Yes. I make all consequential critical court appearances for my clients charged with DUI. While my associate attorneys may make preliminary appearances for my clients on pre trial matters, I personally appear for all significant stages of the client’s DUI case. Unlike other law firms who send associate attorneys to appear on all court appearances for their client’s DUI charge, that would never happen with my DUI clients.

I resolve all of my client’s DUI cases. If my client’s DUI charge results in a trial, I will be the trial attorney. There are no exceptions to this rule in my law firm. I know why people hire me to defend their DUI charges. They are hiring me because of my experience, my reputation, and the results that I achieve for my client’s charged with DUI. Therefore they will see me in court as their attorney for all important stages of their DUI charge. I insist on it. I would not have it any other way.

Any attorney can pay money to have a technical specialist optimize their website and say that they defend DUI cases. However, that does not make an experienced DUI attorney. Far from it.

The person charged with DUI should be careful when actually reading about the attorney on the particular website and their so-called accomplishments. Many of these attorney websites do not provide any specific information about their actual track record in defending DUI cases. Rather, they use general language describing their legal services.

Conversely, my website describes in detail some of my landmark accomplishments in defending DUI cases. For instance, it sets forth the dominant role that I played in the historic New Jersey State v. Chun (Alcotest reliability hearings) and the fact that I have tried contested DUI’s in every county in New Jersey. No other New Jersey attorney makes a similar claim in their website.

In addition, I have a Testimonial Page which features actual comments about my law firm from just a few of my many past clients who were successful in beating their DUI charge. Also, I have a Recent Results page which lists actual DUI cases that were successfully defended by me. These are some of the areas that someone charged with DUI should actually consider when making the important choice of which attorney to hire in defending their DUI.

Results. I have listed recent results in my website for a reason. Because I want prospective clients charged with DUI to see my record. An Individual charged with DUI needs to walk out of Municipal Court without a DUI on their driving record.

Therefore, it is critical for that person to inquire of the law firm that they are consulting with whether they have recently successfully defended a DUI. Although every DUI has its own unique facts and circumstances and it is impossible to predict the outcome of a given case, a prospective client has to know that it is possible to actually beat their DUI charge. After all, that is why an individual hires an attorney to defend their DUI in the first place.

We live in a results oriented world. So do attorneys. I will match my results in defending DUIs against any other attorney in New Jersey. Anytime. Anywhere.

In a word, experience. Quite simply, I have almost unparalleled experience in representing clients charged with DUI. I started my legal career in 1995. In 1997, I was hired my Francis X. Moore, then the recognized leader in New Jersey DUI defense.

Mr. Moore was a legendary figure in the history of municipal court practice (His Law Firm ultimately disbanded in 1998. He passed away in 2003). I was his last associate attorney. At the time I worked for him, he had stopped appearing in court for his clients. That became my job. In my first year of working for Mr. Moore, I tried over 100 separate DUI cases for the firm. In just this the first year alone, I tried more DUI’s than experienced trial attorneys defend in an entire career. Necessarily, this trial record has increased with each succeeding year of legal practice. I established my own law firm in 1998.

Nothing is more important in a courtroom than trial experience. You don’t get trial experience as an attorney by sitting in your office talking to prospective clients. You do not gain trial experience by having your clients’ plead guilty to DUI. You do not gain trial experience by sending other attorneys to appear in court for your clients. Rather, you gain trial experience by actually defending DUI’s in Municipal Court.

I will match my experience in representing individuals charged with DUI with any attorney in New Jersey. I will similarly match my trial experience in defending DUI’s with any attorney in New Jersey. Bar None.
