    Default Reckless Driving in New Jersey

    Saturday morning around 1AM I was going around corners and a blind corner got me. I got into an accident luckily it was just with some trees. Cops came and I told them my story, they asked me if I was drinking and I said no, they gave me the alchohol test anyway, walk a straight line. Then they asked me why my left eye was soo bloodshot at the time I thought it was my allergies but now I know I got a scratched cornea and have medical documention. They let me go over to a tree. 10 minutes later they came back and put handcuffs on me and said they found some mary juana on my passenger seat and when the last time I smoked up was I said never and they could run blood tests. they throw me into the back seat of the squad car. 10 minutes later they came and got me out and said the Mary J was a little old so they are inclined to believe me. They gave me a reckless driving ticket and said the Mary J would be in the report.

    Do you think i should get an attorney? How much do attorneys usually cost and how much do they usually lower the charge by?

    Thank you

    Personally, I would want to consult a lawyer about possibly getting the charge reduced or dismissed as part of a plea bargain.

    If you wish to know what local lawyers will charge, you should call a few and ask.

    Default Re: Reckless Driving in NJ

    I just got the police report and it doesn't say anything about mary j. I think they just tried to get me to confess to something I don't do but it didn't work since I've never done it. The police report just says I was cruising at high speeds with summer tires on and it was a chilly night. I think I can get this dropped to careless or something by myself without an attorney. Thank you for your help
