If charged with a drunk driving offense, immediately schedule a free appointment with Carl Herman as your driving privileges and ability to drive to work could be at stake.  Hiring an attorney as soon as possible after you are arrested (prior to your first scheduled appearance before the court) is to your benefit - delaying hiring counsel may hurt you.  New Jersey Supreme Court guidelines establish a sixty-day goal to dispose of DWI charges. Since these cases take such high priority in the system and will be pushed forward by the court aggressively, it is necessary for your attorney to act swiftly in gathering information.

Carl Herman aggressively defends drunk driving charges, and explores all possible defenses on your behalf.  In New Jersey, a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% is considered driving while intoxicated. The penalties and fines for driving while intoxicated or "DWI" depend upon whether you have previously been convicted of DWI.  If you have a prior DWI conviction then the potential penalties and fines that you will face are greater, and could include jail time. If your blood alcohol concentration is 0.10% or higher, then the statute imposes even greater penalties, including longer periods of incarceration and loss of license. 

Facing a drunk driving charge like Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol (DUI) or Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) can be a harrowing experience. The prospect of DUI penalties such as jail, or the loss of a driver’s license, is not pleasant to contemplate. Your freedom and ability to make a living may be at stake. Carl Herman can represent you as he is knowledgeable about all facets of DUI laws and DWI cases.  If you have received a ticket for Driving Under Influence, call immediately for a free consultation.
