If you've had a recent brush with the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law" rel="wikipedia" title="Law">law</a>, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Not only is the arrest itself bad, but then there are the impending legal happenings that must be dealt with. Whether you're dealing with a felony charge or facing charges for <a href="http://pevetolaw.com/">Class C Misdemeanors</a>, you need the help of a <a href="http://pevetolaw.com/">McKinney Criminal Lawyer</a><b> </b>to make your case turn out for the best.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Many times, a <a href="http://p1lawyer.com/mckinney-defense-attorney">McKinney criminal lawyer</a>, from Peveto Law, will be able to get your charges significantly reduced.

</div><div class="MsoNormal">When you think about charges getting reduced like that, you can see why a “C” would be much better than an “A.” There are times when you want the bare minimum.

Like they say “Sometimes less is more.” that's certainly true when it comes to jail time and fines, so make sure you have an experienced, proven lawyer on your side during your court proceedings.</div><span class="zemanta-img separator zemanta-action-dragged"><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Arrest.svg" style="clear: right; display: block; float: right; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Stylized arrest." height="300" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3d/Arrest.svg/300px-Arrest.svg.png" style="border: medium none; font-size: 0.8em;" width="300" /></a><span class="zemanta-img-attribution" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; width: 300px;">Image via <a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Arrest.svg">Wikipedia</a></span></span><div class="zemanta-related"><h6 class="zemanta-related-title" style="font-size: 1em; margin: 1em 0pt 0pt;">Related articles</h6><ul class="zemanta-article-ul"><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://abovethelaw.com/2011/06/more-about-reema-bajaj-the-lawyer-accused-of-prostitution/">More About Reema Bajaj, the Lawyer Accused of Prostitution</a> (abovethelaw.com)</li>

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Imagine what it would be like not having a license for a minute. How would you get back and forth to work if it was not within walking distance?

So many changes will have to be made in your life, and quite frankly, nobody is really ready to make those changes.

They are serious offenses that are not taken lightly by anyone. Why are they such serious offense you may wonder… Well, the answer is because driving drunk is extremely dangerous. Yes, you have had this drilled into your head since DARE when you were in grade school. Drugs and drinking are bad so we should not do either of them. But there comes a point in your life that you decide that <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinking_culture" rel="wikipedia" title="Drinking culture">social drinking</a> can be fun. Well, that forgot to mention that social drinking can be fun in moderation. Not being able to make a decision about whether or not you can drive is a huge reason. If you think you can drive, but you cannot, this is where most problems arise. People get in accidents where they end up severely hurting or killing other people. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Now, this is not something that happens on purpose, but it does happen and in the case that it happens, this person will most definitely need a <a href="http://pevetolaw.com/mckinney-criminal-defense">McKinney Defense Lawyer</a>. <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driving_under_the_influence" rel="wikipedia" title="Driving under the influence">DUIs</a> and DWIs are not something to joke about, especially if somebody else is involved that was injured by you because you were not able to operate the vehicle correctly.

Having a <a href="http://pevetolaw.com/texas-dwi-defense">Dallas criminal attorney</a> can help during these trying times.

One of the first questions you must ask yourself is what type of lawyer do you need, if you are being charged with a DWI, for example, you will want to hire a <a href="http://www.pevetolaw.com/frisco-criminal-defense">FriscoDWI lawyer</a>. After determining what your legal situation is and what type of lawyer your need, the next step to hiring a lawyer is to arrange a meeting with the prospective attorney. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt;">Whether you are hiring a <a href="http://www.p1lawyer.com/Frisco-Defense-Attorney">Frisco DWI lawyer</a>, or a civil lawyer to prepare a will, it is important to prepare properly for your meeting. Begin by preparing notes on the case, and organizing all the information. Whether you are the defendant or plaintiff, it is important that you have your story straight, or if it is for a divorce or a similar situation, organize your complaints and grievances in <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronology" rel="wikipedia" title="Chronology">chronological order</a>, and be prepared to honestly and openly discuss them. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt;">After preparing your notes, create a contact list, which would include the names, addresses, and telephone number of any witnesses or individuals that are close enough to the situation that they may be able to help with your case. Also, ask the law office what the lawyer would like for you to bring, and offer to fax or email documents ahead of time, so that he attorney has time to review it. And remember, regardless of how the meeting goes, you are ensured confidentiality whether or not you choose to hire the lawyer. Also, do not let the attorney pressure you into hiring them if you are not confident in them. Hiring a <a href="http://www.p1lawyer.com/Frisco-Defense-Attorney">Friscodefense attorney</a> can be intimidating, but if you prepare properly and schedule multiple <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meeting" rel="wikipedia" title="Meeting">meetings</a>, it can be much easier than it seems.</span></div><span class="zemanta-img separator zemanta-action-dragged"><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sobriety_checkpoint_easthaven_ct.jpg" style="clear: right; display: block; float: right; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="A sobriety checkpoint in East Haven, CT.

What does a lawyer do, how do they charge clients, among other things. So what does lawyer do? Lawyers work in a variety of legal fields. There are two basic types though, defense lawyer, and prosecution lawyers. Within these two fields there are many variations and specialties. For example, a <a href="http://www.p1lawyer.com/Dallas-Defense-Attorney">Dallas defense lawyer</a> is much different than one in New York. As far as specialties go, the list goes on forever. There are DUI lawyers, civil litigators, corporate lawyers, divorce lawyers, and so many more. These specialties are usually localized as well, so a <a href="http://www.pevetolaw.com/texas-dwi-defense">Dallas DWI lawyer</a> is quite different than a New York DWI lawyer.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Another common question is, how do lawyers bill their clients? There are generally three different types of billing, set fee, hourly rate, or a contingency fee. A set fee is used for simpler legal cases where the amount of work is mostly known in advance, such as a will or loan. The majority of legal services are billed using an hourly rate, which is exactly how it sounds. A contingency fee, while less common, is arguably the best method of payment. It is used only when filing a lawsuit, and the lawyer is only paid if they win their case. This method is convenient because it means certain profit for the client. Hopefully you are now able to hire a lawyer with a bit more confidence. Whether it is a <a href="http://www.pevetolaw.com/frisco-criminal-defense">Dallas defense lawyer</a>, or New York defense lawyer, or a <a href="http://www.p1lawyer.com/Dallas-Defense-Attorney">Dallas DWI lawyer</a> or New York DUI lawyer, knowing the basic of how a lawyer-client relationship works is essential.</span></div><span class="zemanta-img separator zemanta-action-dragged"><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Downtown_Dallas_from_the_Trinity_River.jpg" style="clear: right; display: block; float: right; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Downtown Dallas in the background with the Tri..." height="169" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/63/Downtown_Dallas_from_the_Trinity_River.jpg/300px-Downtown_Dallas_from_the_Trinity_River.jpg" style="border: none; font-size: 0.8em;" width="300" /></a><span class="zemanta-img-attribution" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; width: 300px;">Image via <a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Downtown_Dallas_from_the_Trinity_River.jpg">Wikipedia</a></span></span><br />

Both are considered a criminal offense. If you were charged for the first time with a DUI in Texas, there is a minimal Jail sentence of 72 hours or 6 days if there was an <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_open_container_laws" title="United States open container laws" rel="wikipedia">open container</a> of alcohol in the vehicle when arrested. Your second offense is minimum of 72 hours to a year.<br /><br />DUI charges in Texas come at a large cost. You will be fined up to $2,000. You may be responsible for evaluation and other administrative fees that were incurred. The state also charges DUI offenders a surcharge of $1,000 for three years for first time offenders. However it can be $2,000 per year if your <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_alcohol_content" title="Blood alcohol content" rel="wikipedia">blood alcohol level</a> was equal to or greater than double the state’s legal limit. Second offense DUI charges cost more.

The court may order a year of DWI Education program and allow you to maintain your driving rights. Second time offenders lose their driver’s license for 18 months to two years and are required to complete 12 hours of a DWI Education Program. If your license is revoked, you can apply for an occupational license to drive to drive for essential needs, like to and from work.<br /><br /><div class="zemanta-related"><h6 class="zemanta-related-title" style="font-size: 1em; margin: 1em 0pt 0pt;">Related articles</h6><ul class="zemanta-article-ul"><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://socyberty.com/law/will-a-plea-bargain-be-possible-for-my-dui-case/">Will a Plea Bargain be Possible for My DUI Case?</a> (socyberty.com)</li><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.popcrunch.com/snooki-charged-in-connection-with-teens-dui-death/">"Snooki" Charged In Connection With Teen's DUI Death</a> (popcrunch.com)</li></ul></div> <div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;" class="zemanta-pixie"><a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://www.zemanta.com/" title="Enhanced by Zemanta"><img style="border: medium none; float: right;" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/zemified_e.png?x-id=3e4384f7-b944-40ba-91eb-4e58f00e3bbd" alt="Enhanced by Zemanta" /></a></div>PevetoLawhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14590437652909586751noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040255045850715940.post-52274801508871079902011-05-11T00:11:00.000-07:002011-05-11T00:11:00.630-07:00The Costs and Consequences of a DUI Charge<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_I0LRBMEa0unhciVW8JMoZhdFxJirk5A7FQBfX5bwZWiA7w1GHj13W0pZkNayYnwlQmJ-9AcFnaN-j3JDyEIR4ZSes2COsEsvXgWZpF2QPxjMlfrTegYIkJwcsHmT7R8FT2dQKpu6LNw/s1600/bacon+martini.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 160px; height: 160px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_I0LRBMEa0unhciVW8JMoZhdFxJirk5A7FQBfX5bwZWiA7w1GHj13W0pZkNayYnwlQmJ-9AcFnaN-j3JDyEIR4ZSes2COsEsvXgWZpF2QPxjMlfrTegYIkJwcsHmT7R8FT2dQKpu6LNw/s200/bacon+martini.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593665166775304962" border="0" /></a><br />Texas is a state that takes DUI charges very seriously. If you are arrested for driving under the influence anywhere in Collin County, then hiring a <a href="http://pevetolaw.com/dwi-dui/north-texas-dwi-attorney">McKinney DUI attorney</a> should be the first move you make. The only way you'll stand a chance against a DUI charge is with an professional legal team by your side.<br /><br />Without an attorney, a McKinny court will convict you of DUI regardless of the evidence against you. Questions that an experienced attorney will ask are whether or not the police followed the correct procedure in stopping your vehicle? Did they have probable cause? Was the law followed when the police asked you to submit to a DUI breathalyzer or blood test? All of these questions can have a bearing on the outcome of your case, but they are questions that should be handled by an attorney.<br /><br />The consequences of having a <a href="http://pevetolaw.com/dwi-dui/texas-dwi-penalties-punishment-and-probation">DUI in Texas</a> can be the suspension of your driver’s license, a hefty fine, ignition interlocking, mandatory enrollment a substance abuse program, or even a prison sentence. You do not want to be standing alone in this situation without the benefit of a legal expert behind you. Just because you have been charged with a DUI does not mean that you will be convicted of the criminal charge. But without an experienced <a href="http://p1lawyer.com/mckinney-defense-attorney">McKinney DUI attorney</a> to help minimize the damage to your record, your chance of avoiding conviction is low.<br /><br />Most DUI charges are prosecuted as <a href="http://p1lawyer.com/texas-misdemeanor">misdemeanor charges</a>, but even a misdemeanor criminal charge can cost you your driver’s license in Texas. Having a criminal record could cost you a job later in life. It will certainly affect your record for many years. You need to be sure that you are getting help from an attorney who knows the law, the local prosecutors, and judges so that you have total control of your situation.<br /><div class="zemanta-related"><h6 class="zemanta-related-title" style="font-size: 1em; margin: 1em 0pt 0pt;">Related articles</h6><ul class="zemanta-article-ul"><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://socyberty.com/law/will-a-plea-bargain-be-possible-for-my-dui-case/">Will a Plea Bargain be Possible for My DUI Case?</a> (socyberty.com)</li><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://nashvilleattorney.wordpress.com/2011/03/23/nashville-criminal-lawyers-explain-the-only-way-to-beat-a-dui-in-tennessee/">Nashville Criminal Lawyers Explain: The ONLY way to BEAT a DUI in Tennessee</a> (nashvilleattorney.wordpress.com)</li></ul></div> <div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;" class="zemanta-pixie"><a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://www.zemanta.com/" title="Enhanced by Zemanta"><img style="border: medium none; float: right;" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/zemified_e.png?x-id=d04ebd29-41e4-4984-b83c-0997d33481ff" alt="Enhanced by Zemanta" /></a></div>PevetoLawhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14590437652909586751noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040255045850715940.post-28104036276138053332011-05-09T01:05:00.000-07:002011-05-09T01:05:00.697-07:00Texas Marijuana Charges Are SeriousIf you have been faced with Texas Marijuana charges then you know that you get arrested automatically under the <a href="http://pevetolaw.com/drug-charges/possession-marijuana">Texas marijuana laws</a>.

While a <a href="http://www.pevetolaw.com/criminal-defense/misdemeanor-lawyer-collin-county-dallas">Plano misdemeanor</a> defense is usually without complications and can be handled quickly, it is always wise to use an attorney for any sort of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_charge" title="Criminal charge" rel="wikipedia">criminal charge</a> against you. The consequences of a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_record" title="Criminal record" rel="wikipedia">criminal record</a> are far reaching and can affect your future.<br /><br />A <a href="http://p1lawyer.com/plano-defense-attorney">misdemeanor charge</a> can even be resolved before you get to trail, if you have the right lawyer to handle your case. Plano, due to its location and business reputation has had a number of fraud cases over the past few years. Despite being an affluent area of Dallas, the increase in misdemeanor fraud has meant that all criminal charges are taken seriously by the courts. A <a href="http://pevetolaw.com/">Plano misdemeanor defense</a> is best handled by an experienced local attorney, no matter what the charges are.<br /><br />The first step in handling a <a href="http://p1lawyer.com/texas-misdemeanor">misdemeanor charge</a> is to give your attorney all of the details. Leave nothing out and be completely honest. Guilt or innocence are only determined in a court; not by the police or by your attorney. An assertive attorney can have charges dismissed, reduced and settled by the time you get to court, which will mean that your life is not disrupted any more than it has to be.<br /><br />While a misdemeanor offense is considerably less serious than a felony charge you still face stiff penalties if convicted of a crime.

Many DUI cases in Texas are prosecuted as criminal offenses. The consequences of the DUI charge are long term and in some cases permanent. You need to hire an experienced local DUI attorney immediately, to help with damage control.<br /><br />Texas law states that the minimum jail time for a DUI is 72 hours. If you are caught with an <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_open_container_laws" title="United States open container laws" rel="wikipedia">open container</a>, then the minimum jail time increases to six days. There is also t<span class="zemanta-img separator zemanta-action-dragged" style="clear: right;"><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kranz_Koelsch.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; display: block; float: right; clear: right;"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/58/Kranz_Koelsch.jpg/300px-Kranz_Koelsch.jpg" alt="A wreath Kolsch Beer - LA Times of Kölsch." style="font-size: 0.8em; border: medium none;" height="225" width="300" /></a><span class="zemanta-img-attribution" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; clear: both; float: right; width: 300px;">Image via <a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kranz_Koelsch.jpg">Wikipedia</a></span></span>he additional jail time for any other offenses or damages done while driving under the influence that you will have to face.<br /><br />In Texas the DUI laws are very stern, with no exceptions. Texas has implemented many consequences for those facing DUI charges. Even if you are not convicted, you will still feel the wrath of the Texas laws. For example if you are not convicted of the DUI, but test positive for <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_alcohol_content" title="Blood alcohol content" rel="wikipedia">blood alcohol levels</a>, your driver’s license will still get suspended. If convicted, your license will be suspended for 90 days to a year for first time offenders. Habitual offenders will face a longer suspension period and face losing their license permanently.<br /><br />Texas law states that anyone who refuses to take a breath, blood or <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinalysis" title="Urinalysis" rel="wikipedia">urine test</a> checking for alcohol can be penalized also. If an officer suspects you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs and you refuse testing, you can lose your driver’s license for a minimum of 90 days for the first offense. If you refuse and are under the legal drinking age of 21, you lose your driver’s license for one year for the first offense. If you refuse additional tests in the future the time of suspension is increased.<br /><br /><a href="http://p1lawyer.com/texas-dwi">Texas DUI</a> laws have severe consequences, which is why you need to obtain the services of an accomplished <a href="http://www.pevetolaw.com">DUI attorney</a> to protect your rights if you are charged with driving under the influence.<div class="zemanta-related"><h6 class="zemanta-related-title" style="font-size: 1em; margin: 1em 0pt 0pt;">Related articles</h6><ul class="zemanta-article-ul"><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2014715388_dui08m.html?syndication=rss">The man of many DUIs kept driving, has a crash</a> (seattletimes.nwsource.com)</li><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb2011/04/prweb5203674.htm">Drunk Driving Prevention Android App DUI kNOw!
