DWI Charge in Hasbrouck Heights New Jersey
Hasbrouck Heights may be a municipality in Bergen County that is one of the smallest and least densely populated in the state but you would not know it from DUI statistics. This Bergen County municipality is consistently in the top third for DWI charges. The lawyers at The Law Offices of Jonathan F. Marshall are well aware of this inconsistency given that we handle as many of these violations as any firm in the state. If you were charged in Hasbrouck Heights with driving while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs, an attorney on our team has the tools you need to escape a finding of guilt. Indeed, while there may only be a small group of less than ten in New Jersey that are dual certified on the Alcotest breathalyzer and as instructors in Field Sobriety Testing, we have three lawyers within this category.

There is no ability to obtain a dismissal of the charge or negate the mandatory penalties unless you can convince the prosecutor and judge that there is a legitimate flaw in the case against you. There is no ability otherwise to save you from consequences that include a license suspension of 3-12 months for a first offense, 2 years for a second offense or 10 years for a third offense.
