Wall NJ DWI Lawyer
Are you or a loved one facing Driving While Intoxicated, Underage DUI, Drug DUI or Refusal charge in Wall Township, New Jersey? NJ is extremely aggressive when it comes to prosecuting individuals who have been charged with drunk driving, and Wall leads Monmouth County in DWI conviction rates. This is largely due to the township’s sheer size, geography, and also the presence of major roadways that pass through the township and connect to popular Jersey Shore towns such as Belmar, Manasquan, and Asbury Park. State troopers and Wall police officers aggressively monitor traffic on the Garden State Parkway and Routes 34 and 35, and are quick to engage in traffic stops and even DWI checkpoints.

Wall NJ DWI Lawyer
At McGuckin Law, we utilize an aggressive, diligent, and caring approach while defending clients facing Refusal, Underage DWI, Drug DUI, or DWI in a School Zone charges in Wall. New Jersey law governing Driving While Intoxicating explicitly prohibits plea-bargaining these types of cases in an effort to secure a downgraded charge. As a result, a skilled DWI lawyer must attack the State’s case against you. We do this in a variety of ways. These include:
- Attacking the validity of the initial traffic stop. If the arresting officer lacked the probable cause to pull you over, then the arrest was unlawful.
- Scrutinizing the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests. If the officer failed to adhere to the strict protocol governing SFSTs, then the arrest may be invalid. Furthermore, you may have medical issues that preclude you from having been physically able to complete the SFSTs to the officer’s satisfaction. We will explore all of this.
- Challenging the results of the Alcotest 7110 to determine whether the Wall Police or NJ Troopers failed to correctly administer or calibrate the machine. This may result in the disqualification of your breath reading and a downgraded charge.
- Holding the prosecutor accountable. The State must provide all discoverable materials within a reasonable amount of time and be able to prove your case beyond a reasonable doubt.
As you can see, the best DUI defense is a skilled, aggressive offense!
