DWI OR DUI - RESULTS COUNT
The Mackey Law Firm has the ‘experience that counts’ to get results in your DWI or DUI case. Blood tests were once thought to have been impossible to attack by the defense. Not so. Flaws in science and police mistakes make the results of blood tests subject to scrutiny and ultimate rejection by a jury. Do not let a DWI conviction ruin your future and career.
SHOULD YOU PLEAD “NOT GUILTY” TO A DWI OR DUI CASE? To answer this question, you must have an evaluation of the evidence in your case, including but not limited to the following:
- How do you appear in the video at the scene and at the police station?
- What was your breath or blood test?
- How did you do in field sobriety testing such as the walk and turn, and one leg lift?
- Do you have any witnesses that say you were not intoxicated?
- Was your driving erratic or not?
- Was your voice clear or slurred?
These are a few of the considerations you need to discuss with the Mackey Law Firm.
DWI DRIVER LICENSE SUSPENSIONS
What are your rights when you drivers license was confiscated by the police for a refusal to take a breath or blood test and you were arrested for DWI or DUI? Ask the Mackey Law Firm how to preserve your driving rights. Should you request a hearing to preserve your drivers’ license? Do you need an occupational license? The Mackey Law Firm will answer your questions.
DRUG CASES
A drug conviction can damage one’s career. Employers require an explanation if you have ever been arrested for, indicted, charged with, probated or convicted of such a crime. Common questions that arise about drug cases center around who “possessed” the illegal drugs. Did the police conduct a search in accordance with the law? Did the crime laboratory make a mistake (which now has become a national concern with serious problems in testing)? Results count in these cases. The Mackey Law Firm will assist you in preparing and proving your plea of “Not Guilty.”
THEFT CASES
Arrested for shoplifting? Accused of embezzling money from your employer? In need of legal expertise to prove the charges false? Contact the Mackey Law Firm that truly has the “experience that counts.”
In shoplifting cases some of the issues that must be addressed are: Did the store have surveillance cameras or not? Did the store’s privately employed security officers in plain clothes try to get you to confess to something you didn’t do?
Many stores now have their legal department demand money for their “damages” if you are arrested for shoplifting.
The DA’s Office has a division called Economic Crime which investigates fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation of funds, and theft by employees from employers to name a few examples. These cases usually are ‘paper’ intensive and require accountants and bookkeepers to build the evidence. The Mackey Law Firm can help in your time of trouble.
Don’t hesitate to contact the Mackey Law Firm to fight for our rights.
BURGLARY OF HABITATION
Home burglaries are serious felony offenses. As a result, a conviction of such an offense can severely damage your future and your employment.
The District Attorney has determined that “home invasions” should be prosecuted vigorously. Many of these cases are put on the jury trial docket in an attempt to maximize prison sentences.
When you need legal assistance that stands up to the government in defense of the constitution and your rights, contact the Mackey Law Firm.
CHILD SEX ABUSE and SEXUAL ASSAULT
You have seen the billboards – “We Sue Sex Offenders.”
Accused of child sexual molestation? Accused of sexual assault? The public outrage against anyone convicted of such a crime has led to lifetime sexual offender registration, online internet lists naming the perpetrators, and at the very least, increased punishment and long prison sentences.
To defend against such accusations, the Mackey Law Firm has the “experience that counts.”
Don’t allow your career to be ruined by this type of allegation. Contact the Mackey Law Firm today to find out what your rights are and what you can do to pursue justice.
FAMILY VIOLENCE or ASSAULT FAMILY MEMBER
Argument with your spouse or loved one? After 911 is called, the police will look for any signs of bruises or injuries and make an arrest. The number of arrests for family violence has increased to almost epidemic proportions. If you are being investigated or charged wth such a crime, do not hesitate to contact the Mackey Law Firm to defend your rights.
INJURY ABUSE TO DISABLED OR EDERLY
Are you taking care of a child or your elderly or disabled parent? If your care falls below what the government feels is required, you could be charged with a felony crime of negligent care or abuse of your loved one. The sitter you have hired to take care of your loved one may be the principle witness against you. The doctor whom you have trusted may be a witness against you as well and is required to report any suspected abuse or neglect to law enforcement. With the increase of those who are going into nursing homes and the staggering costs of care, you could be judged to have not cared for your child or elderly parent regardless of the extreme difficulties in doing so. If taking care of their finances, you could be charged with theft or Medicaid fraud if you cannot account for the use of these funds. If you are charged with or being investigated for this type of crime, contact the Mackey Law Firm where “experience counts”.
INTERNET CRIME
Internet crime allegations can range from possession of child pornography to downloading of copyrighted video and music. A conviction of such an offense can result in a criminal history that can ruin your career.
Law enforcement and colleges/universities (in disciplinary actions) perpetuate the fraud that anything downloaded from the Internet to your “IP number” is considered proof that you are the perpetrator of the illegal download. Federal civil and crime litigation has exploded in this area.
The Mackey Law Firm with technical expertise (Mackey was an electrical engineer before becoming an attorney) will dispel the erroneous conclusion that such is the case. Don’t hesitate to see that “experience counts” at the Mackey Law Firm when you are confronted with this type of allegation.
Contact the Mackey Law Firm because you are under the law presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
