• Steven Glucksman: If you are facing a criminal charge, a family crisis, a serious injury, or contemplating a business venture, you need someone with experience in these areas to guide you to the light at the end of the tunnel.
• John Anastasio: The crime of drunk driving is generally defined in two ways: (1) having a blood alcohol content above the limit set by law, or (2) driving under the influence of alcohol. To find a person guilty under the first definition, a jury must be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that the person's blood alcohol content (BAC) exceeded a certain amount. In most states the legal limit is .10 percent. Therefore, if it is proved that the person's BAC at the time of the incident was .10 percent or greater, he or she can be convicted of drunk driving, regardless of how much alcohol was actually consumed. As a practical matter, one drink would almost certainly not lead to a BAC of .10 percent or greater; generally, a person needs to have five drinks in an hour to develop a BAC of .10 percent. However, if there was something unique about the person or the drink, or other circumstance, one drink could raise the BAC above the legal limit.
