Clinton DWI Attorney
The Township of Clinton is located on the western border of New Jersey along Interstate 78 and U.S. Highway 202. It had the second highest total for DUI filings in Hunterdon County last year (2014-15) with a high percentage of those arrested being out-of-state motorists, especially Pennsylvania. Anyone charged with DWI in Clinton needs to take the offense very seriously as the law imposes extreme penalties. You will absolutely lose your license if you are convicted and jail will also be mandatory if this is your second or third offense. Another important consideration is that no plea bargaining is permitted in driving while intoxicated cases making it necessary to demonstrate a defect in the prosecutor’s case in order to escape the aforementioned consequences. Experienced representation by an attorney with the skills to dismantle an offense is therefore crucial to protecting your future. The lawyers at The Law Offices of Jonathan F. Marshall are some of the most heavily armed in terms of DWI/DUI experience that you can find in the state. The team includes eight defense attorneys, many of whom are former prosecutors and certified on the Alcotest and in field sobriety testing. We are ready to put our knowledge and abilities into action to insure you have every opportunity to win your Clinton DWI. Call us anytime 24/7 at 908-722-1011 for a free consultation.
Clinton Township NJ DWI Offense
If you were arrested based on allegations of driving while intoxicated or while impaired by drugs (e.g. marijuana) in Hunterdon County’s third most populated town, your case will be heard in the Clinton Municipal Court. This is also the location with DWI arrests made in Union Township are handled as the two municipalities have made this a “joint court”. The municipal court is located at 1370 Route 31N, 3rd Floor, Annandale, NJ 08801 and the telephone number is (908)735-3731. All decisions in your case, including at trial, will be made by Judge Eric Perkins. The daily administration of the court is the responsibility of Lynn Lorenz. The prosecutor serving both towns is Robert Ballard, Esq. A summons or ticket charging a motorist with DWI is marked “court appearance required.” What this means is that your attendance in all proceedings is mandatory and that failure to appear will almost certainly result in a warrant. It is obviously important that you take action to secure representation as quickly as possible following your arrest.
Clinton NJ DUI Lawyer
The biggest mistake we see DUI suspects make is jumping to one of two erroneous conclusions. The first is assuming that nothing can be done to fight a DWI charge and the second that every lawyer can accomplish the same thing in your case. The truth is, however, that the skills of attorneys differ greatly depending on their training, experience and determination. It is also a fact that a firm like ours secures dismissals of driving under the influence charges in a much higher percentage of cases than you might imagine. You should do your research wisely when selecting an attorney as your decision could easily make the difference between conviction and innocence. The Law Offices of Jonathan F. Marshall is an extremely capable option in this regard. Closely examine our credentials as there probably is not another that you can identify with comparable resources in the state.
