Toms River NJ DWI Attorneys

Matthew Dorry, Former Toms River DWI ProsecutorToms River NJ is historically ranked number one in Ocean County for DWI and DUI offenses. It is not usually for over 400 driving while intoxicated and under the influence of drug charges to be filed in the town in a twelve month period. Staggering numbers like these indicate that the Toms River Police, as well as the New Jersey State Police patrolling the Garden State Parkway (“Parkway”) in the town, have a high rate of success in targeting N.J.S.A. 39:4-50 violations. There is no doubting the fact that most of the individuals arrested in Toms River for DWI had their encounter with police on major roadways like the Parkway, Route 9, Route 35, Route 37, Route 70, and Route 166. If you have been charged with DUI in Toms River NJ, our attorneys can offer you exceptional qualifications for defending your offense.

First and foremost is the fact that there will be no plea bargaining of driving while intoxicated charge. There is a strict rule in the state prohibiting an amendment or dismissal of a violation under 39:4-50 absent there existing a flaw in the state’s case. This is why is it so crucial for you to hire the most knowledgeable and experienced DWI defense lawyer if you want to have success in Toms River Municipal Court. The second thing you must keep in mind is that a DUI offense is defensible. The police must follow proper protocol when it comes to administering a breath test, taking a blood or urine sample, or field sobriety tests. You probably would be shocked to know just how often they deviate from the accepted standard and either make up their own or just forget what is proper. Irrespective, an effective defense strategy will identify these faults and allow you to escape a conviction. This task is extremely important as the penalties for driving while intoxicated or while driving under the influence of drugs in Toms River are extreme. There is a mandatory driver’s license suspension, thousands of dollars in financial consequences, and you can even be sent to jail. At least two days of incarceration is mandatory for a second offense and the minimum period escalates to 180 days for a third offense. Hiring a skilled lawyer is imperative if you want to avoid ramifications such as these.

I'm 45 years old and this was my first time ever getting in trouble with the law. I was in need of a lawyer and after careful research, I called John F. Marshall Attorneys and was introduced to Abe Basch. Abe was professional, supportive and very thorough. I had three charges against me, one civil and two criminal. I was so scared and expressed that to Abe. The first day I had to go to court, I was an absolute nervous wreck but Abe prepped me and kept my anxiety levels down by going over the process of the courts thoroughly with me. He fought to get my charges dismissed and won all three cases (two court appearances). Abe is positive, confident and he ensured I felt the same way. I'd like to say thank you to Abe for working so diligently on my cases to get them dismissed. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my chest! I highly recommend Abe for any charges you may be faced with. Rose C.
