As you know, the NFL championship will be decided this coming Sunday, February 3. Millions of viewers will visit friends or local bars to watch the action.
Police departments around the country will be watching the roads, especially during halftime and after the game. Don’t be surprised to see an increased police presence on Georgia highways and in busy neighborhoods.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that 130 people died as a result of drunk driving during the 2006 NFL Championship Game. Hundreds more were injured and maimed. You can be sure that Georgia law enforcement officers will be out in force.
Resolve to enjoy the game in safety – if you drink, designate a driver.

I know that you are a DUI lawyer and I hope you will be honest with me. How do I choose the right DUI lawyer? How much experience is really necessary? What questions do I ask? When should I hire my lawyer? And finally, are there situations where it just doesn’t make sense to spend the money on a lawyer?
I know that’s a lot of questions but I hope you will answer…
Answer: I’m sure that many people ask themselves the same questions. You should get the best lawyer you can afford to represent you and do it as soon as possible, since your license may be suspended if you do not ask for a hearing within ten business days from the date of your arrest. I would not represent myself if I were to be arrested for DUI as there are things a lawyer can do for you that you can not do for yourself, and if you try to do things for yourself, remember that everything you say will be used against you. The old saying, "a person who represents himself has a fool for a client", comes to mind and it is true.
