Garfield Municipal Court

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do immediately after a DWI arrest in Garfield? Exercise your right to remain silent and call a lawyer as soon as possible. The sooner we get involved, the more we can protect your rights and preserve evidence. Can a DWI charge really be dismissed? Yes. Many DWIs are dismissed due to illegal stops, faulty testing, or procedural violations. We aggressively pursue every possible avenue. Is it worth hiring a lawyer for a first DWI? Absolutely. First offenses still carry license suspension, significant fines, and interlock requirements. An attorney can often secure a better outcome than you could on your own. What if I refused the breath test? Refusal comes with its own penalties under New Jersey law. But refusal charges aren’t automatic wins for the prosecution, we can challenge them. How much will a DWI defense cost? We offer transparent flat-fee pricing and flexible payment plans. Call us for a free consultation and a clear quote.
