  • We are the only firm in NJ with five (5) attorneys who are certified on the Alcotest Breath Test Machine (we cannot identify another office in the county with anything more than 1 individual who is Alcotest certified);
  • We employ 3 of the 5 lawyers in the state who are certified instructors in Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, which is the only other basis for proving a DWI if the breathalyzer readings are eliminated;
  • Five of the approximately 15 defense lawyer who are certified in Standardized Field Sobriety Testing are members of our firm;
  • We are the only firm with their own Alcotest instrument that is the one used in NJ (there is only one other office with the machine but it is not the same version).

Whether your Wall DWI charge is a first offense, second offense or third offense, our experience and skill can help reduce and/or eliminate the negative consequences of a conviction. The penalties for a first offense include a mandatory license suspension of 3 months for a BAC case of .08% to .099% and 7 to 10 months for a BAC of .10% or higher, fines and assessments of approximately $800 to $1,000, a state surcharge of $1,000 a year for three years, installation of an ignition interlock for readings above .15%, and the possibility of up to 30 days in jail.

A second offense triggers similar financial ramifications with the addition of a mandatory license suspension of two years and jail time of two to ninety days. A third offense carries a license revocation of 10 years and jail of 180 days. While these penalties are significant, you should know that our highly qualified driving while intoxicated defense attorneys are successful in avoiding conviction in a much higher percentage of the cases than most would anticipate.
