In New Jersey, first, second, and third offense DWI and Refusal cases are treated severely by the courts.

Charged With DWI in Jackson Township New Jersey

As the largest DWI defense firm in the region (and perhaps the state) and the employer of the town’s former prosecutor, Nicholas Moschella, we know what is entailed in defending a Jackson case very well. Indeed, the township is historically in the top ten percent of statewide in terms of DUI charges and a major player in intoxicated driving enforcement in Ocean County. Last year (i.e. 2014-15), members of the Jackson Police Department and a state police issued well over 150 summonses for driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Many of these violations were issued on Interstate 195 although local roadways Veterans Highway, Bennetts Mills Road, Cassville Road, and Cedar Swap Road also yielded DWI stops as well. There is no doubting that the presence of Six Flags Great Adventure is a major contributing force to the considerable amount of individuals arrested and charged.

All N.J.S.A. 39:4-50 charges are heard in the Jackson Municipal Court located at 102 Jackson Drive, Jackson, NJ 08527. The judge of the court is Honorable Daniel Sahin. Erin Dicristina is the Court Administrator. If you need to contact the court, its telephone number is 732-928-1205. Attendance at all scheduled DWI hearings is mandatory absent you or your attorney securing an adjournment. Failure to appear typically results in a warrant for a defendant’s arrest so it is important that you immediately consult a lawyer.
