Contact a New Jersey Attorney Who Knows How to Fight DWI Charges
At D'Alessandro & D'Alessandro, LLC, we use our special insight into municipal court processes to help our clients who are facing DUI/DWI charges. To lessen the charges or reduce the penalties, we can:
- File motions to suppress illegally obtained evidence
- Challenge breathalyzer and field sobriety test results
- Challenge the officer's probable cause for the traffic stop
- Challenge the operation of the vehicle while under the influence
- Merge other traffic tickets with a DUI charge for an overall penalty reduction
- Negotiate with the prosecutor in municipal court
- Consult with professional investigators and former police officers about the circumstances of the traffic stop and charges
Because the penalties you face are so severe, our defense lawyers will use all our resources in an attempt to get the charges against you reduced or dismissed. We appear in all municipal courts in north and central New Jersey and we work hard to protect your rights to the fullest extent.
Honest Assessment of Your DUI/DWI Case
Because of our extensive municipal court experience, we are in a position to advise a client about the probable outcome of the case, and whether our client should pursue a vigorous legal defense against the DUI charges. We are honest with our clients, and tell them when we find that their better, and less expensive, course of action is not to fight the DWI charge - but focus on reducing the penalties and seeking to dismiss other charges related to the DWI.
If you were charged with a DUI/DWI, or believe that your drunk driving arrest resulted from an improper traffic stop, contact the drunk driving defense lawyers at the Basking Ridge law firm of D'Alessandro & D'Alessandro, LLC today.
