Re: arrested at home

As long as the police can show that they had probable cause to arrest you then the arrest would be considered legal. However, they still need to prove their case before you can be convicted of the charge against you. This may not be so easy for them to do based on what you have said in your e-mail. I am an attorney who has handled very many cases similar to yours in various courts in New Jersey in the past. I would like to discuss your case in more detail. Please call me at 908-272-0111 to talk. There is never any charge for simply talking to me about a case. Thank you.

Sincerely yours, Ronald Aronds, Esq.

Re: arrested at home

If you drank after you parked and went home, then it cannot be considered drunk driving. Now, if your medication impairs your ability to drive, this may be another issue. I would have to know more facts to better understand the situation. Call 201-646-9799
