Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do immediately after a DWI arrest in Garfield?
Exercise your right to remain silent and call a lawyer as soon as possible. The sooner we get involved, the more we can protect your rights and preserve evidence.
Can a DWI charge really be dismissed?
Yes. Many DWIs are dismissed due to illegal stops, faulty testing, or procedural violations. We aggressively pursue every possible avenue.
Is it worth hiring a lawyer for a first DWI?
Absolutely. First offenses still carry license suspension, significant fines, and interlock requirements. An attorney can often secure a better outcome than you could on your own.
What if I refused the breath test?
Refusal comes with its own penalties under New Jersey law. But refusal charges aren’t automatic wins for the prosecution—we can challenge them.
