Manahawkin DUI Attorney
People who have been arrested for Driving While Intoxicated make up a large portion of our clientele at McGuckin Law. New Jersey DUI penalties are serious. For example, upon conviction of a first offense DWI in Stafford, the penalties include 3-12 month loss of license, hundreds of dollars in fines and thousands of dollars in MVC surcharges, possible installation of an ignition interlock device and mandatory drug and alcohol counseling. These penalties increase greatly if there are charges of Refusal to Submit to a Breath Test, DWI in a School Zone, or if the offense is a second or third DUI. Additionally, we represent those charged with Underage DUI and Drug DUI in Stafford Township.
Contributing to the seriousness of your DWI is the fact that plea-bargaining DUI charges is prohibited. Furthermore, New Jersey does not recognize the right to probationary licenses for individuals convicted of drunk driving. Asa  result, the best defense is an aggressive, organized offense. McGuckin Law is seasoned in going after the State’s case. We will attack the traffic stop, the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, and the validity of the breath sample provided.
