Firm Information
Overview
At William Proetta Criminal Law, we provide focused, strategic criminal defense representation for clients in Jersey City and throughout Hudson County, New Jersey. Our practice is built around protecting your rights, your record and your future when you are facing charges that can affect your freedom, finances and reputation.
We primarily handle criminal defense matters, with a strong emphasis on DUI/DWI defense and traffic tickets and violations. Whether you have been charged with driving while intoxicated, refusal to submit to a breath test, reckless driving, speeding, suspended license or other motor vehicle offenses, we approach every case with careful preparation and a clear plan. We understand that even “routine” traffic matters can carry serious consequences, including license suspension, surcharges, points, increased insurance costs and potential jail exposure in certain cases.
In criminal cases, we represent clients facing a wide range of charges, from disorderly persons offenses to indictable crimes. We evaluate the evidence, identify legal and factual defenses, and challenge improper stops, searches and testing procedures when warranted. Our goal is always to achieve our clients’ goals, be it a dismissal, a positive trial outcome or reduction of charges.
We pride ourselves on responsive communication and straightforward guidance. From the first consultation through court appearances and negotiations, we keep you informed and prepared, explaining your options in a way that you can understand all the details, and advocating for you with professionalism and confidence.
If you are dealing with a DUI/DWI, traffic ticket or criminal charge in Jersey City, we are ready to stand between you and the system, and to fight for the result you need.
