Everyone wants to avoid criminal punishment and stay on the right side of the law. One thing that can make it difficult to comply with state laws is the fact that they change frequently. Several new laws in New Hampshire exist as of the beginning of 2019.
Drugged driving defenses have interesting options
While you might be tempted think about drunk driving as being related only to alcohol, this isn't at all the case. You can face these types of charges if your driving ability is impaired by other substances like legal medications or illegal drugs. It is imperative that you take the time to find out how anything you use or ingest is going to affect your abilities before you get behind the wheel.
Think about drug charge defenses before you head to court
Drug charges, including those for selling, can have negative impacts on your life. It is imperative that you take the time to learn about the options that you have when you are facing them. These can vary greatly and must be decided by looking at the circumstances of the case. We help our clients learn about the options and determine how to use the available components in a way that benefits your defense.
Domestic violence cases are often emotional and complex
Domestic violence is a serious act of violence against a family member or someone who lives in the same household as you. While it is possible that these charges are based on the wrong perception of a situation, you should still be prepared to present a defense against the claims of the prosecutor. There are several things that come into the picture for these cases.
Probation and parole violations can be hard to face
Probation and parole are alternatives to incarceration, but they aren't by any means free passes that don't involve punishment of any sort. For the people who are on the programs, there are lots of rules that have to be followed. Any deviation from these rules can result in further legal issues that can land them back in jail.
As a driver, do you understand what “implied consent” means?
Every state, including New Hampshire, has an implied consent law. You agree to abide by this law as soon as you apply for a driver’s license.
Increased patrols around New Year's aim to stop impaired drivers
Police departments around the nation are in the midst of the "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" campaign. This is a good time for people in New Hampshire to make plans for sober rides home on the New Year's Eve holiday. Police officers around Derry and elsewhere will be more watchful than usual for signs of impairment.
