Convictions Reversed and New Trial Won for Man Serving 20-Year Sentence


DWI Charges

Of all the possible charges someone could be facing in a Municipal Court, it is beyond dispute that DWI/DUI is the most frustratingly complex.

Loss of driving privileges, possibly for for years, thousands of dollars in fines, assessments and sir-charges, up to 6 months wasted in a county jail and/or compulsory indentured servitude through mandatory “community service”, or a combination of all of the above hinge on fractions and percentages as reflected in prosecutor proffered breath test results as well as one’s prior offense history. 

One is told of all of the aforementioned possibilities, often by the same fair and impartial municipal court judge that will ultimately determine innocence or guilt. The State of New Jersey is only 1 of a handful of states that refuse to allow someone the right to a trial by one’s peers in the form of a jury in DWI/DUI prosecutions.   This same municipal court judge must be re-appointed every 3 years or so by the same township that stands to reap a percentage of the thousands of dollars the government will accrue from each conviction. 

When one’s livelihood and the ability to support one’s family hinges on effective representation, the experienced DWI defense attorneys of Garces & Grabler, in conjunction with lauded defense expert witnesses (themselves with DWI law enforcement backgrounds), have successfully maneuvered through the political waters and stigma that may attach to a DWI prosecution. 

Our DWI Defense Team zealously enforces an accused’s constitutional due process rights to be presumed innocent at trial, as well as conducts effective “damage control” as a result of often spotting technical deficiencies with the prosecution’s case.  To this effect, our team is one of only six law offices that has been active defense participants for over two years in the pending New Jersey Supreme Court Alcotest breath test reliability hearings.

When faced with such harsh consequences and unfortunate circumstances, you owe it to yourself, and to the many others who find themselves in these unfortunate circumstances, to not simply roll over for those who refuse to take into considerations your particular circumstances.  Protect yourself.  Invest in us.  Leave no stone unturned and assert your rights.  We can help.
