I enjoyed the material from the two "one" hour presentations at the Cincinnati Bar Association. Most of the attorneys present were criminal defense attorneys and several were traffic law and DUI specialists, i.e. these attorneys limit their practice to traffic law and DUI cases.
If you are a nurse and you are charged with a OVI, DWI, or DUI, you want to hire a criminal defense attorney. I would suggest that you take it step further and hire a criminal defense attorney who limits their law practice to DUI cases and/or traffic law cases. You want a specialist even though the attorney may not be able to call him or herself a specialist under the ethical canons.
You want an attorney who knows DUI and traffic law front and backwards and sideways from the arrest and investigation stage to the sentencing and post-sentencing phases. Like Chuck Strain in Cincinnati, Ohio, who calls himself the DUI Guy. http://blog.lawinfo.com/2007/02/21/cincinnati-dui-lawyer-chuck-strain-is-a-frequent-speaker-at-dui-seminars-2/
This is my 4th DUI course in a less than a year (I don't miss these) and I don't practice criminal law. I am certainly not a DUI or traffic law practitioner but I am seeing so many cases in my license defense practice involving DUI the last 2 years that I have to get a better feel for the issues involved with these cases because nurses with DUIs are required to self-report this information at some point to the Nursing Board, depending on the State, of course.
Can I refer to myself as the Nurse License Gal? Its not as catchy.
Maybe Nurse Attorney for a Nurse License? Too wordy.
I personally like my handle (no I don't have CDL license or drive trucks on the side for additional income) and codename, Nursing Law Bandit. What is your handle, code name, or alias?
