Since it is illegal to plea bargain DWI cases in New Jersey, do I really need a lawyer?

Yes, although it is illegal to plea bargain drunk driving cases in New Jersey, an experienced criminal defense lawyer can isolate a significant issue with regard to the State’s ability to prove their case. As a result of the State’s inability to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt, the charge may be downgraded or dismissed depending on the severity of the defect.
