Morristown DWI Lawyers

• Hoyt & Hoyt: DWI is a serious charge that may have a significant negative impact on your life. It is crucial to speak with an experienced DWI lawyer as soon as you are charged with drunk driving. If you are charged, your driver's license may be suspended or revoked. If your license is revoked, you may be unable to get to work and you may risk losing your job. This is even more significant if your job requires a commercial driver's license. Most people cannot afford to have their license suspended or revoked.
• James Porfido: Most Americans drink alcoholic beverages; many use both legal and illegal drugs. Overindulgence, however, results in intoxication and those "under the influence" can suffer from impaired judgment and abilities. Studies have shown a strong link between drug and alcohol use and crime. For example, it is estimated that as many as two-thirds of felons were intoxicated when arrested.
• Mueller, Russo & Warmington:

  Your Right to Remain Silent

  Do not give any statements! It is not a crime to refuse to answer questions.You have a right against self incrimination and anything you say can, and will, be used against you. It is impermissible for the police to use your unwillingness to speak against you, or to infer guilt from your silence.

  Your Right to an Attorney

  Exercise your right to counsel – Your access to a criminal defense attorney is guaranteed explicitly in the constitution. In fact, the constitution does not guarantee, or protect, a citizen's right to any other professional service. It is obvious that the framers of the constitution understood the necessity of counsel when the citizen was aligned against the vast resources of government. However, it is up to you to exercise this right!

  You have a right to an attorney even before charges are filed against you. If the police are questioning you, tell them you want to speak to an attorney. The police must cease all questioning after you make this request.

  Other Important Considerations: – It must be stressed that if the police conduct an illegal search or arrest, you should not physically resist them.You should demonstrate respect for their authority. Simply make it clear, however, that you are not consenting to their action.

  If you are arrested for driving while intoxicated, you may be required to submit to a breath or blood test. So long as the arrest was lawful, you do not have a right to refuse this test. Failure to consent to this test will likely lead to a mandatory license suspension.
   

• Greggory M. Marootian: There is simply no way of placing numerical odds of success on any case; including a DWI charge. Further, it is clear that New Jersey's firm public policy stance against DWI makes the defense of this charge a challenge even for an experienced, competent and aggressive defense counsel. The only guarantee any qualified, ethical and competent attorney can offer is to aggressively prepare your case, and carefully and thoroughly look for available defenses.
