DUI Directory DUIlaw When you've been arrested for a DUI in Denver or Boulder and you don't think it's fair, you need a lawyer who can protect your rights...make sure you're treated fairly...and who knows how to get results. You've just found that lawyer. I understand that you're probably feeling confused, angry, or somewhat fearful about what's happened to you. The process of being arrested, taken to jail, fingerprinted, and photographed was probably very dehumanizing to you. I sincerely sympathize with that. To be honest with you--you're faced with a charge which can have serious outcomes. (Please see what your DUI may cost .)I don't want to scare you, but let me give you a glimpse of what's in store for you. If your case goes the wrong way you could lose your license, your insurance could go up, you could be fined, it could hurt you when you apply for a job, and you could even go to jail. I'll Help You Keep Your License and Your Freedom I know you're fearful about what might happen to you, but I'd like you to know that there's a good chance I can help. Did you know that there are at least 20 possible challenges that can be made to the charges you are facing? I can raise applicable ones for you so your case is as strong as possible. Sure, I can just fill out the forms and talk to the District Attorney, but in many cases the best choice is to fight. That's the kind of case I focus on. My goal is to get you off, to keep your record clean, and to prevent you from losing your freedom and your license to drive. You see . . . my practice is based on the belief that you were arrested when you shouldn't have been. At the very least, I'll make sure that you're being treated fairly. The District Attorney prosecutes these types of cases all day. He knows--and is willing to use against you--all of the fine legal points that are available to him. The law says that he only needs to prove that after drinking you were not able to drive your car safely or that your blood alcohol exceeds a certain limit. That sounds pretty cut and dried, but it's not quite as simple as that. You see, if challenged, the DA also has to show that the arresting officer made the arrest properly, that you were properly advised of your rights, that the equipment he used to test you was working accurately, and even that the person operating that equipment was certified to operate it. If he gets information which may prove you innocent, an attorney can make him give you that information also. Get The Legal Help You Need That's where I come in. I know how and where to make the proper motions which force the DA to prove that all the steps used in your arrest were done properly. If they weren't, then his case is weakened. I can't promise you that I'll be successful because each case is unique. Maybe the judge assigned to your case is more lenient on drunk driving cases, or maybe he is harsher on them. Maybe there are some things distinctive to your case which are important. However, all things being equal, I think you'll find that I am well-skilled and that I fiercely protect your rights. When you retain me you'll get expert legal help from an attorney who knows how to guide your case through the complexities of the legal system because I've done it numerous times. You'll be certain you are being treated fairly by the judicial system because I'll insist: that the District Attorney provide us with the name and address of anyone he plans to call as a witness, as well as copies of every written or recorded statements of their testimony. This will allow us to prepare our questions for them. that the DA provide us with any information or material he has which would show that you are not guilty of the charges against you, or which may help you get a lighter sentence. on receiving copies of records showing that the equipment used for tests was functioning properly, and that the person giving the tests was properly certified. on proof that you were advised of all of your rights. If you weren't, the DA's case may be weakened. I talk to the District Attorney beforehand to get him to produce his proof and let him know that I will be contesting in court all these points I mentioned. When his case is challenged, he has to take a lot of time producing this material and witnesses. As you can see, what looks simple gets pretty complex. As your attorney I will look into all ofthese things for you so that you will have the best possible case. Actually, there is more, but I don't have space in this letter to tell you all of it. Free Consultation and Review of Your DUI Arrest $150 Value You're probably like most people arrested for a DUI. You don't really know the rightthing to do about it, and you don't know whether or not you can win if you contest your arrest.

Greater Detroit Area " Greater Detroit Area Greater Detroit Area "Patrick T. Barone Site Navigation Return Home DUI Defenses DUI Sample Cases DUI Attorney Info DUI Resources DUI Courts Info DUI Driver License DUI Links [During my jury trial] Patrick presented a cogent and effective cross examination, effectively fleshing out all the exculpatory aspects of my stop. He concluded with a compelling and metaphorically vivid closing argument, which clearly undermined the prosecutions capacity for rebuttal. -R.S. Michigan 14 Day Limitation! WARNING! If you refused to take a breath, blood or urine test after being arrested for OWI/OWVI or another drinking related charge in Michigan, your license may be at risk of being suspended if you do not take appropriate action to demand an administrative hearing within 14 days after your arrest. Contact our office immediately to protect your license. IMPLIED CONSENT / REFUSAL TO TAKE CHEMICAL TEST A driver arrested for drunk driving or in the language of the statute "one of the enumerated offenses" (see below), who refuses to take the chemical test offered by the police will have his or her license confiscated and destroyed, and will be issued a paper license. This temporary license indicates on it face that the driver has allegedly refused such a test, and also sets forth the driver's appellate rights. This notice also includes the statement that a hearing must be requested within 14 days of the date of the arrest. You can file the request for a hearing yourself or contact our office and we can prepare and file the request and appear at the hearing for you. Once you file the request the Driver License Appeal Division (DLAD) will notify you of a hearing date at which time you and/or your attorney will appear before a hearing officer with the DLAD. The hearing officer will listen to the arresting officer's testimony and to your testimony, then decide whether or not your license will be suspended.A failure to request the hearing will automatically result in a one or two year suspension, depending on your record. Six points will also be added to your driving record. At the hearing you may only contest one or all of the following issues: Did the police officer have reasonable grounds to believe you committed a crime listed in MCLA 257.625c(1)? (includes OWI, OWVI, OWI/OWVI causing death or serious impairment, or minor blood alcohol content (BAC), also known as zero tolerance). Were you placed under arrest for one of these crimes (see above). Did you reasonably refuse to submit to the test offered by the police. Were you advised of your rights. If you are successful at the DLAD hearing, then your license will not be suspended, and no points will be added to your driving record (unless and until you are convicted of the underlying drinking related offense). If you are not successful you will lose your license. Under this scenario, you may file an appeal of the hearing officer's findings with the Circuit Court, and even if the Circuit Court Judge does not reverse the hearing officer's findings, he/she may still order that you be given restricted driving privileges. IF YOU LOSE THE IMPLIED CONSENT HEARING THIS CIRCUIT COURT PETITION/APPEAL IS THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN GET RESTRICTED DRIVING PRIVILEGES. FILING AN "APPEAL" (REQUEST FOR HEARING) A timely appeal or request for hearing must be made within 14 days. According to DLAD rule 257.302 the request for hearing must be in writing and include all of the following information: your full name, home and mailing address, telephone number, date of birth and driver license number and be filed with the division in Lansing (see address below). The written request may be sent by regular mail, but it is your responsibility to make sure it is properly postmarked. The best practice is to send it by registered mail, with a return receipt requested. The hearing request may also be filed by fax or hand delivered.

DUI Arrest

The Smoking Gun: Archive Turns out another "Big Brother 3" contestant knows what it's like to get nailed for drunk driving and other crimes, The Smoking Gun has learned. Amy Crews, 24, was arrested in February 1999 and charged with driving while intoxicated after crashing her Toyota in a one-car accident near her Arkansas home. According to this West Memphis Police Department report , Crews's car struck a concrete mailbox, rolled onto its roof, and slid for 25 yards before stopping. When cops arrived at 3:30 AM, Crews not only failed a field sobriety test, but registered a .14 on a breathalyzer machine (in 1999, the Arkansas legal limit was a blood alcohol content of .10). At the time of her DWI arrest, Crews was 20. Since 1935, the legal drinking age in Arkansas has been 21. In March 1999, Crews pleaded no contest in Crittenden County District Court to the misdemeanor DWI charge. She was hit with a one-year suspended jail term, fined $1000, directed to pay court costs of $300, and ordered to attend alcohol safety school and an alcohol education class. But it's unclear what Crews might have learned during those courses, since she is often seen guzzling the wine and beer of other Big Brother houseguests, some of whom have talked openly about her prodigious alcohol consumption. In fact, contestant Tonya Paoni--who was just voted off the show--confronted Crews last week and told her she should enter Alcoholics Anonymous upon leaving the Big Brother compound. Crews appears to relish her role as the show's tipsy, boyfriend-stealing Southern belle, a young woman who does not hesitate to denigrate fellow contestants she deems beneath her. Allison Grodner, the reality TV show's executive producer, has said that "Big Brother 3" staffers "fell in love with Amy" during auditions. "She's a very classy person, opinionated and judgmental in her way, and we like that," said Grodner. "She's not afraid to say what she feels, so we've really enjoyed her." The 1999 DWI arrest is not the only entry on Crews's rap sheet: * While a student (briefly) at the University of Mississippi, Crews got nailed in April 1997 for possession of beer by a minor , a misdemeanor. She was fined $172 in Oxford Municipal Court. * In December 1998, Crews was arrested for reckless driving and driving with a revoked or suspended license after leading an Arkansas state trooper on a high-speed chase. In fact, Crews was going so fast on Interstate 40--92 mph in a 65mph zone--that the arresting officer noted in his report that he "attempted to catch up with the speeding vehicle but found it to be very difficult." In early-1999, Crews was convicted of misdemeanor reckless driving after a Crittenden County District Court trial (she had previously paid a $75 fine to settle the driving with a suspended or revoked license charge). * In February 1999, a West Memphis Municipal Court judge issued a warrant for Crews's arrest after she bounced a check --for a whopping $6.77--at the Flash Market gas station. * That warrant remained outstanding until Crews had another run-in with cops, this time in May 1999. She was arrested after a bizarre fender-bender at a bank drive-thru window. When cops responded to the accident scene they discovered Crews was driving though her license had been suspended as a result of the March 1999 DWI conviction. And a warrant search also turned up the bum check--a violation of the Arkansas "Hot Check Law." The check charge was eventually dropped when Crews made restitution to the gas station. And after pleading no contest in Crittenden County District Court, Crews paid a $95 fine to settle the other misdemeanor charges. On July 22, TSG reported that Chiara Berti, another "Big Brother 3" contestant, was arrested in late-May on drunk driving charges , which are pending in Los Angeles Superior Court. Asked about the 25-year-old's arrest, which came during the final stage of "Big Brother 3" auditions, CBS spokesperson Chris Ender gave reporters a flippant comment about the DUI charge: "On the brighter side, she won't be doing any driving in the house." Incredibly, Ender repeated the same comment when TSG spoke to him today (7/29) about Crews's alcohol problem. "This is a reality program, and in reality people aren't perfect," he said. home | contest | featured document | email
