New Jersey DUI Lawyer With Offices in Red Bank, Toms River, Cranford, New Brunswick, Jersey City and Morristown

If you have been issued a ticket or summons for DWI, DUI or Refusal, you need to know that severe penalties, including a mandatory license suspension and at least $4,000 in monetary fines and assessments (e.g. fine, surcharge, etc.), apply in NJ if you are convicted. It is also important to keep in mind that the law renders it illegal to plea bargain drunk driving offenses so relationships with prosecutors and courts only come into play if the attorney you select is skilled enough to successfully attack the state's case. This is the reason why you hire a firm like ours rather than the run-of-the-mill lawyer.

Our Exceptional Credentials Eliminate the Risk of Missing Out on An Opportunity to Avoid a Conviction

The team of New Jersey DUI/DWI attorneys at The Law Offices of Jonathan F. Marshall possess over one-hundred (100) years of collective experience defending drunk driving charges throughout the state.  For at least three (3) of the lawyers at the firm, a significant portion of this experience has included years developing skills and relationships as NJ DWI prosecutors. You should also know that while there are only approximately 15 attorneys that are certified in Standardized Field Sobriety Testing ("SFST"), the tests police use to make an arrest, a significant percentage of this number are members of our staff. In point of fact, we even employ three (3) out of the five (5) lawyers who are certified instructors in SFST.  Lastly, not only are five (5) of the defense lawyers at our office certified by Drager Industries in the operation and maintenance of the Alcotest 7110, the breath test device used by police to measure blood alcohol content ("BAC"), but we have gone so far as to insure that our DWI paralegal, Dora Hilken, possesses this certification (less than 75 lawyers hold designation). We truly believe that these qualifications are unparallelled by any firm in New Jersey.

Do not assume there is nothing that can be done for a DWI/DUI

Your first question might be, why get a lawyer? If our attorneys take your case, it is because they believe they can improve your position. Our lawyers will examine all records of your DWI traffic stop, seeing if there was proof of intoxication and whether the blood or breath test was accurate. If you are charged with multiple DWIs they will discuss options regarding license suspension and other penalties. If you refused the blood alcohol test, they will explain how that affects your driving record:
