New Legislation That Seeks To Impose Child Support Upon Those Convicted Of Vehicular Homicide By DUI Is The Topic Of Discussion Between DUI Attorney, Jonathan Rands And Dillon Honcoop On This Edition Of The Legal Docket.
12/4/2011At the time of this show the news was reporting that a new DUI legislative bill was afoot and becoming popular. The Bill included other new DUI laws, but the notion of awarding child and/or alimony support for the family of victim killed by way of a DUI was the main subject of discussion. The Bill is being sponsored, or supported by Senator Goodman who has traditionally been the promoter and spokesperson and advocate for many of the most recent changes. While I neither advocate for, nor against this Bill at this time, nor on this show i do hope to inspire some rational and logical thinking of this Bill's long term ramifications. A "good idea" may be just that, an idea, as the practical applications are fraught with undesired and unintended consequences.

A DUI-Drug charge with evidence in the form of a 12 step evaluation is complicated, overwhelming, and involves a more specialized understanding of the DUI law then a alcohol DUI, due to the DRE program that an officer utilizes.

Jonathan Rands has completed training in this specialized area, and has handled dozens of DUI-Drugs cases and achieved successful outcomes in each and every case.
