West Milford is the fifth most populated municipality in Passaic County and this is a major contributing factor for the high number of individuals arrested for DUI. The township is consistently near the top of the rankings with over one hundred DWI violations issued annually. When you consider this fact in combination with the lack of almost any major roadways in the town, you have a clear indication of the aggressiveness of the W. Milford Police Department in targeting drunk drivers. Call our Wayne Office for immediate assistance if you are facing a charge in West Milford. Our staff of former prosecutors and dual certified attorneys is ready to put its knowledge and skill into action for you.

Judge Perconti lacks any ability to relax the mandatory minimum penalties set forth in N.J.S.A. 39:4-50 if you are found guilty. There is no provision under the law that will allow a work or hardship license, relief from annual surcharges or you to avoid jail if it is a third offense. The penalties must be imposed if you are found guilty. Accordingly, you must mount an effective defense if you want to avoid these consequences. The first step in this process is obviously to secure representation from the best lawyer you can afford.
