  10. Hall, John: criminal defense
  11. James, Carter & Coulter: Criminal Defense Criminal law covers a wide range of felonies and misdemeanors. Because felonies are more serious crimes, they carry heavier penalties, including heavy fines, imprisonment and a possible sentence of life in prison or capital punishment for the most severe crimes. Crimes are litigated in both state and federal courts, depending on the nature of the crime and the jurisdiction under which it falls. Whatever the crime, within the U.S. criminal justice system you are innocent until proven guilty. Putting your life in the hands of an expert criminal attorney is a wise action, no matter what crime has been alleged. Obviously, the legal system holds no guarantees, but choosing a proven criminal lawyer to plan your case in the early stages may give you an advantage and make it possible to beat charges brought against you.

  20. James Law Office: Arkansas Criminal Law Legal advice and representation are essential at every stage of a criminal case, including before charges are even filed. Unless the police have personally witnessed the crime with which you are being charged, there will likely be an investigation period before charges are actually filed, during which time you may be interviewed, and other evidence collected. What you say and do at this stage can influence what charges are filed, if any, and your statements and actions may be used against you later at trial. Consulting with an attorney experienced in Arkansas criminal laws at this stage can be critical to whether charges are even filed and to protecting your rights should the case later come to trial.

  22. Nolen, Christopher: Your Constitutional Rights: Always remember you have constitutional rights that need protection. If you have been arrested for a crime or contacted by the police, please keep these seven points in mind: 1. You have the right to have your attorney present with you at every stage of the proceedings. 2. You have the right to a public trial by an impartial jury. 3. You have the right to remain silent before and during trial; DO NOT SAY ANYTHING without your attorney. No one can force you to testify against yourself. 4. You have the right at trial to hear and question all witnesses who testify against you. 5. You have the right at trial to have witnesses testify on your behalf. 6. You have the right to appeal a determination of guilt after a trial has concluded. 7. You are presumed innocent until a criminal charge is proven Òbeyond a reasonable doubtÓ or you enter a plea of guilty. In each criminal case, the State must prove every element of the crime with which you have been charged. The prosecutor's accusation against you does not mean that the State has all the evidence necessary to meet that burden.
  23. Green, Gary: Criminal Law The most important thing to keep in mind if you are facing a criminal law charge is that you have the right to remain silent and you should exercise that right. You should also retain legal counsel as soon as possible to protect your rights! If you have never faced criminal charges before, you may not be aware of the legalities of the criminal process and the repercussions that you may face. We can help you understand the charges filed against you, your available defenses, the plea bargains offered, and the penalties and fines you may expect if you are convicted. Crimes are divided into two classes of misdemeanors and felonies. Misdemeanor offenses are not as serious as felony offenses and typically don't involve great bodily harm to another person and are punishable by probation, jail time of less than one year, community service, counseling, restitution, and monetary fines. Felonies comprise the most serious criminal offenses including bodily harm to another person or large sums of money. A felony conviction can result in prison terms of more than a year, lengthy probation, immense fines, or even the death penalty.
  24. Gregory Bryant: Criminal law charges present difficult emotional and financial situations. They require an attorney familiar with the law and the prosecutors, judges, and courts in which the case will be tried.
  25. Bill James: A trial judge generally has discretion whether to grant probation to a defendant. In accordance with that discretion, the trial judge is also entitled to modify, to reduce, or to terminate the defendant's probation.
  26. Herbert Wright: Do not talk to anyone about your case without first discussing the matter with your attorney. You may discuss anything concerning your case with your attorney because these matters are recognized to be confidential. Remember though that this confidential privilege extends only to discussions between you and your attorney and your attorney's staff. Anything you tell your family, friends or others such as cellmates is not confidential, and the court can compel those people to testify about what you have said whether they want to or not.
  27. Hancock and Lane: Every state makes it a crime for a driver to operate a vehicle (car, motorcycle or commercial vehicle) while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Commonly called driving under the influence (DUI), this offense may also be called driving while intoxicated (DWI), operating under the influence (OUI) or operating a motor vehicle intoxicated (OMVI). There are two situations when a driver can be arrested and convicted for DUI: 1. When the driver is unable to operate a vehicle safely as a result of being impaired by alcohol, illegal drugs, prescription medications (e.g., painkillers) or over-the-counter medications (e.g., antihistamines); or 2. When the driver is operating a vehicle above the state's set blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) standards. A driver's first DUI conviction is normally charged as a misdemeanor, but may increase to a felony in some states if someone was injured or if it is a repeat offense. For example, DUI may be charged as a felony in California if the accused has three or more prior DUI convictions.
  28. Collins Law Firm: DWI FAQ classroom What is a DWI? DWI is a two part law. This means that you can be convicted under one of the following two sections of law. 1.It is unlawful for any person who is intoxicated to operate or be in actual physical control of a motor vehicle. 2.It is unlawful for any person to operate or be in actual physical control of a motor vehicle if at that time the alcohol concentration in the person's breath or blood was eight-hundredths (0.08) What does intoxicated mean? Intoxicated means influenced or affected by the ingestion of alcohol, a controlled substance, any intoxicant, or any combination thereof, to such a degree that the driver's reactions, motor skills, and judgment are substantially altered and the driver, therefore, constitutes a clear and substantial danger of physical injury or death to himself and other motorists or pedestrians; Does it matter that the drug was prescribed to me? No, but it does matter what the drug is. Many prescribed drugs are not schedule I-VI drugs and therefore, do not fall under the DWI statute. Controlled Substance is a drug, substance, or immediate precursor in Schedules I through VI. The fact that any person charged with a violation of this act is or has been entitled to use that drug or controlled substance under the laws of this state shall not constitute a defense against any charge of violating this act. This statute includes both legal and illegal drugs. Can I get a DWI if I wasnÕt driving? Ironically there is no requirement for driving to get a driving while intoxicated charge. The law states you must be in actual physical control of the vehicle. The Courts have determined that to mean having the keys in the ignition, whether the vehicle is running or not. Generally, the police will attempt to prove physical control by asking if you have been driving or by other circumstantial evidence. The law has become very muddled with this element of the crime. If you have a specific question you should contact our office so one of our attorneys can determine if it applies to your case. Can I get a DWI if I was not on public roadway? There is no requirement that you operate the vehicle on a public roadway. Many people have gotten DWIÕs on private property. This does, however, bring up a new issue of whether the police had the authority under Rule 3.1 or 2.2 to actually come into contact with you. Call our office and speak with an attorney to determine if your specific facts allow for a defense. Is a four wheeler a motor vehicle? A vehicle is defined as every vehicle which is self propelled and every vehicle which is propelled by electric power obtained from overhead trolley wire but not operated upon rails. This would include four wheelers, cars, trucks, electric wheel chairs, golf carts, etc... Can my DWI be pled down to a careless driving? Yes and No. State law prohibits reducing a DWI. You must go to trial or plead guilty. Federal law does not have the same prohibition and in some instances you may be able to plea to a reduced charge. What are the penalties for DWI? Aside from the embarrassment, increased insurance premiums, and possible interference with employment and professional licensure, in State Court you can look forward to: 1st Offense * 24 hours to 1 year in jail * $150 up to $1,000 fine * $300 Court Costs * Alcohol education class * DL suspension for 120 days if BAC is .08-.14; 6 months if intoxicated by alcohol or drugs; 180 days if .15 or higher * .15 or higher, commercial license, or refusal results in no work permit 2nd Offense * 7 days up to 1 year in jail * No less than $400 up to $3,000 fine * $300 Court Costs * Alcohol Education Course * DL suspension for 24 months with no permit, however, an interlock is available after 1 year 3rd Offense * 90 days up to 1 year in jail * $900 up to $5,000 fine * $300 Court Costs * Alcohol Education * DL Suspension for 30 months with no permit, however an interlock is available after 1 year 4th Offense - Felony * 1 year up to 6 years in prison * up to 10,000 fine * $300 Court Costs * Revocation of DL for 4 years * Alcohol Education Can I get a work permit? If you are charged with your first DWI, had a blood alcohol level of less than .15%, and did not refuse the test you should be able to get a work permit to get to and from work, school, Court, alcohol education classes, and for emergency health care. What if my blood alcohol concentration was over a .14%? If you blew over a .14% you will not be able to get a work permit, but you may qualify for an interlock device. The advantage of an interlock device is that you can drive anywhere at anytime. The disadvantage is that it can be very embarrassing and has an initial setup cost and a monthly maintenance fee. What if I refused to take the test offered by the officer? If you refused the test you will not be able to get a work permit, but you may be able to get an interlock device. The advantage of an interlock device is that you can drive anywhere at anytime. The disadvantage is that it can be very embarrassing and has an initial setup cost and a monthly maintenance fee. However, you will not be able to get an interlock if your offense involved drugs and you refused the officerÕs request to take a test. What is an interlock device? An interlock device is a machine hooked to your ignition that prevents your car from starting if you have a detectable amount of alcohol on your breath. There are many local providers and the price for installation and monthly maintenance vary.
