LEGAL TIPS

Montgomery DUI Lawyers:
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Attorney General Troy King has decided not to appeal a court decision that a fourth DUI conviction rises to a felony only if it occurred in a five-year period. Instead, he will ask the Legislature to toughen the drunken driving law.

BANKRUPTCY LAWYER

“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.

United States DUI Stats :
All 50 states now have two statutory offenses[1]. The first is the traditional offense, variously called driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI), driving while intoxicated/impaired (DWI) or operating while intoxicated/impaired (OWI). The second and more recent is the so-called illegal per se offense of driving with a blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% (previously 0.10%) or higher. The first offense requires proof of intoxication, although evidence of BAC is admissible as rebuttably presumptive evidence of that intoxication; the second requires only proof of BAC at the time of being in physical control of a motor vehicle. An accused may be convicted of both offenses, but may only be punished for one.
