New Jersey DWI
DWI Defense Lawyer in Southern New JerseyIf you're facing drunk driving charges in Camden County, Burlington County or elsewhere in South Jersey, contact Joseph A. Gembala III, Esq. & Associates in Philadelphia. Our experience with the defense of DUI or DWI cases on both sides of the Delaware can represent a major advantage for you in resolving these charges on favorable terms. In New Jersey, the loss of your ability to drive for six months or longer is a typical consequence of any drunk driving conviction, and the ability of your attorney to work with the prosecution toward a lighter charge is severely restricted. Additionally, just as in Pennsylvania, the penalties for DWI increase with such circumstances as an especially high blood alcohol reading, prior offenses, or any accident resulting in property damage, injury, or death. It remains possible in New Jersey to defend a DWI case on the basis of improper arrest, lack of probable cause to stop the vehicle, or errors in the administration of a blood alcohol test or field sobriety check. A successful challenge to any of these aspects of the case against you prior to trial can result in dismissal of the case. More commonly, however, the question in a New Jersey DWI case will be how long your license will be suspended. Nonresident drivers caught for drunk driving in New Jersey often seem to fare better than local defendants in Superior Court or Municipal Court, but there remains the possibility that commercial drivers or tourists from out of state will face penalties in their home state when the arrest and conviction is reported to their home DMV. Our defense of your case will take all of these circumstances into account in the effort to achieve the best result available under the facts and the law.
