Representation
by the right attorney can make a

The state of New Jersey is serious
about prosecuting impaired driving cases. Even first offenders are dealt with
severely in terms of license privilege suspensions and potential incarceration.
The details of the arrest can be significant in settling any charge for DUI in
New Jersey, and alcohol is not the only chemical influence that is cited when
charges are leveled. This means that officer testimony can play an important
role in any conviction, and subsequently an aggressive Flemington DUI lawyer
like attorney Stephen Williams can question the officer regarding what they
actually recall from the arrest. Your DUI lawyer understands that memories are
always freshest when you contact an attorney as soon as possible after the
fact.
Remaining Silent
The best action a suspected intoxicated driver can take is often remaining
silent during the officer investigation. Inform them that you want to speak
with an attorney first. Some drivers will actually opt to refuse the
breathalyzer as well, but there can be serious consequences because of implied
consent law that a DUI lawyer will not be able to help. However, the stop
itself could be dismissed as evidence if the police cannot truthfully justify
the stop.
Evaluating the Evidence
The first step your legal representative from the Law Office of Stephen
Williams will take is investigating the case and evaluating all evidence the
state is attempting to use in the prosecution, as all evidence must be obtained
according to specific rules and codes. Even breathalyzer results can be
questioned when the maintenance records are not up-to-date, and police officers
often stop drivers based on flimsy explanations such as a license plate that is
not illuminated. Cases where no BAC records are obtained are also problematic,
as officer testimony is all the state has as evidence in some instances.
Reasonable doubt is the standard, and an aggressive Flemington DUI lawyer will
work towards building as much doubt as possible.
