New Jersey DWI Lawyers and Drug Possession Attorneys

Understanding the Serious Nature of DUI Charges

If convicted on a charge of DUI / DWI, you could lose your license, spend time in jail, and pay a heavy fine. Additionally, if the charges against you are not reduced or expunged from your driving record, you can expect to pay substantially more for car insurance in the years ahead. At Johnson & Johnson, our DWI lawyers work with the court in helping our clients avoid jail and other serious consequences associated with a DUI / DWI conviction. Depending on your driving record and the circumstances of your arrest, we ask the court to consider sentencing you to community service, enrollment in driver's education, and alcohol abuse counseling instead of sending you to jail and suspending or revoking your license.

When Challenging a DUI / DWI Arrest Makes Sense

Of course, not everyone charged with DUI is guilty of driving drunk, nor is every arrest conducted properly. Our DWI lawyers determine if a field sobriety test was conducted according to procedure, whether reasonable suspicion existed in the first place to pull you over, and whether the breathalyzer used was calibrated correctly and in good working order.

A number of factors can affect a breathalyzer or blood alcohol test, such as how hard you blow into a breathalyzer, whether the machine has received maintenance recently, how a blood sample is collected, and the time lapse between your arrest and a blood test. When good reasons exist to challenge a DUI arrest, we have the experience and resources needed to challenge the evidence against you.

Drug Distribution and Narcotics Possession

Arrests for drug distribution and drug possession often raise a number of Constitutional issues. At Johnson & Johnson, our drug possession attorneys evaluate the constitutionality of a search and seizure, as well as police conduct in regard to the handling of evidence and use of informant testimony. Since it's not uncommon for police to find drugs after pulling a car over, our attorneys look at whether police had reasonable suspicion in the first place and probable cause to search your vehicle. If there was nothing illegal or suspicion in plain view to justify a search of your car, we move to have any confiscated drug evidence thrown out.

Negotiating with Prosecutors in Drug Distribution Cases

When the evidence against you is not in question, arranging a plea bargain with the prosecution can sometimes result in a reduction of the charges or sentence against you. As skilled negotiators with years of criminal law experience, we understand how prosecutors and judges view certain kinds of cases and what can be done to arrange a plea bargain in our client's best interest.
