- Barbara Maurer: The first line of defense is to challenge the reason that you were stopped. There are bad stops! There are many things that you need to do before appearing in front of a judge. I know what these things are and I strongly urge you to move quickly and contact my firm if you have been arrested or cited for a traffic offense. If it is your first arrest, the goal is make sure that you can continue driving. For second offenses, the goal is often to keep you out of jail and able to continue providing for your family.

- DeLois Leapheart: Ordinary law-abiding people who have never been a party to a criminal proceeding can suddenly find themselves thrown into the world of handcuffs, Breathalyzers and jail cells. Each year the drunk driving laws become stricter. In Michigan, in October of 1999, many significant changes will be made to its drunk driving laws. Drunk driving cases are usually processed in a relatively short time.
