DWI Charge in Holmdel NJ

Photograph of checkpoint sign in Holmdel New JerseyWhile Homdel Township may be best known as the home of the PNC Bank Arts Center, Bell Labs, and as one of the finest “Six-Figure Towns” in the nation, it is also a hotbed for DWI and DUI violations. With a population of about 16,773 of its own and tens of thousands of motorist driving through the municipality to the Jersey Shore and other destinations on the Garden State Parkway, Route 35, and Route 34, there are plenty of potential targets for DWI/DUI stops. Having one of the largest State Police barracks stationed in the town also adds to the concentration of N.J.S.A. 39:4-50 violations. If you were arrested for DWI in Holmdel, the attorneys at the firm are superbly qualified to represent you. Our lawyers have decades of experience defending those charged with driving under the influence of both alcohol and drugs in Holmdel Municipal Court and are also among the few in the state who are certified as instructors in Standardized Field Sobriety Testing by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) and on the Draeger Alcotest 7710 Evidential (i.e. the breath test device used by police). It obviously also helps in our efforts that Nicholas Moschella, an attorney at The Law Offices of Jonathan F. Marshall, served as prosecutor in Holmdel New Jersey.

Fighting a DWI in Holmdel

New Jersey has outlawed any form of plea bargaining in 39:4-50 cases. What this means is that it is illegal for the prosecutor or judge of the Holmdel Municipal Court to downgrade a DWI/DUI without a legitimate legal basis to support the dismissal or, in the case of a first DWI offense, the reduction of a charge from a second tier (i.e. BAC of .10% or higher) to a first tier (i.e. .08% to .99%). A judge has no authority to apply a reduced BAC reading absent there being a legitimate reason to set aside the original results. The same is true in terms of avoiding a conviction altogether irrespective of whether it is conjunction with a third DWI offense, second offense DWI or first offense. The court must find a person guilty and impose the mandatory minimum penalties unless that is a bona fide flaw in the prosecutor’s case. What all of this should make abundantly clear to you is that you absolutely must hire the most skilled Holmdel DWI attorney you can find if you want to make any headway in your case. The most knowledgeable, committed and convincing lawyer is going to give you the best chance of averting the penalties which are currently in front of you. Someone who is trying to resolve your case as swiftly and with the least effort is, in our experience, going to be close to worthless in the long run as you probably can walk in and get the minimums on your own. But for those who are genuinely interested in avoiding a license suspension of 3-12 months for a first offense, 2 years for a second offense, and 10 years for a third offense, effective representation is going to be an absolute must. If you are someone who is interest in success, then you definitely want to consider Mr. Moschella and the other Holmdel DUI Attorneys at our firm.
