Westfield New Jersey has an active downtown with many restaurants and bars which contribute to a high amount of DWI charges. Not surprisingly, many of those charged with DUI are caught while driving along North Avenue and South Avenue, the primary roadways to the business district. Irrespective of your being arrested in this context, while attempting to get home from the Westfield train station after drinking in New York City or any other scenario, a skilled DWI attorney will be your best weapon for avoiding serious drunk driving penalties. There are many reasons for this statement including the fact that political favor is not something that will help you in this area of defense as plea bargaining is prohibited. The lawyer you hire will have to possess the tools to persuade the judge in Westfield that the case against you is fatally defective otherwise there is no way for the ticket or summons to be dismissed.
