There Is Something You Can Do About a Drunk Driving Charge
A DUI charge seems as simple as guilty or not guilty, but there are ways to improve your position and lessen your penalties. When you go to municipal court for your hearing, you want a lawyer on your side who knows the law, the tendencies of the local prosecutor and the judge, and different ways to resolve your case favorably. We prepare every drunk driving case as if it will go to a jury, which also gives us better leverage in negotiations.
Our experienced attorneys question every facet of the case against you. Did the officer have probable cause for the traffic stop? Were field sobriety test procedures conducted properly? Were you read your rights when arrested? Was the machinery for the breath test calibrated correctly? During the process of discovery, we aim to suppress any evidence that should not be admissible because of police errors or violations of your constitutional rights. Our proactive approach can have a huge impact on the rest of your case — if the prosecution cannot sustain the case as charged, we can move for dismissal, negotiate for lesser charges or dismantle their case at trial.
Morris County Drunk Driving Defense Lawyers
We have handled every scenario, from first-time DUI to repeat offenses. We have represented adults and under-21 drivers, and people facing automatic license suspension for refusing to take the Breathalyzer test. Whatever your circumstances, we can explain the court penalties and driver's license sanctions, and fight for your interests in both the criminal proceedings and administrative license hearing. Once we resolve your case, we can talk with you about expungement.
DUI Charges Coupled With Criminal Charges
Clearly more serious, if you are accused of injuring or killing someone while driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you need more than a DUI defense attorney — you need a criminal defense attorney. The trial lawyers at Gold, Albanese & Barletti will exhaust every defense to shield you from a prison sentence and/or a felony conviction on your record.
