Being arrested for DWI has likely left you feeling shocked, ashamed, and nervous. Most clients feel anxious about the court process, the range of penalties, including license loss, their ability to work and care for their family, increased insurance rates, and (in some cases) jail.
Greggory M. Marootian, Esq., is a New Jersey DWI Specialist, not a general practitioner, not a proverbial “jack of all trades.” His practice specialty is NJ DWI Defense and related offenses. Mr. Marootian is Certified by the New Jersey Supreme Court as a Municipal Court Attorney, a designated NJ DWI Specialist. He is one of only 32 of the approximately 40,000 licensed lawyers in NJ recognized by New Jersey Courts as a Certified Municipal Court Attorney.
Mr. Marootian received his B.A. in Psychology (Magna Cum Laude) in 1987 from Fairleigh Dickinson University, where he was a member of the National Honor Society in Psychology. In 1986, as an undergraduate, Mr. Marootian attended Harvard University (Summer Program) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he studied the Interaction between Law & Psychology. He received his Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree in 1990 from Seton Hall University School of Law.
Mr. Marootian is National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) trained in DWI detection and the administration of standardized field sobriety tests. He is further qualified as a DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing Instructor, having undergone extensive training endorsed by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Mr. Marootian is a leading DWI expert in New Jersey. He is a frequent lecturer on New Jersey DWI defense for New Jersey lawyers and judges, and is frequently consulted by other lawyers and courts regarding New Jersey DWI law.
New Jersey DWI defense is exceptionally complex and specialized. If you needed heart surgery, would you go to a general surgeon who performs a few heart surgeries a year or a heart surgeon? You would want a dedicated, experienced heart surgeon whose practice specializes in heart surgery. You would want and expect a surgeon who performs heart surgeries day in and day out, knows how to react to unexpected complications, and is committed to being on the front line of the field to give you the best chance of a favorable outcome.
Mr. Marootian is a respected, highly qualified, competent advocate and NJ DWI specialist. No ethical attorney can guarantee or predict the outcome of a case. Mr. Marootian can, however, ensure that your case will be thoroughly and professionally handled and defended. He will ensure that you or your loved one will be treated fairly and with respect.
Focusing my practice on DWI defense has, I believe, provided my clients with a distinct edge, an edge that can mean the difference in the outcome of a NJ DWI case. I aim to provide personal, compassionate, professional, and thorough representation. I strive to treat each client as I would want my family members or myself to be treated.
Lawyers are trained to be objective and detached. While technical expertise is critical, lawyers represent people; they do not merely handle a case or represent a client. A lawyer’s moral obligation to a client extends from providing excellent legal representation to caring for the person, the human being that the lawyer is entrusted to represent.
I take an empathetic, human-centered view of the practice of law and of my clients. My background in psychology allows me to see and understand what is often a unique interaction between a client’s emotional condition and the DWI charge. You might suffer from and be struggling with a psychological condition that co-exists with alcohol or drug dependence. You might have a background of psycho-emotional trauma. You might be coping with a unique and stressful life event like relationship or family conflict, divorce, or the loss or illness of a loved one. There may be other personal and human issues that have contributed to your DWI charge.
Please feel free to contact me if you want to discuss your NJ DWI charge through a non-judgmental, straightforward consultation and assessment, not a cheap, high-pressure sales pitch. Call my office (973-994-3732), call me directly on my cell phone (201-404-8990), email me (gmmesq@aim.com), or text me (201-404-8990). I am available on weekends and after hours for your convenience.
