Many drivers in the US are arrested under suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs every day. The negative consequences of drunk driving have recently increased, largely in response to public outcry and the influence of groups like Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). If you find yourself arrested for illegal drunk driving, an attorney with experience defending drunk-driving cases can help protect your rights.

Saving Your License in New Jersey

In New Jersey, there are no hardship or conditional licenses. So, when you lose your license, you lose driving privileges for the length of your license suspension. The suspension for a first DWI offense is for a minimum of seven months. A second offense results in a two year suspension. The consequences for drunk driving in New Jersey are serious. That is why you want an aggressive and committed DWI defense lawyer at your side. At the Westfield area law offices of Bramnick, Rodriguez, Mitterhoff, Grabas, & Woodruff, we have been protecting the rights of the accused for over twenty years. We represent people accused of DWI throughout New Jersey and in cities such as Mountainside, Cranford, and Clark.

An experienced DWI defense attorney will try to help you avoid jail, negotiate to have the most serious charges reduced or dismissed, and fight your license suspension.

Fighting Your License Suspension, Saving Your License

The first thing our attorneys will do in any DWI case is explore all possible defenses, such as improper or unlawful police work during the traffic stop or during the administration of the breathalyzer or field sobriety tests. We will make sure that the breathalyzer in your case was functioning properly. We will try to negotiate a reduction or a dismissal of the charges. If we are unable to secure a dismissal of the charges, we are sometimes able to negotiate a guilty plea to a lesser charge, such as reckless driving. A conviction of reckless driving will not result in a license suspension. We will work with experts and former police officers to develop the best defense possible. If you are convicted, we will work through sentencing to minimize the damages.

Repeat Offenders

If you have been charged with a second or third drunk driving offense, you face even more serious consequences. A second or third conviction of DWI will result in longer license suspension times and an increased chance at jail time. If we are unable to secure a dismissal of the charges, we may try to have a second DWI treated as a first offense, depending on the timing of the offenses. A third DWI offense carries a mandatory jail sentence of 180 days in jail, although it is possible we will be able to negotiate the sentence so up to 90 days are spent in an alcohol treatment facility.
