DUI/DWI

Our principal attorney, Anthony J. Murgatroyd is an effective New Jersey DWI attorney. We know the stakes are high in DUI/DWI cases—you may lose your license, go to jail, pay a large fine, and be required to lose work time to attend classes. We investigate police procedures, the evidence chain, and the administration of field sobriety tests and other tests for blood alcohol content (BAC). We make sure the officer had probable cause to stop you. In short, we ensure that the case against you is valid. If it is not, we will fight for you in municipal court.

Traffic Violations

We help people with speeding tickets, careless or reckless driving, driving while your license is suspended, failure to stop, failure to signal a turn, illegal U-turns, and all other traffic cases in municipal court.

In New Jersey, most motor vehicle offenses either carry points or a suspension of your driving privileges or both. These points could result in surcharges from the motor vehicle commission and/or your insurance company. If you are charged with any moving violation, contact the Law Offices of Anthony J. Murgatroyd. We can help you avoid points and driver’s license suspensions.

The State of New Jersey permits attorneys to engage in plea bargaining with the municipal court prosecutors to reduce points and/or limit driving license suspensions. You should think twice before paying your ticket and accepting the penalties associated with that ticket. Discuss your case with a qualified and experienced attorney who specializes in municipal court cases.

Below is a list of the various types of moving violations in NJ which carry points if you are found guilty.

Points are very important. For a total of 12 or more points, the motor vehicle commission will issue a notice of scheduled suspension of your driving privileges. We are often able to reduce the points you could receive to ZERO points. If you have been to municipal court recently, you may have heard of a new statute that permits a person to plead guilty without having any points assessed against their driving record.
