DWI

Red Bank DWI Lawyers

Red Bank Municipal Court is extremely busy each week when it comes to driving while intoxicated (“DWI”) charges.  The volume of DUI cases isn’t overly surprising given that Red Bank is known to have one of the best downtowns in New Jersey. Broad Street and Front Street are flooded with bars and restaurants where alcohol consumption is a major component of the fabric. All the fun can turn in a whole different direction when lights go off in your rearview mirror because you are being stopped by Red Bank Police on suspicion of DWI.  If you had this experience and are now facing a DWI/DUI charge in Red Bank, give us a call. We are the largest drunk driving defense firm in the state and are comprised of several attorneys with over 20 years experience, including several former DWI prosecutors. Our credentials, including dual certification on the Alcotest, as well as in Field Sobriety Testing, not to mention being a longtime business inhabitant of the town, can prove extremely beneficial for our clients. Give us a call.

Our Red Bank DWI Firm defends all drinking and driving related charges including:

  • Driving Under the Influence of Drugs
  • Refusal To Provide a Breath Sample
  • Underage DWI
  • First Offenses
  • Second Offenses
  • Third Offenses
  • School Zone DWI/DUI

Make no mistake about it, there are no shortcuts when it comes to defending a DWI in Red Bank. There is no plea bargaining of drunk driving cases so the attorney you choose will have to succeed in your defense or you will be subject to the penalties provided under N.J.S.A. 39:4-50. For a first offense, this means thousands of dollars in financial consequences on top of a 3 month driver’s license suspension where your BAC is .08% but less than .10% and 7-12 months for readings of .10% or above. A second offense carries two years loss of license. The suspension escalates to 10 years for a third or subsequent offense. There is also a mandatory jail term in the case of a second or third offense. The term of imprisonment is 2-90 days for a second offense and 180 days for a third offense. While there is no mandatory jail for a first offense, it subjects you to not only fines, IDRC, and the possibility of an ignition interlock but also a $1,000 per year DMV surcharge for 3 years. If you want to avoid imposition of these penalties, you need to succeed in obtaining a dismissal of your DWI.
