DUI Lawyers in Chicago, New York and Los Angeles

Car accident due to DUI will require an accident lawyer. When searching for a car accident lawyer, it is best to ask around and get references from your friends and relatives who may know a good accident lawyer. A good car accident attorney can save you a lot of headache especially if your car accident occurred as a result of drunk driving. When you are at fault, it is best to seek a good DUI lawyer in your area who specializes in DUI cases. My DUI attorney who went to court for me was a personal friend. Lucky me, I did not have a car accident, otherwise, I’d have a lot of work for my attorney. In fact, I also got lucky because my DUI attorney was a personal injury attorney at the same time. In fact, he recently won a wrongful death case, so my personal injury attorney assuming a DUI attorney’s position in my case is also a wrongful death attorney.

If you live in a big city, such as Chicago, New York, or Los Angeles, chances are you know someone who knows an accident attorney, has a personal reference to a car accident attorney, or a DUI attorney. DUI attorney is your council who represents you in criminal court, so DUI is considered a criminal offence and thus you will need a criminal attorney AKA criminal defense attorney. In Los Angeles the number of DUI offences is great. Los Angeles is a big city with lots of drivers. You can’t get around without driving. There is rarely any public transit in Los Angeles, and thus DUI offences in Los Angeles are frequent. Los Angeles DUI attorneys are not cheap but are well worth the money. In fact, Los Angeles lawyers are some of the highest paid lawyers in the country. So, if you are out of luck and are caught driving drunk on the public road in LA, be prepared to pay the top dollar for your DUI criminal defense.

Drunk Driving On a First Date; DUI Doesn’t Get You Laid

My DUI program required watching videos about drunk driving, drunk drivers and real people telling real stories about their drunk driving experiences. I remember a sweet young woman at the hospital telling the reporter the story about how she ended up at the hospital.

She was out on a first date. She and her date were at a bar where they had a couple of drinks. After all it was a Friday night and neither had to go to work the next day. After the bar they decided to go to a dance club. They danced and drank late into the night and as the club closed its doors they proceeded to the parking lot. She insisted on taking a cab, but her date convinced her that he wasn’t that drunk and since her house was only a few miles down the street, he would be ok to drive.

The young couple was just a few blocks away as the car approached an intersection on high speed. The driver was in a hurry to get back to the woman’s house in the hopes that his drunk buzzed date would let him stay overnight. Driving over the speed limit he crossed the intersection on red and crushed into a UHAUL truck. Both, the driver and the passenger ended up at the hospital instead of the girl’s house. Don’t drink and drive and watch this short funny drunk driving on a date video.

Heather Locklear drunk driving arrest

DUI stories seems to be a favorite topic amongst those who love to gossip about the glamorous life of celebrities. Associated Press reported last week of another DUI incident this time involving Heather Locklear. The actress was arrested on suspicion of DUI in Santa Barbara, an affluent urban S.CA town. As she was leaving a parking lot she was driving odd, erratically stepping on the gas pedal. At the time the arresting police officer noted her car, it was parked on a side of the freeway blocking the road, which triggered the suspicion of the police officer. The actress got out of her car and stumbled into traffic in the middle of the freeway.

The police officer did not recognize the celebrity. He suspected that the female driver was under the influence and took her to the police station where she underwent alcohol and drug test. She was suspected to be under the influence of prescription medications and was booked accordingly.

Luckily there was no accidents and no property damage or injuries have been sustained as a result of the famous actress’ reckless behavior.

According to an unnamed resource Heather Locklear was treated earlier this year in a clinic providing medical services to patients suffering from anxiety and depression.

The photo provided by the arresting authority suggests that the actress must have had one too many drinks even before she got in the driver seat of her car. Smeared mascara and messy heir, as well as a strange stare in her eyes is the evidence of severe intoxication.
