Southampton is located at the center of Burlington County and a DWI jurisdiction that our attorneys know well. Two major highways, U.S. Route 206 and New Jersey Route 70, have significant mileage that traverse the township. This brings loads of opportunity for contact with DUI patrols. The result is well over one-hundred motorists being charged with violating N.J.S.A. 39:4-50 (“Driving while intoxicated”) in Southampton Township each year. If you were arrested for DWI, DUI or Refusing to Provide a Breath Test, the most important decision you make in protecting yourself is your selection of an attorney. While you may be thinking that someone with “juice” in the town can save you from a license suspension and other penalties for drinking and driving, this is a fallacy. NJ law makes plea bargaining illegal in a DWI case so the only way to avoid a conviction is by your lawyer defeating the offense. Skill will obviously play a major role in this quest so your selection must be a good one.
