Should Celebrities be Good Role Models When it Comes to Drunk Driving?

Posted by admin on Monday, 16 November, 2009

We’ve been seeing quite a few celebrity faces splashed across the internet because of their DUI arrests. It’s almost an everyday occurrence. We’ve seen celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Mel Gibson, and Lindsey Lohan who have been charged with drunk driving. Fortunately people weren’t seriously injured or hurt because of their careless behavior. Would it have been an issue if someone was injured or was killed? Should we be holding these celebrities responsible for being good role models?

It seems like nowadays most people in our society think drinking and driving isn’t such a big deal. People get a slap on the wrist, little bitty fines, and short jail sentences. No wonder it isn’t taken seriously.

Are the lawmakers and legislature to blame because they haven’t been pushing for harsher jail sentences and DUI penalties? Are kids not getting enough education on this issue? What if celebrities had to do public service announcements as part of their DUI sentence? Do you think these celebrities have an obligation to be good role models for our children?

There are some initiatives going on right now to combat this drunk driving epidemic. Car companies like Nissan are working on installing technology similar to the ignition interlock device that detects alcohol in a person’s body when they get behind the wheel. Also, the state of New Mexico has ordered talking urinals to be installed in various establishments that serve alcohol. These talking urinal cakes utter public service announcements while someone is using the restroom. Will these initiatives work?

What can we do to prevent drunk driving in America? Should there be less drinking in movies and TV shows? Should celebrities be more responsible in their behavior? After all, children idolize them and often mimic their behaviors in order to be perceived as “cool”. What do you think?

Posted by admin on Saturday, 31 October, 2009

A DUI case is a very serious matter. Because most career options need a criminal background check, a DUI case not only has serious legal consequences, it also has the potential to ruin your future. Therefore, if you are charged with DUI, your top priority must be to look for a competent Seattle DUI attorney who can help you. Do not even think of representing yourself!

A good start to finding a reliable DUI attorney is to browse the Internet and prepare a list of a few attorneys in Seattle area who specialize in the field of DUI defense. So if you are a resident of Seattle, you can start by searching on “Seattle DUI Attorney” term and see what comes up in the search results.

 It is crucial for your DUI case that you look for a Seattle attorney who is an expert in DUI defense. There are a lot of great attorneys out there, but only some of them are experts in a particular field like DUI/DWI. DUI cases are a serious matter and you do not want to have an attorney who is not very good at defending cases like yours. To make out which one of these attorneys are specialist DUI lawyers, you should visit each attorney’s website and it will be easily evident to you if the attorney’s prime focus is DUI or something else.  If a lawyer’s website focuses on several areas of practice and DUI is just one of them, you may want to look somewhere else.

 Once you have made the initial list of expert Seattle DUI attorneys, it is time to look at their credentials like years of experience in the field of DUI, their education and background. The attorney must have spent a substantial part of her career dealing with DUI cases. You must look for client testimonials and seek out details about acquittals, dismissals, and reduction in charges this attorney has achieved in the past. See if they are members of any law community or organization dedicated to DUI law or cases. You should also see if they have any negative reviews on online legal forums and directories.

 

Some of these shortlisted expert DUI attorneys will offer you a 30 minute free legal consultation. This could be a great opportunity to analyze the attorney’s behavior before you choose to retain one of them. The attributes you should be looking for in a reliable DUI attorney are: their understanding of your legal requirements, their command over the legal situation you are in, and their motivation level to help you get justice. You must feel that the attorney is trustworthy and you must be comfortable in discussing your case with the attorney.

 

Finally, you must look at the costs involved in hiring the attorney you have in mind. The legal fees should not add to your existing troubles, and should be within your budget, so that you can focus on the case. With a little research and effort you should be able to find a competent Seattle DUI lattorney who is also affordable.

 

Selecting the right DUI attorney is serious business and you must make an informed decision as your future may depends on it.
