Lawrence is one of the busier municipalities in Mercer County and has many DUI charges. The New Jersey Turnpike, U.S. Route 1 and Interstate 295 all run directly through the town and yield the majority of the DWI offenses. If you were stopped and arrested for violating N.J.S.A. 39:4-50 anywhere within the 22.06 square miles of this township, your selection of a lawyer is probably the most important decision you will make in terms of the outcome of your case. The penalties in event of conviction are extreme and there is no ability to engage in plea bargaining. The only way you can escape a conviction is to attack the charge on its merits and convince the court that the prosecutor is unable to prove the offense. A major factor in your achieving this objective is certainly the level of skill of the attorneys you hire.
