Here's How To Get A Free Consultation To Find Out
How You May Be Able To Beat Your DUI

Even though you've been arrested for DUI, you don't have to let it ruin your life. You may not realize it yet, but if you are thinking about simply going to court and pleading guilty to your DUI charge you may be cheating yourself.

You see, a qualified attorney can review the case for defects, suppress evidence, compel discovery of such things as calibration and maintenance records for the breath machine, have blood samples independently analyzed, obtain expert witnesses ­ all of which may help you to win your case at trial.

To find out what you need to know about your DUI arrest I've developed a website to give you a wealth of useful information . . . information which will show you how you may be able to save your license and your freedom . . . and possibly avoid fines, fees, and sharply increased car insurance costs of as much as $6,800.

For the most part, my easy-to-navigate site has information on it which you can't get anywhere else unless you are willing to do a great deal of legal research.

When you're on my site, you'll also learn how you can get a free, no-obligation consultation where I'll review your case and show you how I may be able to save your license and your freedom.

• Jack Diamond: A public way is any road or way which is typically maintained by a Public Works Department or Highway Department and to which the public has right of access to operate their vehicle. Parking lots and private ways to which the public has access as an invitee are also characterized as public ways for the purposes of the OUI charge. It is not necessary that you be operating behind the wheel of your car and actually driving for the prosecutor to prove that you are operating your vehicle. Sitting in the driver's seat parked with the engine running is sufficient to satisfy this element. Additionally, parking your car at the side of the road and turning the vehicle off but leaving the keys in the ignition is sufficient to prove the element of operation. The element of this charge that is typically in contest is whether an operator has consumed an amount of alcohol sufficient to impair his or her ability to operate their vehicle safely. It is not the prosecutor's burden to prove that the operator is drunk or that the operator was driving his car in an erratic fashion. All that is required of the prosecutor is that he prove that the operator has consumed some alcohol and the consumption has diminished the person's ability to operate a vehicle safely.
