To Blow or Not to Blow? That is the Question.

By Nathan Ross | November 22, 2019

As a DUI practitioner, I get asked all the time whether it’s a good idea to provide a breath sample when a person gets arrested.

As a legal practitioner, I want to warn people that law enforcement uses traffic stops for much more than just issuing tickets and this new law gives […]

Our Civil Justice System has Limits!

By Gary Luke | June 19, 2019

I must admit that I am not too “hip” with social media or online business reviews.  Until recently I thought “Yelp” was something a puppy does.  Nevertheless, our office received a review on Yelp in January that was less than flattering.  While we have not been able to identify the author, the post itself reveals […]
