The borough of Ramsey is a Bergen County municipality with plenty of individuals charged with DWI. The town may only have approximately 14,473 residents but it is one of the top DUI originators in the region. Roadways like Darlington Avenue, Central Avenue, Wyckoff Avenue, N.J. Route 17 and County Route 507 are clearly the largest targets for driving while intoxicated. If you were arrested in Ramsey NJ for violating N.J.S.A. 39:4-50, you need the services of a skilled DWI attorney like those at The Law Offices of Jonathan F. Marshall. The consequences of a conviction are extreme and there is no ability to utilize plea bargaining thereby making it that much more crucial to hire a seasoned advocate to defend your Ramsey DWI offense.
