Experience in Handling Drunk Driving Charges
A criminal charge for driving while intoxicated (DWI, known as DUI in other States) is a serious matter, and you should get an experienced criminal defense lawyer to represent you throughout the process.
I am a Certified Criminal Trial Attorney highly experienced in DWI/DUI defense, as well as other aspects of criminal defense in New Jersey's municipal courts. Contact me to schedule a free initial consultation about your case.
Avoiding or Reducing Serious Consequences
In New Jersey, people convicted of DWI/DUI face fines, jail time and other criminal penalties as well as lengthy driver's license suspension.
While it is often possible to avoid jail time on a first or second offense, a third drunk driving conviction involves a mandatory 180 days in jail. I have personal experience with the criminal defense strategies that have been successful at avoiding this harsh penalty of six months in jail for accused third-time DWI/DUI offenders.
A first DWI/DUI conviction also involves automatic license suspension for at least three months, and up to seven months if the defendant had a proven blood alcohol content (BAC) of .10 or higher. I will work hard to keep you on the road.
If you are charged with DWI/DUI, contact me to get help from an experienced Ocean City criminal defense attorney.
Understanding the Alcotest
As you may have heard, the new Alcotest device was recently found to be scientifically reliable by the New Jersey Supreme Court. This device has replaced the traditional Breathalyzer in our State.
I am familiar with the Alcotest and the legal standards governing the admissibility and reliability of evidence obtained with this device.
