Focused on Protecting Your Rights

It is often confusing or frightening after an arrest. A police officer may wrongfully intimidate you into saying things following an arrest that could harm your case. The police may misinform you or scare you by overstepping their boundaries and violate your legal rights. It is vital to your case to contact a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible after an arrest.


Solid preparation is key to protecting your rights. Whether you are facing a misdemeanor charge or felony allegations, or whether you suspect you may be under investigation for suspicion of committing a crime, The Law Offices of Salvatore Bellomo LLC is dedicated to achieving fair and just results for your case.

If you are convicted, New Jersey drunk driving laws impose harsh penalties for even first-time offenders. Convictions can include high fines, three-month driver’s license suspension, 30 days in jail, and other penalties. Penalties increase if:


  • You were driving with a minor in your car
  • You refused to submit to a breath test
  • You have an open container in the car
  • You were tagged in a school zone
  • You were charged for a second, third or more drunk driving offense


The judge can order the revocation of your car’s registration or require you to install an ignition interlock device to measure your blood alcohol level.
