DUI Lawyers Do Help
Author: Maria Palma
I know that there are many people out there who think that DUI lawyers (or any lawyer, for that matter) are just after the money. There's this belief that lawyers don't care whether someone is guilty or not - as long as they can pay for the bill, well, that's all that matters. Many DUI lawyers in particular face criticism from people because they're defending people who have been drunk driving. After all, they were arrested, so they're automatically guilty, right?
Wrong.
Just because an alleged drunk driver took a breathalyzer test and the result showed that their blood alcohol content was above the legal limit, that doesn't automatically mean they've lost their case.
What people don't realize is that there are so many things to be investigated in a drunk driving case. Mistakes could have been made.
Isn't it possible that the breathalyzer machine wasn't properly maintained...therefore registering inaccurate measurements?
Isn't it possible that the alleged offender has a medical or health issue that may cause them to drive as if he/she is drunk?
Isn't it possible that the officer(s) who made the arrest are corrupt...or were not properly trained to make a DUI arrest?
As you can see, there are many questions that come up in a DUI case. We can't be quick to judge people until everything has been taken into consideration. We have to remember that lawyers are there to make sure law enforcement does their job right and to make sure that you get a fair trial.
If you've been arrested for drunk driving and feel that you are innocent, make sure to contact a lawyer who specializes in drunk driving cases to help you.

Second Marijuana Offense in Maryland?
In June of 2008 I was pulled over and my car was searched and marijuana was found. I never received a court date. In November of 2008 I received a DUI with possession of marijuana. For that I was sentenced to 30 days in jail and 2 years of supervised probation. It is now May 2009 and I have just received a court summons for possession in June 2008. Since my DUI I have completed a 26-week drug and alcohol abuse program and have never had a dirty urinalysis for my probation officer. Since this is my second offense, yet I have completed a drug and alcohol abuse program and abstained from drug use for probation, what do you think the outcome of my trial will be?
I know I am guilty and will most likely plead guilty, but what could my sentence be?
My first offense was for 1.5 grams and my second is for .5 grams.

North Carolina DUI Lawyers Driving While Impaired Laws Charlotte County Private Property NC 20-4.01(32)
Author: Atchuthan Sriskandarajah
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA v. WALTER BOBBY TURNER, JR.
COURT OF APPEALS OF NORTH CAROLINA
December 20, 1994, Filed
When defendant returned to his mobile home, he encountered an officer of the Charlotte Police Department, who asked defendant whether he had been drinking. Defendant responded affirmatively. The officer placed defendant under arrest and transported him to the intake center. Defendant subsequently registered a blood alcohol content reading of .22 on the intoxilyzer machine. Defendant was charged by citation with driving while impaired. From a conviction in district court, he appealed to superior court, where he was found guilty of the offense by a jury. He appeals from a judgment suspending sentence imposed upon the conviction.
Issue:
- Whether the mobile home park in which the defendant drove was private property or a public vehicular area?
- Whether the trail court erred in defendant's conviction for driving while under the influence of an impairing substance?
The Court states that "Any area within the State of North Carolina that is generally open to and used by the public for vehicular traffic, including by way of illustration and not limitation any drive, driveway, road, roadway, street, alley, or parking lot. The term 'public vehicular area' shall also include . . . any road opened to vehicular traffic within or leading to a subdivision for use by subdivision residents, their guests, and members of the public, whether or not the subdivision roads have been offered for dedication to the public. The term 'public vehicular area' shall not be construed to mean any private property not generally open to and used by the public." The evidence shows that Timberline Mobile Home Park is owned by one individual, who has divided the property into lots for lease. The mobile home park thus fits within the foregoing definition of a subdivision. The evidence further shows that the streets are not marked by signs indicating the roads are private or by signs prohibiting trespassing, and that the streets are available for use by residents and their guests or other visitors. We therefore conclude that a jury could find that Ann Elizabeth Drive is a public vehicular area within the meaning of G.S. § 20-4.01(32).
This Court held that the trial court correctly denied defendant's motion to dismiss the charge.
