If your spouse has been arrested for a DWI, you might be feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next. At Goldstein & Handwerker, we understand the stress and confusion that comes with such a situation. Here's how you can help your spouse navigate this difficult time.

First, it's important to stay calm and reassure your spouse that things will be okay. They are likely experiencing a mix of emotions, including regret and anxiety. Your support can make a significant difference.

Once your spouse is released, your next step is to find a competent DWI lawyer. The legal process can be complex, and having experienced representation is crucial. In New Jersey, a DWI is not a crime unless accompanied by another offense, but it still requires a future court appearance.

In the meantime, help your spouse by recreating the events of the night in a supportive and non-accusatory way. This can provide valuable information for the lawyer. It's also beneficial for you to be involved in the legal process, offering emotional support and assistance throughout.

If you receive that late-night call, don't panic. Pick up your spouse, and the next day, contact Goldstein & Handwerker. Our team is here to guide you through the process and provide the support you need. Visit our website or call us at (973) 912-0555 for more information and resources on handling a DWI.
