I've done about 20 criminal jury trials now; I have only lost 4 of them (they all confessed on video and took the stand against my advice) and 1 of the 4 was overturned on appeal due to my objections. I have never lost a civil trial.
Criminal law is the practice of law that relates to crimes and misdemeanors. Criminal law differs from civil law, whose emphasis is more on dispute resolution and victim compensation, than on punishment. I handle any types of criminal cases including the following:
Murder
Drug Possesion and Distribution
Shoplifting
White Collar Crimes
Tresspass
Assualt and Harassment
Robbery
I also handle special cases for the State Public Defender's Office that are too big and complex for their office. I handle and have handled all of the above and more successfully in the past, no matter if it takes motions, low pleas, or trial. My goal is to give you the best possible outcome from your situation.
Driving under the influence (DUI), also known as driving while intoxicated (DWI) and drunk(en) driving, is the moving violation of driving a motor vehicle with blood levels of alcohol in excess of the legal limit ("Blood Alcohol Content", or "BAC"). This also includes regulations that cover driving or operating certain types of machinery while affected by:
drinking alcohol
taking prescription drugs
cocaine
marijuana
Other Illegal Drugs
If you are convicted of a DUI in NJ, or found guilty of violating the state’s Implied Consent law, you can expect a hefty fine, as well as license suspension and high insurance surcharges—and that’s just for a first-time offense. If you have a previous conviction, you'll face even tougher penalties, including a larger fine, longer suspension, and/or additional jail time.
If you were recently charged with violating one or more of the state's drunk driving laws, it is important to obtain legal representation immediately if you want to avoid a life-altering DUI conviction. For a no-obligation evaluation of your case, get in touch with Me, an experienced DUI defense attorney here in New Jersey.
