Wayne is a municipality that ranks near the top in Passaic County for not only population (i.e. 54,717 residents) and size (i.e. 25.17 square miles) but also motorists charged with DUI annually. The township is the home to Willowbrook Mall, William Patterson University and many commercial enterprises along U.S. Route 46, and these are just a few of the characteristics that result in many DUI charges. While this type of violation is not criminal in nature under New Jersey Law, it carries significant penalties that include a mandatory driver’s license suspension for even a first offense. And if you want to avoid consequences like this you cannot rely on the hope of a favorable “plea bargain” as this practice is outlawed in resolving a DWI case. All of this should serve as ample evidence of the extreme importance of hiring a skilled NJ DWI Defense Lawyer to defend you.
