It’s a terrible idea for someone to try and represent him or herself on a New Jersey DWI charge. There is a lot of expertise that is required to address all of the issues involved in a DWI prosecution. Attorney Kevin Leckerman has spent thousands of hours gaining training and experience in court in order to address these matters appropriately. He’s spent time reviewing the law, the science, and the art of trial tactics in order to put himself in the best position to defend his clients. He also has spent countless hours learning to understand the rules of court, the rules of evidence, the constitutional protections afforded to each defendant, the relevant New Jersey case law, the science behind breath testing, field sobriety testing, urine testing, and drug recognition testing. Unless someone has done the same due diligence, that person is not going to have the best chance of getting the best result in the case.
New Jersey DWI law is a highly technical area that even a general practice attorney wouldn’t be able to handle appropriately. Even for attorneys who are properly trained to handle New Jersey DWI work, this is a very difficult area to address and get a successful result for a client.
