Hackensack is the county seat, home of the Bergen County Superior Court, and boasts many other characteristics that make it a popular destination and fertile venue for DWI charges. The primary roads in the city where people are arrested for DUI are River Street, Central Avenue, Interstate 80 and Route 17. Irrespective of where your offense arose, it is important that you speak to an attorney as soon as possible. The law is unforgiving when it comes to violations of N.J.S.A. 39:4-50 (“driving while intoxicated”) and results in dire penalties for even a first infraction. When you consider this fact in tandem with the prohibition against plea bargaining a driving under the influence in the state, you have ample motivation to find the best DWI attorney you can find.
The team of lawyers at our firm, The Law Offices of Jonathan F. Marshall, can serve you well in this capacity. We possess a staff with credentials that are truly unique including over 100 years of collective experience, multiple former prosecutors, and advanced training few can parallel. Mr. Marshall, Mr. Bonus and Mr. Proetta are among less than 10 in New Jersey who are dual certified by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration as instructors in field sobriety testing and by Drager Laboratories on the Alcotest 7110 (i.e. breathalyzer). Knowledge in these areas has proven invaluable in achieving favorable DWI results. To speak to an attorney in our Hackensack Office, call (201) 267-9895.
