An experienced New Jersey DWI defense lawyer can make a huge difference
How do you feel about your New Jersey DWI arrest? If you are like most people, you are probably scared about losing your license, having an ignition interlock device on your vehicle and the stigma that a drunk driving arrest and conviction can have on your life and your future. You may even be a little nervous about the possibility of going to jail or losing your insurance or your job. It's natural to feel overwhelmed by the process and the complexity of New Jersey DWI law and science. You have every right to be nervous because you are facing an allegation that can cause you embarrassment and inconvenience now, and could impact the rest of your life.
 New Jersey DWI Penalties: Even first offense penalties in New Jersey are designed to send a message that the state takes impaired driving very seriously. In fact, a first time conviction carries a mandatory license suspension. In addition to license suspensions with every conviction, there are heavy fines, and possible jail time. For second offense cases, a judge must sentence you to jail upon conviction.
In addition to the suspensions, jail and other court imposed sanctions, there are also very real life-consequences of a NJ DWI conviction. If you get convicted, you may find that your auto insurance company will drop you or raise your premiums. You may become ineligible for life, health or disability insurance coverage. You may no longer be allowed to rent vehicles. If you have a pilot's license, you may lose it. If you are a teacher, you could find yourself restricted in after-school activities and your contract may be cancelled. You may lose your security clearance or have it downgraded. You may experience problems with professional licensing. In short, there are many things that spring from a New Jersey DWI conviction that you won't see on paper, but that can severely damage your life and your ability to make a living.
There is simply so much at stake in a New Jersey DUI case that you need the advice and representation of a seasoned professional.
 Don't go to court without an experienced attorney who concentrates on New Jersey DWI Cases
New Jersey DWI Process: Navigating the court process can be daunting in any case, but is especially so in DWI cases. This is because, due to the high volume of charges that the courts and prosecutors must process, and due to the fact that a New Jersey drunk driving charge is truly the "every-man's" charge, prosecutors and judges may see your case as "routine" and less than serious unless you have a strong voice in the courtroom pointing out that this event and its outcome will have a lasting impact on your life and the lives of those you care about.
In addition to the court process which will determine your guilt or innocence, as well as your sentence and terms of probation, you will also need to navigate the license and driving aspects of your NJ DWI case. That means dealing with an even more crowded system: The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission DUI Point System. You need a lawyer who regularly handles New Jersey DWI licenses suspension issues, and knows how to navigate the system for you. This includes a working understanding of New Jersey Implied Consent law, and the law regarding ignition interlock devices in New Jersey.

Evan Levow in his own words
"My practice is 100% DUI DWI defense litigation. Clients don't hire me to hold their hands and plead them guilty. Clients hire me and my law firm to thoroughly assess their case and evaluate all relevant defenses, and then to fight for their rights to seek the best possible results under the circumstances. I am a DWI trial attorney. I prepare cases as if they are going to trial. I always attempt to work out cases without a trial where that is in the client's best interest, and take cases to trial where clients are not satisfied with the resolution offered pre-trial."
