. . .Now Will You Take the Test?
Defending a DWI Refusal Case

September 7, 2010
5:30 PM to 8:00
The Essex House
525 Northfield Ave
West Orange, NJ

Refusals are very much still in play. In DWI law today, there is no more hotly debated topic than how to defend a DWI refusal case in the aftermath of recent decisions that upended the process.

This seminar - aimed at defense attorneys - analyzes the ins-and-outs of defending a client charged with refusal in an Alcotest case. Refusals can occur for a myriad of different reasons - some due to the behavior of the machine, some due to the behavior of the defendant or police officer, and often a mixture of all of the above.

Delicious Plated Dinner Served!
