- Albert Afonso:
DWI is a serious offense in New Jersey. The Court must impose
significant license suspensions, fines, surcharges, Intoxicated Driver
Resource Center participation and in certain cases, jail and community
service. The Division of Motor Vehicles must also impose a mandatory
insurance surcharge from $3,000 to $3,500. Frequently, automobile
insurance is also cancelled which can only be repurchased at the highest
rates. A permanent record of the DWI conviction is also entered on the
Drivers Abstract maintained by the New Jersey Division of Motor Vehicles.
No work license is available during the period of suspension and
penalties for operation while suspended for DWI require mandatory jail
and additional license suspension. Penalties differ depending upon
whether the offense is a first, second or subsequent offense.

- Prince & Portnoi:
If you have been arrested for DWI, a moving traffic violation, or a
drug charge, you need the timely help of an experienced attorney.
- Timothy Dey: After a
defendant has been arrested and may have been released, he or she is
required to appear for an arraignment. An arraignment is a court
appearance in which defendant is brought before a judge or magistrate
and apprised of the charges lodged against him or her. Ordinarily with
respect to a misdemeanor offense, the defendant will only be arraigned
once. However, with a felony offense, the defendant may be arraigned
more than once if the offense is changed from the offense listed in the
initial accusatory instrument.
Clifton
- Rabinowitz, Fred:
When you've been arrested for driving while under the influence of alcohol you really do need help. In New Jersey DUI charges have serious consequences. DUI charges have become a very serious matter, costing a first-time offender as much as $3,500. or more in fines, surcharges, higher insurance premiums, other charges, and the prospect of a criminal record. With that much at stake, itÕs worth it to hire a DUI lawyer.
- Fredson & Statmore:
Drunk driving and DUI is undoubtedly a problem today, resulting in countless injuries and deaths each year. Simply being charged with DUI, however, does not mean you are guilty. In many cases, overzealous enforcement by law enforcement and aggressive prosecution has led to job loss and financial hardship for New Jersey residents who were not even impaired at the time of the arrest.

In many cases, problems with the law such as an arrest or conviction
can be cleaned off a criminal record thus avoiding embarrassment, as
well as provide one with both peace of mind and security when applying
for school or a new job.
In cases of certain convictions, students are ineligible to receive
financial aid either for a yearl or permanently. In the Health Care
field, recent legislation requires that records of all employees be
checked to determine the existence of a prior record.
By successfully expunging your prior record, your arrest and/or
conviction(s) are sealed and removed from your criminal history. The
expungement process involves an evaluation of your matter, and if
applicable, applying for and obtaining a Court Order cleaning your
criminal record, which removes these items from your past and prevents
the future release of this information to prospective employers,
agencies, schools, curious individuals, and law enforcement. The
process takes approximately sixty (60) days from the date of filing,
and typically cost from $1050. In many cases, no court appearance is
required of you.
Collingswood
- Steven Friedman:
The U.S. Supreme Court has generally interpreted the Fourth Amendment
prohibition against "unreasonable searches and seizures" to impose a
warrant requirement upon police officers who wish to perform a valid
search or arrest. However, the Court has carved out some exceptions to
the warrant requirement, which make certain "seizures" constitutionally
permissible in the absence of a warrant.
- Cuneo & Hensler:
Because so many municipal court matters actually settle, you need an
experienced New Jersey municipal court attorney who knows the laws and
knows how to work out a deal with the prosecutors. You have to be able
to live with the way your issue is resolved...
Cranbury
- Kenneth A. Vercammen:
The defense of a person charged with driving while intoxicated
is a very difficult task. However, you should not automatically
plead guilty without speaking with an attorney to save a few
dollars. There are a number of viable defenses and arguments
which can be pursued to achieve a successful result. Advocacy,
commitment, and persistence are essential to defending someone
accused of involvement with alcohol.
Cranford
- Richard Brightman:
Defense of drunk driving charges in New Jersey can be very difficult. By law, you don't have the opportunity to plead guilty to lesser offenses, and every violation - including first offenses - carries an automatic suspension of your driver's license. A skilled defense attorney, however, has three main opportunities to protect your interests:
¥ Challenge the circumstances of your arrest by attacking the police officer's probable cause to stop your car, reasonable suspicion that you were driving under the influence, or search and seizure of incriminating evidence.
¥ Examine the circumstances of your blood alcohol test to see whether any errors in the calibration of the device, mistakes by the arresting officer, or in the preservation of the results can form the basis of the dismissal of the charges against you.
¥ On the basis of all of the circumstances of your case, work to ensure that the mandatory suspension of your license is closer to the minimum under the law.
- Ronald Aronds:
Many good people find themselves in the upsetting position of
being charged with Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) or Driving
Under the Influence (DUI). Embarrassed or ashamed of the charge
against them, they simply plead guilty to the charge in order to put
the whole affair behind them. Considering how strict and potentially
devastating the consequences of a DWI or DUI conviction can be,
it is important to consult with an experienced attorney to see what
your rights and defenses are in such a case. Punishments
consisting offines, surcharges, loss of driving privileges,
community service, and even imprisonment are some of the
potential consequences of such a conviction.
Dover
- Johnson & Johnson:
If youre facing a drug charge such as a New Jersey marijuana arrest, a
DUI/DWI charge, a domestic battery crime, or other criminal charge, you
cant afford to put your faith in a criminal defense attorney who doesnt
know how New Jersey or federal law applies to your case.
