It’s commonly known and understood that going to jail is bad. It is not a fun time, it is not a critically acclaimed Netflix show, and it is not something that anyone wants to experience firsthand unless it’s one of those swanky Swedish prisons with TVs in the cells. In the same obvious vein, the [...]
Pop culture and media as a whole affects how we see the world more than you may think. I don’t just mean subjecting every citizen to as much information on celebrities’ personal lives as possible, either. Fiction — in all forms — is a great genre for myriad of reasons, but especially for its ability [...]
When you’re arrested and charged with a crime, no one gives you a manual about what to actually expect. There’s no pamphlet waiting for you in the back of the cop car titled, “So, Ya Got Caught Driving Drunk.” Aside from your actual legal counsel, you are not actively given much information at all about [...]
People tend to think of themselves as invincible right up until they’re proven not to be. Being charged with a crime is one of those sobering moments. Anyone, no matter how innocent or pure or good, can be accused of a crime. When the crime is something like domestic violence, the odds are against you [...]
Remember a time before text messaging? Remember when emails and AIM chatrooms were the height of modern technological communication, and our phones only had buttons to dial numbers on? Remember…landlines? Yeah. We may romanticize the past now, with a new smartphone coming out (and later breaking) every other month or so, but not a lot [...]
So we all know what the breath test is for drinking and driving, right? There’s the roadside test (or preliminary breath test – PBT) and then there’s the big boy Intoxilyzer (or Intoximeter, depending on how many news toys the local cops have) that you get down at the station to see if you’re actually [...]
No one expects to need a lawyer, but no one expects to get charged with a DUI either (I assume). Life happens. The unpredictable happens. Whether a genuine mistake borne from an addiction or another example of overzealous cops trying to meet an arrest quota, it can and does happen to everyday people just like [...]
While many sexually transmitted diseases/infections are curable — or at least treatable — they still cause a lot of pain, suffering, and embarrassment, and the more serious of them can and do take lives. We know this, right? Every sexually active adult is (or should be) aware of the risks of unprotected sex so they [...]
With what seems like a new legal state every day, folks in Maryland are getting a little bit antsy about the lack of recreational marijuana. Almost all our neighbors get to enjoy it, after all. Why not us? We’re nice people; we deserve nice weed without the added prison. As we collectively get more and [...]
Nothing like a widely-televised, ultra-public trial that probes deep into the intimate personal lives of beloved celebrities to bring a country together, right? Is that how the saying goes? If you’ve been anywhere near the internet in the past few months, you have undoubtedly heard (pun unintended…mostly) of the defamation trial between Amber Heard and [...]
Drew has helped me out several times over the years. He has a high standard of professionalism, and is also highly personable. He has given me some of the best guidance and also referrals. I also refer Mr. Cochran to anyone ever in need.
