DWI and DUI Cases We Handle
I think its obvious that, in today's society, a drivers license is an absolute necessity. Imagine how your life would change without the ability to drive legally. A D.U.I. conviction (same thing as a DWI), or one for refusal to submit to the breath test, will result in a loss of license and/or installation of the Ignition Interlock from three months to eight years, as well as jail for up to 180 days, depending on how may prior convictions you have as well as other circumstances. In addition, you face a yearly surcharge of $1,000.00, or more, for three years, substantially increased insurance rates, possible ignition interlock and attendance at an alcohol resource center.
If you are found guilty of a D.U.I, in a school zone, or you injure someone in a accident, while you're intoxicated, the penalties are much more severe.
In addition to D.U.I., under the N.J. Motor Vehicle Code, there are many circumstances where your "privilege" to drive can be suspended or otherwise adversely affected. In certain circumstances, even minor traffic violations can result in a license suspension, fine, increased insurance rates, surcharges and, yes, even jail. In fact, although generally not imposed, even most minor moving traffic violations provide for a period of suspension and/or jail time. Unfortunately, unlike other States, New Jersey does not allow a work license, if your license is suspended.
So, if you're charged with any motor vehicle violation, its always best to at least consult with an experienced attorney

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a criminal defense lawyer do?
A criminal defense lawyer fulfills many important roles during the course of a criminal case. He or she is is responsible for defending a person who is charged with a crime. He or she speaks on the client’s behalf. As part of their representation, a Criminal Defense Attorney will, where necessary, investigate his client's case, interview witnesses, hire expert witnesses, collect evidence, review the prosecutors evidence and prepare a defense strategy.
Why are criminal defense attorneys important?
Criminal law is a complex body of state and federal legislation. In fact, each state often sets its own definitions and punishments for state crimes. The majority of crimes are state crimes. Exceptions include causing damage to federal property or inflicting injury upon a federal employee.
The average person will not have an understanding of criminal law or the criminal justice process. Unfortunately, ignorance or failing to understand criminal law is rarely an adequate defense to avoid being found guilty.
Although an individual has the right to represent himself or herself during criminal trial proceedings, the consequences of having poor legal representation can be severe. Misdemeanors, which are lesser crimes, might only entail a fine or a brief jail sentence, but felonies, which are more serious crimes, can lead to long prison terms. This is why it is so important to have someone knowledgeable about the law argue on your behalf.
How do you help reduce my sentence?
Criminal defense attorneys research the facts, investigate the case against their clients and try to negotiate deals with their adversaries (prosecutors). These deals may include reduced bail, reduced charges, and reduced sentences. Because of a number of factors—political and public pressure, overcrowded jails, overloaded court calendars—deal-making has grown in importance and has become an essential element in unclogging the criminal justice system.
How often should we communicate if I am your client?
A lawyer must stay in contact with his or her client to explain any developments in the case and to keep him or she informed about the case. The lawyer must ensure that conversations with the client are kept confidential. The lawyer must also ensure that he or she communicates information about the case to the client so that he or she has a better understanding of the possible consequences. You’re never alone in your case. We are aware that you may have questions about your case, and we are available to answer your questions, during regular business hours or we can schedule an after hours appointment by phone or virtually.

Testimonials
I retained Mr. Redden for a D.U.I. a few years ago. Since I travel extensively for my business, I was extremely concerned about losing my license and not being able to work. Mr. Redden made clear from the beginning that he could not guarantee I would not lose my license, but that he would do his best to save it. He delivered on that promise. Mr. Redden reviewed the evidence in my case and found a problem with the evidence. As a result, the D.U.l. was dismissed. I would recommend him to anyone.

My daughter was killed in a car accident, after being served excessive alcohol by a bar, leaving her two small children without a mother. Some people tried to say it was my daughter's fault, but Mr. Redden worked hard and was able to prove that the bar was negligent for serving her too much alcohol. He recovered money to help her children.

I was facing my second D.U.I. and a two year loss of my license. Since I also have a Commercial License that I use for work, if I was convicted of the D.U.I., I would have lost a lot of business and possibly have been destroyed financially. I had used a high-priced law firm for my first D.U.I. and was not happy with the results.
I had met Mr. Redden socially and liked his personality, knowledge of the law and his passion to win for his clients. I hired Mr. Redden - at a much lower fee than my previous lawyer - and he fought hard and got the D.U.I. charge dismissed.
I would recommend him to anyone with a legal problem, and I've referred family and friends to him.

I was asked by a close family member to loan them a significant amount of money. Due to our close family relationship, I didn't get the loan in writing, and later the other person refused to repay me. It caused an extreme financial hardship for me and my family. People told me without a written contract, I would never get paid. I hired Mr. Redden to try and get my money back. He not only got my money paid back to me, he made the other person pay his attorneys fees. He did a great job.
