i'm not sure how it works in NY/NJ...but i used to live in Dallas and the Dallas Bar Association had an attorney referral service. You call, they ask what kind of attorney you need (criminal, labor, family, etc.) and then they refer you to an attorney that you can speak to. It was like $20 for 30 minutes and if you decide to retain the attorney after that 30 minutes of course you'd pay out your ass.....but if you just need some legal advice & want a consultation, this is a good way to go....so, in short, call the the bar association in your neighborhood...or wherever you got the DWI.....they can probably help...... ciao!
