You've been arrested for DWI.
Here's a few things you need to know:
Penalties:
Even a first time DWI conviction in New Jersey requires a mandatory
suspension of 7 months, which the Court can increase up to one year.
There are no WORK LICENSES in New Jersey and driving while
suspended requires a mandatory jail sentence of 10 to 180 days after a
DWI. Second and third offense DWI's have mandatory jail time. The law
also requires a full 6 month jail term for a third or subsequent DWI. DWI
sentences also include fines and surcharges of roughly $4000 for a first
offense and greater amounts for subsequent offenses.
Time is of the essence:
New Jersey requires that DWI cases be resolved within 60 days of the
issuance of the summons. Therefore, you must seek legal services as soon
as possible in order to insure that your case is properly prepared when
called for trial. The sooner you act, the better chance you have of mounting
a defense.
What can be done:
No one can guarantee results. But, we will order discovery, review it
thoroughly and look for each and every avenue of defense. Every case is
different and time is of the essence. For example, did you know that some
municipalities video tape every part of the testing procedure? Some police
cars are equipped to video tape what happens on the side of the road?
There is a difference between the old "breathalyzer" machine and the newer
"alco-test". If there is a hole in the State's case, we'll find it, and if need be, we will TAKE THE CASE TO TRIAL!
