SAM BEAST
I was fortunate to retain Brian to represent me in my divorce case. He was aggressive in court and fought hard for me to protect my relationship with my daughters. This was a bitter and nasty fight but he was more than up to the task. In the end I felt like I won the war.
In my opinion he is a great lawyer and very compassionate, I would recommend to anyone who needs a divorce lawyer.
CLIENT
If you need a great family lawyer I recommend the freeman law center without hesitation. My life was a complete shambles because of the divorce I had to go through I didn’t know that i could feel so bad. The efforts that I received from Brian was outstanding and I can’t put in words how much I appreciated the way I was treated by his staff.
Their slogan “Quality and Commitment” was not just words it was action.

DUI/DWI FAQs
What is the difference between a DUI and a DWI in New Jersey?
In New Jersey, DUI and DWI are used interchangeably to refer to the same offense of operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher, or while under the influence of drugs.
What are the penalties for a first-offense DUI in New Jersey?
Penalties vary based on BAC and can include license suspension, fines, surcharges, jail time, and mandatory attendance at the Intoxicated Driver Resource Center (IDRC).
Can I refuse a breathalyzer test in New Jersey?
New Jersey’s implied consent law means driving on state roads implies consent to a breathalyzer test if an officer has probable cause. Refusing results in a separate offense with severe penalties, including mandatory license suspension.
What are some common defenses in a DUI case?
Common defenses include challenging the validity of the traffic stop, questioning breathalyzer accuracy, arguing improper administration of field sobriety tests, or showing a medical condition affected test results.
How does a DUI conviction affect my driver's license?
A conviction results in mandatory suspension or revocation, with the length depending on whether it’s a first, second, or third offense and your BAC level.
What is the Intoxicated Driver Resource Center (IDRC)?
The IDRC is a mandatory program for anyone convicted of DUI/DWI in New Jersey, involving alcohol and drug screening and an education program. Failure to attend can result in longer suspension and additional fines.
Will I have to go to jail for a DUI in New Jersey?
A first-offense DUI doesn’t typically carry mandatory jail time, though it’s possible. Second and third offenses do carry mandatory jail time.
Do I need a lawyer for my DUI case in Jersey City?
