It can happen to almost anyone. You have a couple of drinks after work or at a party, but you feel in complete control of your faculties. On your way home, you’re pulled over for a minor infraction—maybe you have a tail light out, or you make a rolling stop at a corner. The officer asks if you’ve been drinking and you answer honestly. You submit to a blood alcohol content test and you’re over the legal limit. The next thing you know, you’re in the backseat of a squad car on your way to the local lockup. We can help.
At the Law Offices of Howard N. Sobel, we bring more than 40 years of experience to people in New Jersey who are arrested and charged with driving under the influence or driving while intoxicated. We understand the devastating impact a DUI/DWI conviction can have on your life, limiting your ability to drive, increasing your motor vehicle insurance premiums, and potentially putting your job in jeopardy. We offer a free initial consultation to anyone who has been arrested and charged with drunk driving. Contact our office online or call us at 856-424-6400 to schedule an appointment.
We handle all matters related to an arrest or prosecution for drunk driving, from the administrative proceeding to determine the status of your driving privileges to the criminal hearing to establish guilt or innocence. We’ll be your advocate throughout the process, from your initial detention through trial, if necessary.
When you retain us to represent you on charges of drinking and driving, we’ll start by conducting a thorough investigation of the facts and circumstances of your arrest. We’ll carefully review the traffic stop to determine whether law enforcement officers had probable cause to pull you over. We’ll question witnesses, review police reports, and confirm testing procedures to ensure that your rights were fully respected. We’ll confirm that you were properly notified of your rights if you were taken into custody. If we find any irregularities, we’ll seek to have improperly obtained evidence thrown out and charges dismissed, if appropriate.
You have rights—let us help protect them. Contact our office by email or call us at 856-424-6400 to set up a free initial consultation. We are available evenings and weekends upon request. We can visit you in detention, if necessary. We take all major credit cards.
