"WORK HARD, PLAY BY THE RULES, NEVER QUIT!"
View Article  A New Year Toast from Charles M. Rowland II

And ye, who have met with Adversity's blast,
And been bow'd to the earth by its fury;
To whom the Twelve Months, that have recently pass'd
Were as harsh as a prejudiced jury -
Still, fill to the Future! and join in our chime,
The regrets of remembrance to cozen,
And having obtained a New Trial of Time,
Shout in hopes of a kindlier dozen.


~Thomas Hood

We, as criminal defense lawyers, are forced to deal with some of the lowest people on earth, people who have no sense of right and wrong, people who will lie in court to get what they want, people who do not care who gets hurt in the process.  It is our job- our sworn duty as crimial defense attorneys- to protect our client from these people.

Christmas… that magic blanket that wraps itself about us, that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance -- a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved.

Charles M. Rowland II is a proud affiliate of www.DUI-Web.com.  DUI-WEB is an association of qualified DUI/DWI defense attorneys who will vigorously defend your case and protect your rights.

If you have been arrested for Driving Under the Influence (DUI), Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) or a similar offense, it is imperative that you retain a qualified DUI/DWI defense attorney immediately. Drunk driving laws are state specific and vary state by state. If you have been arrested and charged with a DUI/DWI related offense the consequences can change your life.

Almost every alcohol driving related offense includes the suspension of your driver’s license. In most states this will occur even if the criminal charges are dropped or if you are eventually acquitted of the offense in court, because almost every DUI/DWI arrest becomes two separate cases. There is the criminal case, which can result in criminal penalties including fines, community service or even jail time. There is also what is called the administrative case, which deals solely with your privilege to drive. The legal standards are different for each case and it is possible to lose your driver’s license even if you win your criminal case.

As soon as you are arrested and charged with an alcohol related offense the state is in the process of taking away your driver’s license. That is why it is so important to contact a qualified attorney immediately. Don’t let a lapse in judgment change your life forever. Contact a DUI-WEB attorney to get started preserving your rights today.

Ambien and Sleepwalking Risk

Tuesday, March 14, 2006 (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/13/AR2006031301315.html)

· Sleep researchers have reported an unusual number of incidents of sleepwalking in people taking Ambien, the top-selling sleep aid in the U.S. The Food and Drug Administration has received similar reports. Some incidents involve eating or driving while asleep; some have led to criminal charges. No conclusive link between the drug and the incidents has been established.

· Ambien maker Sanofi-Aventis says the side effect is rare and the medication is safe and effective when used as directed. The label strongly cautions patients not to use alcohol while taking the drug.

· Sleep specialists recommend patients seeking treatment for sleep problems discuss concerns with a physician and consider non-drug treatments first. They advise people taking Ambien be alert to the risk of sleepwalking incidents and to report all side effects to their doctor.
