Strategies Tailored to the Unique Facts of Your DWI Case
Suppose you have faced a charge with Driving Under the Influence (DUI) or Driving While Intoxicated (DWI). In that case, it is critical that you hire a Morristown DWI lawyer who can assess the strengths and weaknesses of your case to minimize the repercussions of the drunk driving charge.
At James Porfido, Attorney at Law, we have successfully represented many clients charged with drunk driving in Morristown, New Jersey. As a result, we have the skill and experience needed to spot and exploit deficiencies in the prosecution’s case, such as an illegal vehicle stop or arrest, improper administration of the standardized field sobriety test (SFSTS), and unreliable Alcotest and breathalyzer results.
We are familiar with the New Jersey Supreme Court’s ruling on the proper administration of the Alcotest, and we know how to defend you and challenge the sobriety testing. Our firm can help you get the best possible results in your case. In addition, we frequently appear at Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) hearings to reinstate suspended licenses.
We have extensive experience and will take the following actions in your DWI case:
- We will examine the basis for the stop and make sure that officers had a legal reason to pull you over
- We will thoroughly examine the charges and challenge any evidence illegally obtained
- We will examine and challenge sobriety tests, including the basis for administration of the test
- We will review police reports, contact witnesses, and, when necessary, use expert testimony to build your defense
