DUI Offense in Morristown New Jersey
The town of Morristown is a bustling municipality in Morris County with plenty of DWI offenses. There are many downtown bars and restaurants, especially along Washington Street in the area of the Green, which generate many of the DUI charges in the community. If you were charged with violating N.J.S.A. 39:4-50 (“Driving while intoxicated”) in Morristown, it is certainly in your best interests to hire a skilled lawyer as soon as possible. The penalties for driving under the influence include a mandatory driver’s license suspension and other serious penalties that can only be avoided by successfully defending the charge. There is no other way to escape a conviction as plea bargaining has been outlawed in DWI and DUI cases.
