Lakehurst DUI Attorney

Lakehurst NJ Drug DUI Attorney

For such a tiny borough in the middle of Manchester Township, Lakehurst writes up a significant number of Ocean County DWI tickets each year. If you or your loved one has been pulled over and subsequently failed or refused to submit to a Standardized Field Sobriety Test or Alcotest issued by a Lakehurst or NJ state police officer, then you should understand that a DWI ticket in New Jersey is a very serious and complicated matter. It is important that you educate yourself concerning the penalties and consequences of drunk driving charges while putting yourself in the best position to beat the charges that you face. New Jersey has among the strictest DWI and DUI laws in the nation. Contributing factors to the severity of NJ DWI laws include:

1) That the state does not offer any plea-bargaining for DWI charges;

2) If convicted, you may lose your license for a mandatory period ranging from 4 months to up to 8 years; and

3) You can face additional mandatory penalties such as the installation of an ignition interlock device and mandatory drunk driving classes through the IDRC.

DWI Arrests in Lakehurst New Jersey

The best (and only) way to beat the serious charges you face is to challenge the state’s case against you. At the William Proetta Criminal Law we meticulously analyze the prosecution’s discovery to pinpoint technicalities and inconsistencies within the evidence against you. For example, we have gotten many clients’ Alcotest readings suppressed by proving that the police did nor follow proper protocol when administering the test. Such a suppression of results in dramatically lowering the suspension period and can even lead to a “Not Guilty” ruling.
