A Great Lawyer Knows the Judge
2 Your lawyer must know the judge. He must know the judges proclivities about certain offenses and the probable sentence if the State proves their case.
Your lawyer can use the system to steer your case to the judge who has the greatest sympathy for your type of situation. No lawyer can actually pick the judge who will hear your case, but he can use the system in a way that best protects you.
Judges have a wide latitude and much discretion when it comes to sentencing. Judges have different beliefs when it comes to what is the appropriate sentence for a particular crime. One judge may believe a first time offender charged with theft should get a slap on the wrist and no criminal record attached to the person charged. Another might believe such a person should be branded as a thief so any future employer or security investigator will be aware of that persons character.

I GOT A SPEEDING TICKET. WHAT DO I DO NOW?
1 Its never advisable to go to court or any other legal proceeding without a lawyer there to represent your interests. For most of us the loss of a drivers license means a loss of income, employment, recreation, and other quality of life considerations. A single speeding ticket in and of itself will not directly cause your license to be suspended or revoked, but its effects could be much worse than you expect. Speeding is a moving violation and most automobile insurance contracts require moving violations to be reported. A moving violation may cause your rates to go up. Not a good thing. A lawyer can help you avoid points or maybe even avoid a conviction. more==>
AVOIDING A TRAFFIC STOP
2Just about every serious traffic charge begins with a traffic stop. It is illegal for the police to stop a vehicle on a whim or mere suspicion, however the legal reasons for stopping an automobile on the road are staggering in number. There are many steps you the driver can take to avoid the traffic stop. If you are legally stopped there are still many ways to avoid arrest, prosecution, and conviction. An experienced trial attorney is essential to protect your rights once you have been charged with an offense, but you will seldom have the advice of a lawyer between the time the police encounter you and you are charged with an offense. more==>
AVOIDING THE ARREST
3 Once you are pulled over by the police many things can happen, most of them bad. You might have a pleasant chat and be on your way. You could be arrested and taken to jail. Try to avoid the arrest. The alcohol drinker and driver should never travel without a non alcoholic breath spray, air freshener, and sunglasses. If you are suspected of DUI, DWI, Drunk Driving the first thing the officer is hoping to sense is blood shot eyes and the odor of alcohol. Of course, wearing sunglasses after sunset is only going to make the officer more suspicious. Be polite and cooperative, but only to a degree. Have your license and registration in your hand, out of your wallet or purse, and the window cracked enough to hand the paper work out. If the officer asks you to get out of your car ask why. If he tells you he suspects you of DUI, DWI, Drunk Driving and you have been drinking tell him you would like to speak to a lawyer first. Remember that only a few drinks of alcohol puts you over the legal limit in Maryland and most other jurisdictions.more==>
