DUI/DWI Drunk Driving

North New Jersey Drunk Driving Attorney

You may have thought you were under the .08 blood alcohol content (BAC) limit as you drove on the Palisades Interstate Parkway, but a breathalyzer test registered a higher number. Being arrested for DUI drunk driving - whatever the road or time or conditions - can be a confusing experience. And that is just the beginning of a complicated legal process. You need a DUI defense lawyer who can explain the process and the possible DUI penalties. Our legal team has the experience to work on your behalf to seek to prevent the possibility that you could lose a license, or worse.

At the Law Offices of Benjamin G. Kelsen, Esq. LLC, we have handled many North Jersey DUI cases in Bergen County, Passaic County, Essex County, and Hudson County. Hackensack DUI lawyer Benjamin Kelsen gives close personal attention to each case.

  • Our DUI / DWI defense law firm will obtain and examine the complaint.
  • What was the blood alcohol content (BAC)? Was it close to .08 - and therefore questionable?
  • What were the circumstances? Were you driving or were you simply sleeping in a parked car? We want to know what happened from your viewpoint.
  • What is your driving history? Have you had previous arrests or convictions? Were you driving under a license reinstatement, following a previously suspended license?
  • DUI defense lawyer Benjamin Kelsen can handle the arraignment by mail so that you don't have to be there.
  • We will do pre-trial discovery, evaluate the evidence, and recommend the best course of action - whether a plea or a trial.
  • If the evidence was improperly obtained, we will argue a suppression motion.
  • Our DUI defense law firm will determine ways that your penalties might be limited - lower fines, shorter license loss time, for example.

Why do you need a lawyer? An experienced DUI defense lawyer can guide you through the process. Contact Hackensack DUI lawyer Benjamin Kelsen now so he can begin protecting your rights.
