To fight the DWI you will need a DWI lawyer. When you find out who used your name you will need a civil litigation lawyer to sue that person. Most of us DWI lawyers offer a free in office consultation during normal business hours.

Attorney General Guidelines for Municipal Prosecutors limit their discretion in plea negotiations on DWI charges. It is unlikely that the Municipal Prosecutor dismissed all charges but the reckless driving without very good reason.

Sounds like your going to have to go to court on this one. Your original lawyer may be the cheapest route on this one as he already knows your case, but you can always hire a new one.

Due to injuries her field tests may have been compromised. She denied injuries and opportunity to go to hospital. So SFST argument is hard to hold against cops since they did not know. However with a medical expert the accident can be a factor for concussion mobility and other reasons. In many... Read more »

As part of the plea you acknowledged probable cause for the stop and arrest. I do not believe it is worth the $20,000 plus fee that would be required for a case like this. In light of the plea, it would be extremely difficult to bring a civil rights case.
Hi. I am tutoring a 16 year old. His mother asked if I drop him home from the library. Can she sue me for life if I get into an accident, how can I avoid this situation? I'm worried. Can I have her sign a contract or is verbal/text consent okay? I am a 20+ adult.

Police will keep a person in custody until someone comes to get them or they are sober.

Yes it is prosecutable because he may have not been under the influence of alcohol, but instead under one or more types of drugs which made him unable to perform the sobriety tests. Note that although alcohol is legal and marijuana is legal it is not legal to drive with them in your system. Also... Read more »

In all honesty you should not be concerned about the fines but a few of these violations have a mandatory loss of license and even the possibility of jail time. That's what you need to hire a lawyer for, to try to reduce or eliminate these penalties. Money you can always make more, and you... Read more »

Can DRE testimony be used in a municipal or state court cases in the state of NJ?
answered on Apr 2, 2021
The special master decided that a Frye hearing is required to determine if DRE evidence is generally accepted. The Supreme Court approved of this, but did not issue a stay on DRE cases. Each municipal court is free to do what they please.
My case is solely based on DRE observations - no urine taken - no blood taken and a 0.00 blown in breathalyzer. Is the DRE observation enough to convict me with just observing me by DRE officer?
answered on Mar 20, 2021
The Supreme Court has denied a stay for these issues. So you should be demanding an immediate trial. Since the Frye Hearing is ongoing the DRE would be inadmissible and you should win.
remain the same as a first time refusal?

More information is needed to properly answer your question, so I suggest consulting with a lawyer to get the correct answer for your situation, but In general they are different offenses so the answer would be no, but generally if you have a refusal you get a DWI also so that would be your second...

How does NJ DMV Consider my offense’s 2 or 3?
Does the state of New Jersey consider me a 2nd time offender or a 3rd time offender? As far as how many DWI’S I have had in a lifetime. What should be showing on my Drivers Abstract a 2nd DWI or 3rd DWI??
answered on Oct 19, 2020
Best to ask your lawyer who handled the case but generally a step down only relates to the sentence and not to the number of DWI s you had so probably it's your third but check with your lawyer.
