Musca Law - DUI and Criminal Defense

Has this ever occurred to you? The party was too good to leave after only a drink or two. Old mates and new were enjoying themselves. The festive atmosphere had relaxed inhibitions. Smooth drinks of the bartender hired by the host tasted like ambrosia. With each further cocktail the single girls got better looking too.

They say all good things must come to an end. So, with a nice hum on it finally was time to head for the door. Arriving alone at this party would not mean leaving alone though. You had linked up with exciting new buddy and she was coming along for more than a trip home.

Blood alcohol levels deemed to impair driving have come down continuously. A famous congressman nearly lost the election when it was revealed he once was restrained for DUI. However, in those days of his youth, angles and laws were different. No jail time or license suspension. Simply a tiny fine and maybe some laughs with the cops and it was back on the road.

No more . When this chap was nearly at his destination his exciting chum had gotten sick. Stopping the auto attracted the eye of the police officer driving by. Shortly out came the device that shows blood alcohol in the body by reading breathed out breath. The officer was very professional in the way he put the handcuffs on. Not too tight but snug enough to remind you that without Houdini to help they were staying on.

As you observed your new auto being loaded on the tow van, the very last thing on your intellect now was what might have been with the new friend. A show you were to make at work in the morning was now in major danger. Suddenly you spotted that being locked up in jail was not just something you saw on television. Even through the mist of intoxication your anxiety was building.

When the patrol car pulled into the double gated area where captives were prepared you realized that the person soon to be behind bars was you. How could that be possible? You hadn't even received a parking ticket. Now you were facing significant charges, extortionate fine, insurance rates raised to the sky and, of course, the lawyer's fee and court costs. As a guy good with numbers you began to figure the cost of each drink you had consumed at that excellent party.

Rather than the jail cells you had seen so many times in those Western movies you loved, you ended up in a large holding cell with virtually 100 other men. A lot of them were much less educated than you and held roles requiring a lot of muscle and sweat. They didn't dress the way you did. Your shoes, slacks and name brand shirt surely cost more than the wardrobe of a number of these blokes.

Time passed slowly and little hope was on the horizon till the lawyer from Musca Law in Naples, Florida, arrived. Bail was posted and I was quickly brought to cruising speed with professionalism and straight forward answers. Being in the wrong last night did not definitely mean the system would win the following round.
