A DUI arrest. A court case. A conviction at trial. For many people, this is pretty much how it goes when they get pulled over for driving under the influence in New Jersey, particularly those in Somers Point. They assume that they are guilty and there is nothing they can do, and they put their fate in the hands of a state prosecutor and municipal court judge – neither of whom are sympathetic to endangering others by getting drunk and then getting behind the wheel.
But, this does not have to happen to you. You are entitled to defend yourself; and, regardless of the circumstances surrounding your arrest, you almost certainly have defenses available. Even if it is not possible to avoid a conviction entirely, there are various ways you can seek to have your charges reduced or obtain a minimal sentence in court. Trust us, we know. We have been representing DUI defendants in New Jersey for decades, and our defense attorneys have centuries of combined experience helping clients avoid unjust consequences after being arrested on suspicion of DUI.
Although Somers Point is only a little over 5 square miles, a large number of DUI/DWI offenses occur in the area, with the largest source of DUI-related charges and arrests taking place along the Garden State Parkway.
Our firm represents individuals in Somers Point and elsewhere in New Jersey charged with DUI/DWI and all other alcohol-related driving offenses. Even if you are facing a DUI charge as a first-time offender, you are at risk severe penalties, including steep fines, loss of driving privileges and potentially even time behind bars. If you were charged with an “implied consent” violation (for refusing to take a breath test) or possession of an open container, you could be face punishment even if you are not ultimately found guilty of DUI. As a result, you need to take your case very seriously, and this means hiring a qualified and skilled Somers Point DUI lawyer.
At Helmer, Conley & Kasselman, P.A., we work closely with each and every client to ensure that we can seek the best possible outcome from their case. Individuals facing DUI/DWI charges will appear in the Somers Point Municipal Court.

When deciding whether to hire a DWI lawyer, in addition to considering the potential consequences, it is also important to consider the defenses you have available.

Some of the potential defenses to DUI/DWI charges in New Jersey include:
