DWI Defense From Lawyers Who Know How to Win

Hire Our Long Branch Attorneys After a DWI Arrest

New Jersey courts treat DWI arrests very seriously. A DWI conviction means a mandatory loss of driving privileges, substantial fines, related financial expenses and the real possibility of jail time. In addition, New Jersey laws provide for increased penalties if you are arrested in a school zone, no matter what time of day, or if you have prior DWI convictions.

DWI Arrests Can Be Beat

It is a myth that DWI arrests cannot be beat. At Koufos & Norgaard, LLC, we have a record of success getting positive results for clients facing criminal charges after a DWI arrest. There are not necessarily any special secrets to the work of winning a DWI case. Instead, we win our cases by old-fashioned hard work and preparation. Our attorneys have won a reputation as aggressive advocates who are not afraid of a good fight. Our reputation is based on the real results we have achieved in DWI defense cases for our clients.

A Record of Success: At Koufos & Norgaard, we believe that real examples are worth more than promises. Read about our past notable cases to get an idea of our capabilities in the arena of criminal defense.

How We Fight DWI Cases

To fight an arrest for a drunk-driving-related offense, our lawyers will subpoena critical information from the police about the traffic stop and field sobriety test in order to look for procedural and constitutional violations. We make a similar examination of the Breathalyzer or Alcotest machine. In many cases, we ask experts to review the scientific data that is at the center of most DWI cases.

We don't stop there. Our attorneys and investigators will visit and photograph the scene of the arrest to make sure that any field sobriety tests were administered under proper conditions, the absence of which may bolster our motions to dismiss the DWI charges against you.

After an arrest, one of the first things you should do is consult an experienced DWI defense lawyer. To make an immediate appointment with one of our attorneys, contact us online or call toll free 888-612-3089.
