DUI/DWI - Municipal and Traffic Violations

Drunk Driving and Municipal Court Violations

Our Bergen County law firm advocates for clients facing a drunk driving charge or municipal court charges such as building code violations or minor drug possession charges. Our attorney, Walter K. Schreyer, takes the time to educate clients about their options and their rights after an arrest for DWI or following a summons to appear in municipal court. A DWI conviction carries stiff penalties in New Jersey; a traffic violation conviction can raise your auto insurance rates. We explain these penalties to our clients and help them decide how to proceed.

It is important to have a lawyer who can mount an aggressive drunk driving defense. The risks can be high, and license suspension is mandatory for all convictions. Penalties may include substantial fines, jail time, and community service, depending upon prior convictions, blood alcohol content, and other circumstances.

If you have been charged with a DWI (sometimes known as a DUI) in New Jersey, contact a lawyer right away. At our Westwood law firm, we investigate the case to consider whether your charges might be dismissed. We interview witnesses, analyze the arresting officer's report, and make sure the breathalyzer results were correctly interpreted. Because of our attorney's many years as a prosecutor and public defender, we know the best way to propose downgrading the charges in a drunk driving case.
