Educating Clients About DWI/DUI
We believe that clients are best served when they are educated and empowered to make informed decisions regarding their defense and their future. The essential Elements of a Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) offense in NJ, governed by N.J.S.A. 39:4-50 , are:
- The Traffic Stop
- Proof of Operation of the Vehicle
- Proof of Intoxication which can include Breathalyzer Tests, the Alcotest, Blood Alcohol Content (BAC), Field Sobriety Tests, and Blood Tests.
- Death by Auto (Vehicular Homicide)
Our 64 Point Checklist — Defense Strategies to Fight Drunk Driving Charges
Whether your Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) charge is a 1st Offense, 2nd Offense, or 3rd or Subsequent Offense, we can employ a number of legal strategies to protect your rights and interests. In addition to the best courtroom defense, our firm runs each case through a proprietary 64 Point DWI Checklist, seeking technical weaknesses in the charges against you.
We start by asking questions, such as: Did the police have a valid reason to pull you over? How does the State establish that you were intoxicated? Did the police officer use an Alcotest or a Breathalyzer test to determine Blood Alcohol Content (BAC)? Did the officer properly conduct field sobriety tests? Whatever BAC test they used, was the test administered correctly?
