California DUI Attorneys Commended by ABA Journal
DUI DWI Laws
California DUI lawyer Lawrence Taylor, known nationally as the "Dean of DUI Defense," has been recognized along with his firm of DUI attorneys in the American Bar Association Journal (vol.1, issue 47) for their expertise and specialization.
In an article titled "MADD and MADDer: Today's DUI Defense Bar Is More Focused and Aggressive Than Ever Before," the ABA Journal observed:
The tremendous success of Mothers Against Drunk Driving and other groups in their campaigns for tougher drunken driving laws and increased law enforcement has led to an inevitable backlash. It comes in the form of a highly specialized, sophisticated and Aggressive DUI defense bar that specializes in representing drivers charged with driving under the influence...
Interviewed by the Journal, the California DUI attorney, author of the best-selling legal treatise Drunk Driving Defense, explained the changing nature of the DUI defense field:
"Ours is a unique field because a lawyer's job is usually to blow Smoke and create reasonable doubt," says Lawrence Taylor, one of California's more successful DUI lawyers. "Defense attorneys are expected to do that, but what I find nice about DUI work is that we get to wear white hats - though maybe not in the eyes of a judge or jury or MADD. But we're trying to find the truth."

Grounds for Divorce in Ohio - Sylkatis Law, LLC
A divorce in Ohio is filed when there is typically “fault” by one of the parties and party not at “fault” seeks to end the marriage. A court in Ohio may grant a divorce for the following reasons:
• Willful absence of the adverse party for one year
• Adultery
• Extreme cruelty
• Fraudulent contract
• Any gross neglect of duty
• Habitual drunkenness
• Imprisonment in a correctional institution at the time of filing the complaint
• Procurement of a divorce outside this state by the other party
Additionally, there are two “no-fault” basis for which a court may grant a divorce:
• When the parties have, without interruption for one year, lived separate and apart without cohabitation
• Incompatibility, unless denied by either party
However, whether or not the the court grants the divorce for “fault” or not, in Ohio the party not at “fault” will not get a bigger slice of the marital property.
