Three Core Practice Areas The Law Office of Stephen Jones, Esq. website organizes the firm’s work into three main categories and explains each clearly.

DUI and DWI Defense As a dedicated DUI lawyer and DWI lawyer, Jones challenges breath test results, field sobriety evidence, and refusal to provide a breath sample charges. Whether you need a DUI defense attorney to protect your license or a DWI attorney to safeguard your record, this driving while intoxicated lawyer will work to keep you out of jail. His experience as a DUI criminal defense lawyer means you can rest assured that no detail gets overlooked.

Traffic Violations Drivers across the state turn to Traffic Violation Lawyer Stephen Jones for defense against serious charges like reckless driving, driving while suspended, and excessive speeding.

Criminal Defense As a criminal law attorney, Stephen Jones represents people accused of shoplifting, drug possession, disorderly persons offenses, and other charges heard in municipal and Superior Courts. He treats each case with the seriousness it deserves.

Across all three areas, Stephen’s mission is the same: to protect your freedom, driving privileges, and permanent record whenever possible.

Serving Clients Statewide While his law firm centers its practice in Middlesex County, Jones represents clients throughout New Jersey, including Monmouth, Union, Somerset, Mercer, and Essex Counties. He travels wherever a client’s case is heard. His statewide flexibility means that regardless of where you live in New Jersey, you can access an experienced defense attorney.

Take the First Step Today A single charge can threaten your driver’s license, your job, and your freedom, but one mistake doesn’t have to define your future. Attorney Stephen Jones’ new website makes it easier than ever to contact a criminal defense lawyer who will stand beside you.
