DWI / DUI

Effective New Jersey DUI / DWI Lawyers

New Jersey is one of the few states where a first offense for drunk driving is a traffic violation, rather than a criminal offense. This does not mean that the consequences are not serious. Fines and driver's license suspensions are common for drunk driving convictions. At Aretsky & Aretsky, in Bergen County, New Jersey, we are committed to helping people minimize the consequences of DUI / DWIs.

Informed DUI Lawyers

One of the greatest risks that people charged with driving under influence face is losing their driver's license. A conviction for a DUI results in a mandatory driver's license suspension, and New Jersey does not issue work permits in DUI cases. In addition, a DUI conviction can result in stiff fines, surcharges, jail time, and increased insurance premiums. While fighting a DUI may seem expensive, not fighting a DUI can be devastating.

We do everything that is allowed under the law to minimize the consequences of a DUI. We challenge every aspects of the prosecutor's case, from the initial stop to the results of the breathalyzer. We regularly work with a former New Jersey State police officer to investigate the circumstance of the stop and the procedures the arresting officer followed. We also investigate the results of the on-site breathalyzer, as well as the results of any blood samples that were taken.

Our attorneys understand how police handle and, in some cases, mishandle DUI/DWI cases. We are dedicated to protecting our client's interests. In cases where the initial stop and breathalyzer were preformed accurately, we work with prosecutors to have charges reduced to a non-alcohol related offence. We are committed to ensuring that the affects on our clients of a DUI stop and arrest are as minimal as possible.
