Listen boy... I don't know a whole lot about law's ... hence me not being a lawyer ... just like you! You act like you know what your talking about ALL THE TIME!!! but it just lets your ignorance bleed through! I can fully admit what I do not know and where my weakness are. But I'm glad you can't, its quite entertaining. Now teach me and everyone else here a lesson.
Its better to have an opinion even if its wrong than no opinion and be a mindless bafoon like yourself.

If your trying to get some where in life a good lawyer or two or three are needed in so many situations. Buying houses,starting a business ,bui DUI,the list goes on and on. Lawyers when you need one can make the difference when **** hits the fan. It's a fukk or be fukked world we live in. The guy without the lawyer is usually the one bent over crying like a whore!

No, sorry I should been more descriptive. The client/defendant was on Probation for drug offenses and caught a new distribution charge while on Probation. He was sentenced to three years, and three years really minimized the damage.
In New Jersey a third conviction for BUI or DUI the convicted person will serve 180 days in the county jail. It does get serious. But I am very good at what I do, so there are a few "technicalities" I can use if the facts fit on the prior DUI conviction which could keep the defendant out of jail even if found guilty on the new thrid offense charge.
I am being a smart ass with the use of the word technicalities, it is knowing the correct application of the law (case law) for the situation.

I've always thought the best advice was this. If you get into a situation where you've had too much to drink, park it and call a cab. If on the water, well you just shouldn't have done it in the first place. Anchor or keep it docked.
Chit happens, but you should learn from it.
Have any of the lawyers looked through this law to see if it fits the thread title?

Nope higher than that. I know what your getting at. And I think the divide is your a lawyer, I'm in the enforcement arena. Laywers jobs are to pick apart the law to find small mistakes that the justice system made or to confuse a jury on what the law or case really is. Enforcements job is to enforce the law how they sometimes interpret the law, sometimes they do bad and sometimes do good. Theres just a lot of big talk in here and everything I've see is you dont get away with it, and the ones that do SPEND big money.
A peice of advice for you all out there your best defense is silence. Most of the time COPS do not have evidence on you they talk you into telling the whole story. You dont know how many times in court Ive seen defendants come in and the COPS didnt have anything on them, and the defendents talking themselves into a conviction. Personally on a lot of things dont waste your time on a lawyer, if and when you get arrested dont say anything, but dont be a pain in the ace either. Get to court plead the fifth, the burden of proof on the prosecution.

At times it's better to take a step back instead of stepping it up a notch each time. That is something you will learn with maturity.
Be safe and enjoy your summer!

Whatever. He who has himself as a lawyer has a fool for a client.
Also, I wasn't being dismissive or derogatory towards MP's. Just like any other occupation, there are good and bad. So what is your job? (PS - if you give the "top secret, national security" answer, these dudes are never gonna let you live it down.
