A.
Law Office Of Bartholomew Baffuto-- New Jersey’s Top
DWI Attorney
A-4. We Do Not Give Up
The New Jersey administrative rule is that the DWI cases be
resolved within sixty (60) days. When you are a defendant, time
is your friend. That means, as more time goes by, the case often
becomes more favorable for you. The police officer who arrested
you may have dimmer memory about your arrest. The cases incoming
to the court may be overwhelming to the prosecutor. I do not
believe in pleading clients guilty quickly. I usually
fight more than six (6) months for my DWI cases. Unless
there is a compelling reason (exposure on criminal charges from
a motor vehicle accident, e.g.), I do not advise my clients to
plead guilty. I fight. I do not tell my clients to plead guilty
unless there is a good strategic reason to do so (the client
faces jail exposure if we try the case, etc.).
It is usual for me to fight
a DWI case over a year. I often go back to court many times
on the same case.
When I have to
go back to court so many times, as you would imagine, my office’s
short-term business interest apparently gets hurt. My resources
are limited just like yours. But I want to emphasize that I
DO NOT RUSH TO CLOSE THE CASE BY PLEADING MY CLIENTS GUILTY.
I defend cases so as to give my clients the best chance, and
that has become my reputation. If you want to fight for your
rights, you need an attorney who has patience, skills, great
knowledge and experience. I am sure that I can be of help.
