Comment on HELP in selecting DUI LAWYER in PENNSYLVANIA (Philly Suburbs)? by q S

You may have to bring in a DUID Specialty attorney from Philly. You don’t want a generic attorney who dabbles in a couple of different kinds of crime. The attorney website will state that all they do is DUI defense. Budget around $10,000 for your defense and jury trial. You don’t necessarily have to hire an attorney – especially for a first offense. The prosecution typically allows the person to plea guilty to a lesser charge as opposed to a full blown DUI.

Unfortunately the fact the the medication was prescribed and used as directed, means nothing to your defense. It is absolutely against the law to drive when your judgement is impaired by any substance – legal or illegal.

The crux of the court case will be how well she performed on the field sobriety tests. The police officer most likely asked her to perform the three standardized tests (nystagmus, 9 step walk and turn and one leg stand). The officer also needed to fill out a work sheet with about 60 different observations about how she reacted and responded. The officer’s case is bolstered if she later went to a drug recognition expert (DRE) for a second and much more through evaluation.

Generally speaking, you cannot meet the "good moral character" requirement if among other things, you are currently on probation or you were convicted of an offense within five years of the time you apply for naturalization. With this in mind, if you are currently on 3-year probation and you were convicted of a DUI less than 5 years ago, you are likely to have your petition denied. Felonies in general, regardless of type of offense, are consider big red flags so if your DUI conviction is a felony instead of a misdemeanor, it will be worst for your case. Your best chances at being granted citizenship is to complete your probation period successfully, live a law-abiding life away from trouble for the next five years and apply then. The final decision, despite your past, is up to the USCIS officer granting or denying your application.

Comment on Is this a legit way to dodge a DUI? by ornery and mean

Nope, won’t work. In addition to the breathalyzer test the officer probably has dash cam footage to back up his reasonable suspicion that you were intoxicated at the wheel. Just the officer’s testimony would be enough to gain a conviction in most cases, but with dash cam footage and testimony that you (obviously) had an open container of alcohol in the vehicle … a first year law student could argue the case for the prosecution and get a conviction

Then there are the charges for crimes you committed in front of the officer! Open container in a vehicle, consuming alcohol where prohibited, public intoxication, tampering with evidence, and so on!

Just digs that hole a lot deeper!

Go ahead and try it! You will not like the result.

It is truly amazing that your friends have devised such a talented legal strategy.

I know that you are completely incapable of following the rules or taking responsibilities for your actions.

I have made many many many DUI arrests. It is a common tactic to claim in court that the drunken driver was "accidentally" intoxicated or didn’t realize he/she had too much to drink. It would be an interesting twist for you to claim to the court that you intentionally intoxicated yourself to disrupt the legal process and obstruct the officer’s investigation.

How many ounces of alcohol could you consume in one drink. The alcohol actually enters your systems and exits the system in a scientifically measurable rate. If I was the officer, instead of performing one breath or blood test, I would require three blood tests spaced 30 minutes apart. This is what we do for a felony drunk when they are accused of killing or seriously injuring someone in a crash. With the three separate tests, I can prove in court exactly what your blood alcohol was at the time of stop.

Hope this helps

Comment on power of attorney part 2? by James

James — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 00:19:47 +0000

I’m unsure of exactly what you are suggesting, but a power of attorney, as long as it meets the requirements for such in the state in which you want to use it, will be valid regardless of where it is signed and notarized. However, a minor cannot sign a power of attorney for herself, only her legal guardian can.

Comment on How does my attorney benefit from me not claiming my personal representative fee in probate? by bcnu

You have a serious problem if you cannot trust you own attorneys to protect your best interest. If you do what they say and it turns out they were wrong (resulting in some financial loss to you), or they did it for more money, you can sue them and possibly have them disbarred. Why would they want to do that to themselves?

If you believe your attorney has a potential conflict of interest that makes you uncomfortable, by all means discuss it with your attorney, if not (yet) another attorney who is well-versed in the regulatory rules.

From what little exposure I have had to PR fees, they are calculated or limited according to the size of the "gross estate", i.e., how much value was in the estate, regardless of where the money came from or went to. Under Florida Statutes, FLSA 733,6171, the probate attorney fee for "ordinary expenses" would be 2.5 (two and a half) percent of an estate between $1M and $3, and less for larger estates. The law also allows for a "different" agreement, for "reasonable compensation" for the attorneys.
