DWI / Traffic Defense
DWI charges are some of the most complex and costly charges a person can face. Penalties for conviction can include jail, license suspension, the installation of an interlock device, fines, loss of your insurance policy, loss of a professional license, inability to travel to other countries, loss of the ability to re-enter the United States, loss of a commercial driver’s license, thousands of dollars in surcharges, and many other collateral consequences. A conviction for DWI cannot be expunged, it remains on your record forever, and could impact your ability to obtain employment, insurance, and travel for years after your sentence has concluded.
Fortunately, there are defenses to DWI and Refusal charges and Reinitz Law knows how to interpret the facts and utilize the law to ensure that what matters most to you is protected. We know how and when to challenge the evidence, negotiate with the prosecutor, , and, when necessary, go to trial. The firm’s reputation throughout the State of New Jersey as a leader in interpreting and practicing DWI law allows us to get the personalized results our clients need when facing DWI charges.
As a former municipal prosecutor and current municipal public defender, Josh Reinitz understands all sides of every traffic offense and has represented clients facing everything from speeding over 100 miles per hour to delaying traffic and everything in between. Josh regularly teaches courses to other attorneys on how to handle traffic offenses, especially navigating Driving While Suspended or Leaving the Scene of an Accident charges, which can both lead to loss of driving privileges. The firm has proven strategies to address these charges and deliver the outcomes our clients need to maintain their ability to drive. Let us put those strategies to work for you.
Appellate Law
If the verdict was wrong, the fight isn’t over. Josh Reinitz has overturned a variety of criminal convictions on direct appeal and post-conviction relief. He has been asked to author briefs for the New Jersey State Bar Association and has argued at the highest levels of New Jersey’s court system. Appeals, post-conviction relief, constitutional challenges—we take them seriously, because they are.
Reinitz Law can help you assess whether your case is worth the cost and effort of an appeal and will guide you through the most likely outcomes of an appeal. Josh has been successful in overturning convictions from both jury and bench trials. He has utilized the appellate system to help multiple individuals avoid jail or prison time and return.
The firm uses a successful method, honed over 20 years of practice, in determining which issues to pursue on appeal and how to frame its arguments. Errors and mistakes are not uncommon during trials, and spotting the issues that matter just by reading transcripts is a skill learned over time. At Reinitz Law, we put that skill to work for you so as to not waste your money, and to ensure that you raise the correct issues calculated to lead to a reversal of the prior conviction.
