Happy 4th of July! Stay Free and Out of Jail

Written By Joseph Horn

From all of us at the Law Offices of Joseph M. Horn, we wish you a safe and joyful Fourth of July weekend! As we celebrate American pride, independence, and the freedoms we all enjoy, here’s a friendly reminder: nothing ruins a fireworks show faster than blue and red lights behind your car.

Every year, people find themselves in legal trouble over the holiday—whether it’s DWI/DUI, disorderly conduct, domestic violence, assault, or drug charges. That’s where we come in. We’re your shield when trouble finds you.

Here are simple tips to stay safe and free:

  • Don’t drink and drive. Period. Call a rideshare. Use a DD. Avoid a night in jail—and a permanent record.

  • Keep it cool. Fireworks and family don’t mix well with alcohol-fueled arguments. Walk away instead of escalating.

  • Don’t carry illegal substances. Police presence increases on holiday weekends. Know your rights and keep your record clean.

  • Respect curfews and local laws. Especially for young adults—don’t get caught up in the moment.

If the worst happens and you find yourself arrested or charged, don’t panic. Call a trusted criminal defense lawyer who knows how to handle DUI, drug possession, domestic charges, traffic tickets, and more. We serve Mahwah, Ramsey, and all of New Jersey and New York.

Celebrate freedom wisely. Know your rights. And if needed—call the team who defends yours.
