We fight on behalf of clients across the county and surrounding areas, and we approach every case with the same commitment: protecting your license, your record, and your future.
How We Defend Bergen County Traffic Violation Cases
Jae Lee Law has experienced Bergen County Drunk Driving Attorneys. DUI/DWI is a crime in New Jersey and is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Even a first-time offender faces a 7-month loss of his or her license. Let an experienced traffic lawyer at Jae Lee Law examine the testing and police procedure, and when possible, challenge the evidence presented by the State using expert witnesses. Do not face these potentially catastrophic consequences alone. Allow the aggressive, experienced attorneys at Jae Lee Law to fight for you.
We can help defend you against charges such as:
- Driving with a suspended or revoked license
- Leaving the scene of an accident/failure to report
- Driving without insurance
The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission details that a first-offense DUI conviction carries a license suspension of seven months to one year, along with mandatory fines, surcharges, and required completion of the Intoxicated Driver Resource Center program. Understanding the full scope of drunk driving penalties in New Jersey before making any decisions about your case is critical. If you refused a breath test at the time of your arrest, the refusal may be charged as its own offense, sometimes on top of a DWI or DUI, and the penalties can vary based on your history and the circumstances, so our attorneys review every detail of how the test was conducted and whether proper procedure was followed.
Our Attorneys Will Help You Aggressively Defend Bergen County Criminal Municipal Court Cases
Many people make the mistake of appearing in Municipal Court for Criminal matters without being represented by a competent criminal lawyer. At Jae Lee Law, we have former Municipal Prosecutors and Assistant District Attorneys who know the ins and outs of criminal prosecution and police procedure and will put that knowledge to use to give you the best possible defense.
There is a common misconception that a conviction for a disorderly persons offense in New Jersey does not result in jail time. This is untrue! A conviction in Municipal Court can lead to fines, probation, community service, or county jail time. Let us put our years of experience prosecuting criminals to work for you to give you the best possible defense for offenses like the following:
- Criminal mischief
- Underage possession or use of alcohol
- Possession of fake ID
- Possession of drug paraphernalia
- Domestic violence
- Municipal ordinance violations
Each of these charges carries real consequences that can affect your record, your employment prospects, and your future. Even offenses that appear minor on the surface can follow you for years, which is why speaking with one of our Bergen County criminal defense attorneys as soon as possible after being charged is the most effective step you can take toward protecting your rights.
