officer followed procedure.
We also focus on avoiding severe DUI penalties by negotiating alternatives, such as a plea to a lesser charge like reckless driving. If we can reach a favorable deal with the prosecutor, we do that. If not, we are ready to protect your rights if the case needs to go before a judge.
