A DWI arrest in New Jersey can be a frightening experience. You’re facing potential jail time, hefty fines, license suspension, and a criminal record that could impact your job, housing, and future. But don’t despair. While getting DWI charges completely dismissed isn’t always easy, it’s definitely possible with the right legal representation.
Understanding the Challenges of a DWI Arrest
The prosecution in a DWI case has a significant advantage. They have resources, experience, and the weight of the state behind them. They’ll likely present a strong case against you, focusing on evidence like:
- Field sobriety tests: Your performance on tests like the walk-and-turn or one-leg stand.
- Breathalyzer results: The results of the breathalyzer test, which measures your blood alcohol content (BAC).
- Officer testimony: The officer’s observations of your behavior, driving, and statements you made.
Building a Strong DWI Defense
However, a skilled DWI defense attorney can effectively challenge the prosecution’s case. Here are some key strategies:
- Questioning the Legality of the Stop: Did the officer have a valid reason to pull you over? Was the stop conducted lawfully?
- Challenging the Field Sobriety Tests: These tests are subjective and can be influenced by factors like age, weight, and medical conditions. An experienced attorney can argue that your performance on these tests was inaccurate or unreliable.
- Attacking the Breathalyzer Results: Breathalyzer tests can be affected by various factors, including proper calibration, operator error, and even certain medical conditions. Your attorney can investigate potential issues with the breathalyzer test and challenge its admissibility in court.
- Investigating Police Procedures: Were proper procedures followed during your arrest and processing? Any deviations from protocol could weaken the prosecution’s case.
- Negotiating for Reduced Charges: In some cases, it may be possible to negotiate a plea deal with the prosecution, such as reduced charges or a lesser sentence.
