DUI & DWI Defense, New Jersey

Our Approach to Your DUI / DWI Defense

At Walker & Hern, we provide the following legal services.

Building A Strong Defense for You.

1. THOROUGH CASE EVALUATION: Upon contacting our firm, we will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your case. Our experienced attorneys will review all relevant details, including the circumstances of your arrest, the legality of the stop and search, and any potential violations of your constitutional rights.


2. DETAILED EXAMINATION OF THE EVIDENCE: Our skilled team will meticulously examine the evidence against you, including police reports, breathalyzer and blood test results, and any other pertinent information. We will identify any weaknesses or inconsistencies that can be used to challenge the prosecution's case.


3. ENGAGING EXPERT WITNESSES: If necessary, we will work with top-rated, highly respected expert witnesses in DUI / DWI defense to provide testimony and support your defense. These experts can offer valuable insights and analysis that may strengthen your case and cast doubt on the prosecution's evidence.


4. IDENTIFYING POLICE PROCEDURAL ERRORS: Our attorneys are well-versed in the intricacies of DUI /DWI laws and procedures. We will carefully scrutinize every step of the legal process to identify any procedural errors or violations that may have occurred. These errors can provide grounds for the dismissal of your case.


5. IDENTIFYING VIOLATIONS OF YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS: If your constitutional rights were violated during your arrest or throughout the legal process, our attorneys will vigorously advocate for the exclusion of any evidence obtained unlawfully. This can significantly weaken the prosecution's case and increase the likelihood of a dismissal.


6. NEGOTIATING PLEA BARGAINS FOR DISMISSAL OF CHARGES: In some cases, negotiation with the prosecution may be an effective option. Our skilled negotiators will work tirelessly to secure a favorable plea agreement or alternative sentencing options.


7. AGGRESSIVE DEFENSE AT TRIAL: If your case proceeds to trial, our experienced trial attorneys will mount a strong and persuasive defense on your behalf. We will challenge the prosecution's evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and present compelling arguments to the court for an acquittal of all charges.
