DWI

The firm is experienced in representing those accused of a large number of offenses that are charged by the local police and which end up in Municipal Court. These include: traffic offenses, drunk driving, drug offenses, assaults, etc.

Police are now utilizing a new form of alcohol breath test, known as an "Alcotest." This device is supposedly an improvement over the old testing device, but we have found that it may in fact be reporting erroneous readings. The N.J. Supreme Court has accordingly entered an order "staying," or holding in abeyance, all sentences of individuals found guilty of DWI as a result of being compelled to submit to this device. The reliability of the new test will be determined by the courts in the near future.
