Bound Brook NJ DWI Lawyer
The Borough of Bound Brook is a small New Jersey town located along the Raritan River which is best known as the home of the graham cracker, the site of a noted Revolutionary War battle and the source of some of the worst flooding in the state. For those of us that are active in the defense of DWI, it is also a hotbed for N.J.S.A. 39:4-50 violations. Despite measuring only 1.695 square miles, 125 motorists were charged with DUI in the municipality last year resulting in its second place ranking in Somerset County. The gaudy total is definitely the result of aggressive drunk driving enforcement by the Bound Brook Police although the presence of U.S. Route 22, Route 22 and County Route 527 is also a factor.

The threshold for intoxication in NJ is a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or more. There is no bright line standard when it comes to DUI. All Bround Brook cases involving either form of this violation, in addition to refusal to take a breath test, are handled in its municipal court. The Bound Brook Municipal Court is located at 230 Hamilton Street, Bound Brook, NJ 08805.
