If you’re really cutting corners and can’t find a cheap lawyer, you may need to take some risks. Still, even though you don’t absolutely need a New Jersey DWI attorney in the cases below, it would probably be bad news if you didn’t get one, and it’s heavily advised. As in all cases, before you decide to take the risk, you should schedule a consulation with a lawyer and talk about your case for a bit.

You most likely need a New Jersey DWI attorney if…

• if this is the second time you’ve been caught driving while intoxicated, even if you were absolved the last time, then it’s very possible that a NJ DWI lawyer should be on your list of people to hire.
• if you had a very high BAC when you were pulled over–around twice the normal amount which could get you hit with a DWI–then the consequences are much harsher and you really need a lawyer.
• if you had someone under the age of 18 in the car with you when you were pulled over, then the consequences are usually the same as if your BAC is double the legal limit, and so you probably need a lawyer.
