Practice Areas Description

-DWI Penalties

If you have been charged with driving while intoxicated (DWI) in New Jersey, you could be facing a license suspension, possible jail time, an ignition interlock requirement, fines and other serious penalties, even if you have a good driving record. Depending on the facts of your case, you may even be subject to a potential jail sentence.


-Alcotest Refusal Defense

If you have been pulled over and arrested on suspicion of drunk driving in New Jersey, the police probably asked you to take a breath test on the Alcotest machine. This machine measures the amount of alcohol in your breath sample which equates to the level of alcohol in your bloodstream.


-Drunk Driving Accident Defense

Any time you are accused of causing an auto accident with injuries, there is a chance that you will be charged with a crime in addition to traffic tickets you may be facing. If there is evidence that you were driving drunk, you are much more likely to face criminal charges.


-BWI Defense

In New Jersey, it is illegal to operate a boat under the influence of alcohol. If you have been charged with boating while intoxicated (BWI), you could be facing serious consequences, including loss of your driver's license and boating license, fines, mandatory alcohol classes and possibly even a prison sentence. I am John W. Tumelty, a Jersey Shore BWI defense lawyer with more than 25 years of criminal and traffic law experience. I defend clients from Atlantic City to Cape May against charges of boating while intoxicated.


-Underage DWI Defense

Studies have shown that young people who drink and drive are much more likely to cause serious accidents, even if they do not have very much alcohol in their bloodstreams. In response, New Jersey and other states have created special penalties for underage DWI.


-DWI Roadblocks

If you have been pulled over at a roadblock and charged with DWI, you have a right to determine whether the checkpoint was set up legally. If not, it may be possible to get your charges thrown out. An experienced attorney can make sure your case is fully investigated.


-Breath Test Refusal

If the police have accused you of refusing to blow into the Alcotest machine during or after a DWI traffic stop, you may end up getting charged with breath test refusal, a traffic offense that can result in license suspension and other serious penalties.
