Finding The Right DUI Lawyer

Kevin Spade2021-06-18T23:25:44+00:00Being accused of driving under the influence of alcohol or any illegal substances is very serious for pretty much anyone. Even if it is your first time DUI offense and it is deemed as a Class B misdemeanor, you will still have to face some serious legal consequences. After all, you can easily lose your driving privileges (your license will be taken from you by the arresting officer on the scene) and have to pay expensive fines (thousands of dollars from your pocket). The judge may also find it necessary for you to attend mandatory alcohol or drug awareness classes (you will have to pay for those from your own pocket) or perform community service (meaning hundreds of hours of unpaid labor). Sure enough, most of us will do our best to avoid such harsh penalties. If that is the case, the best course of action would be to come...

What Are The DUI Infractions?

Kevin Spade2021-06-18T23:25:59+00:00DUI stands for driving under the influence of alcohol. However, it does not solely include driving under the influence of alcohol – illegal substances such as drugs may also intoxicate a person and have a huge influence on his driving. DUI and drunk driving is not necessarily the same thing. With that said, due to a significant rise in DUI accidents all over the nation, it is only natural that the law enforcement authorities tend to do their best in order to apprehend and punish offenders. So how does it work? It is fairly simple – if a person was pulled over at a DUI checkpoint, because law enforcement officers had reasons to believe that he or she was driving under the influence, that person will be asked to submit him or herself to field sobriety tests. However, this may not be enough, so the individual may be asked to...

Yet Another DUI Accident: A Police Officer Injured

Kevin Spade2021-06-18T23:26:09+00:00According to Sacramento DUI attorney, the official statistical data clearly demonstrates that DUI accidents are becoming more and more frequent – thousands of people are injured or even killed in those accidents on a year to year basis. A relatively recent accident clearly illustrates why law enforcement authorities are so concerned with this issue and why they are doing their best to make sure that DUI offenders are apprehended and punished properly. Not so long ago a police officer along with a civilian person was hospitalized with minor injuries because of actions of an intoxicated driver. Everything could go very wrong, but luckily no one died. The law enforcement officer stopped his vehicle on the side of the road, since he noticed that a civilian is trying to deal with a flat tire. He offered his assistance and together they were dealing with this problem just fine up until a pickup truck...

Underage Driver commits a DUI Accident: Kills Four And Injures Nine

Kevin Spade2021-06-18T23:26:22+00:00Getting behind the wheel while being under the influence of alcohol or any kind of illegal substance is not a very good idea indeed. After all, you are not only endangering yourself and your passengers – you are becoming a genuine threat for other drivers, their passengers and pedestrians. Unfortunately, people commit DUI crimes every single day and some of those offenses are truly horrifying. For instance, a recent tragedy demonstrates just how dangerous drunk driving can be. A 16 year old driver in Texas recently killed 4 people and injured nine others in a devastating DUI accident. The story is truly terrible – a church vehicle stopped to help a woman deal with her flat tire. Another woman was helping her with the tire, the pastor along with a mother and daughter from his church stood nearby. Their church vehicle was hit by the underage driver, who was driving at...
