Almost all of us have been pulled over for speeding by a cop before. It sucks. They usually make us feel dumb or embarrassed, and then they give us a ticket for a couple hundred bucks and just expect us to pay it. Some people fight back, some on their own, some with a Seattle traffic lawyer. If you decide to go it alone or are on the fence about hiring a speeding ticket attorney to help, I thought I'd at least help you out with some defenses that won't work.

Even the best Seattle DUI attorneys face an uphill battle with every single DUI case they help someone with. Our profession is a true underdog story. With the advent of mothers against drunk driving, students against drunk driving, and everyone else against drunk driving, the laws on driving after drinking have become so restrictive as to make every case an uphill battle. (Just FYI, I am against drunk drivers and drunk driving, the problem I have is with people being accused of drunk driving not because of bad driving but because they can't walk a line heel to toe.)

Practicing criminal defense is a challenging career path. You are constantly fighting uphill battles, you are constantly working with bad facts and bad law, and in every single case you have someone's livelihood on the line (it wouldn't be a criminal case if there wasn't any jail time as a possibility). This can make even the most hardened Seattle DUI defense attorney a little bit anxious when it comes to fighting the good fight. But there is a reason to stand up and fight.

I don't know that I ever planned to be a Seattle DUI attorney, or a criminal attorney at all for that matter. Sure, it looked cool on the movies, and it seemed like it would be pretty fun to fight the cops, but I never really thought to myself "I want to do that." But here I am. And now that I am, I see it takes a pretty special breed of person to do it well. So, if you are thinking about becoming a DUI lawyer or criminal defense lawyer, here are some of the things I think you'll need.

I write and talk about this all the time. Don't talk to cops. Just don't do it. Ever. Nothing good comes of it. You will almost always end up in trouble, and if you weren't doing anything or don't have anything on you to get in trouble, you feel dirty for getting put through the ringer. Take if from a Seattle DUI attorney – just don't talk to cops.

One of the great things about the United States is that we all have Constitutional rights. These rights allow us to enjoy a freedom not many other people around the world can. What is sad, though, is that people don't take the time to fully understand those rights, and as a result, they often end up in trouble they could have avoided. Then they end up needing me, a Seattle criminal attorney, to help.

Almost all of us have, at one time or another, gotten behind the wheel and driven home after having a drink or two. And the good thing about it, is that this is okay. When things can go seriously wrong is when you get pulled over by a cop after having those couple drinks. If that happens, then there is a chance that you will be fighting for your freedom, and need a Seattle DUI attorney to help.

Everyone wants to save money these days. This means less shopping, it means buying the less expensive brand of toothpaste at the grocery store, and it means taking a serious look at any home improvement project that needs to be done to see if it can be done by you, the homeowner. For many, just such an inventory is done to see if any Wichita exterior painters are needed for a job.

If you are like me, you want to learn everything you can about what you are doing. For me, this was particularly true when it came to law firm internet SEO. After all, there is so much information out there on marketing your website on the internet that you are dumb not to at least read some of it, right?

One of the first things you'll notice when you are starting up a law firm is that there is no one there to watch you. If you want to go sit in your office all day and twiddle your thumbs, you can do that. The only person that will know is you (and your banker). But if you are setting out on your own, my guess is you don't want to do this anyway. So how do we get things done?
