Legal Question in DUI Law in New Jersey

DWI Suspension

I was recently @ my pre-trial hearing for my DWI. The prosecutor offered a plea to 3 mos. rather than 7, and to drop the additional traffic tickets. The judge agreed, but the town police captain refused. Now I have a trial in July. If i am found guilty, can the judge ultimately overrule the mandatory 7 mos. suspension to something less?

Re: DWI Suspension

Did you have representation at the hearing??

I know this sounds self-serving, but a good lawyer would have made a difference (and probably still can....)

Re: DWI Suspension

That sounds really wierd. I would defer to your attorney but I don't see how the judge can go lower than the 7.

Re: DWI Suspension

If there is a lack of proof as to the reading, the judge can find you guilty of only the three month dwi violation.

I need to see the police reports

Call me if you like.

Re: DWI Suspension

Ultimately the sentence is up to the judge, and the police captain really should have no influence on the judge's decision. I am an attorney who has handled many cases similar to yours in various courts throughout New Jersey in the past. Please contact me to discuss your case in more detail. I never charge for simply talking to a person about their case. Thank you.

Sincerely yours, -Ronald Aronds, Esq.-
