Hoagland, Longo, Moran, Dunst & Doukas

Our Team Provides Aggressive Representation in Drunk Driving Cases

New Jersey has extremely stringent laws and penalties for driving while intoxicated/driving under the influence (DWI/DUI) arrests. An arrest and subsequent DWI/DUI conviction can lead to license suspension, a criminal record, expensive fines and surcharges, increased insurance rates and even jail time. If you have been charged with DWI/DUI, you need a lawyer who will aggressively challenge the prosecution’s case. The experienced criminal defense attorneys at Hoagland, Longo, Moran, Dunst & Doukas, LLP are committed to defending your rights.

Fighting Your DWI Charge

Our attorneys will work diligently toward a dismissal or reduction of the charges filed against you. We understand the extreme hardship a loss of your driver’s license creates. Our goal is to minimize or eliminate the period of suspension you face. Our attorneys closely examine every aspect of your case looking for ways to defend against the allegations made against you, such as:

Did the police officer pull you over for a valid reason? By law, you are protected from an illegal traffic stop. The police must have a valid reason to pull you over. If they did not, any evidence in your case derived from your stop may be inadmissible in court.

Was the sobriety test properly conducted? If the police officer did not correctly conduct your field sobriety tests, the results may be contested.

Are the results of the breath test reliable? We investigate whether the breathalyzer was properly maintained and calibrated, as well as whether the officer followed proper protocols for its use.

Do you have an underlying medical condition? Some underlying medical conditions affect field sobriety tests and may question the reliability of the results.

Representing Defendants in All Types of DWI / DUI Cases

Driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or prescription medication does not fall under a single charge; there are varying offenses and related penalties. We represent:

• First Time Offenders
• Repeat Offenders
• Drivers Under the Age of 21
• Drivers With Suspended Licenses
• Drivers Who Refused the Breath Test
• Drivers Involved in Accidents
