Woodbridge is the location of the intersection of the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway, which are the two busiest highways in New Jersey. Route 19 and U.S. Route 1 also pass through Woodbridge. It is also where the headquarters of the New Jersey Turnpike Authority is located, as well as one of the largest New Jersey State Police barracks. These factors contribute to Woodbridge being a hot spot for all types of traffic cases, including DWI cases.

If you are charged with DWI under New Jersey law, you do not have a right to a jury trial. You are only entitled to a court trial, in which a judge makes the determination about your guilt or innocence. Unlike other states, New Jersey does not allow plea deals for DWI offenses. Woodbridge has three presiding judges who oversee cases held in Woodbridge Municipal Court, which is one of the busiest courts in the state. Our Woodbridge DWI attorneys have represented many drivers there. The courthouse is located at 1 Main Street, and it holds office hours on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with extended hours on Tuesdays. A DWI case will be heard in one of the court sessions, which occur Monday through Friday at 8:45 a.m., Monday through Thursday at 6:45 p.m., and Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at 1 p.m.

Although DWI is a traffic offense rather than a criminal charge in New Jersey, it has a "quasi-criminal" status in the courts, and convictions can carry severe penalties. Drivers with a prior DWI conviction face harsher penalties for a second or third offense. For a third or later conviction, for example, there is a mandatory 180-day jail sentence. Because of the seriousness of these consequences, you should get a legal advocate on your side to give you a better chance at getting your life back on track with minimal disruption.
