“PEOPLE THINK THAT YOU CAN’T FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY SINCE THE LAW WAS CHANGED.
THAT IS FALSE.
BANKRUPTCY IS STILL AN OPTION FOR PEOPLE STRUGGLING WITH DEBT.”
-Byron M. Richardson
You can stop the harassing phone calls. You can keep creditors from repossessing your car. You can keep your home.
While the law did change in 2005, filing for bankruptcy is still an option for good people that are overwhelmed with substantial debt that they cannot repay.
The changes in the law do make it more time consuming to file for bankruptcy, but you can still get most of the same protections in the new law that you could receive under the old law. Honest, hardworking people need a second chance. You should only decide to file for bankruptcy after speaking with an attorney that can review your situation and determine that bankruptcy is right for you. I offer that conversation to you for free.

DUI
& Driving Under The Influence:
DUI - DWI - ODWI? :
Unlike DUI, DWI, or OWUI cases that involve alcohol, there is generally no per se or legal limit that is employed for persons accused of driving under the influence of prescription medication or illicit drugs (although this is not the case in Ohio[citation needed]). Instead, the key inquiry focuses on whether the driver's faculties were impaired by the substance that was consumed. The detection and successful prosecution of drivers impaired by prescription medication or illegal drugs can therefore be difficult.
DUI Statistics :
The statistics range from the past three fiscal years, which run from July 1 to June 30. In each fiscal year, total arrests, including DUI arrests, have increased, while motor vehicle accidents have gone down. While 183 total accidents were recorded in year one, only 116 were recorded in year three, a 37 percent difference. During that same time, 154 DUI arrests were recorded in year one, contrasted to 235 in year three, a difference of 34 percent.
