Description:
Purpose: Repeat impaired-drivers resist successful rehabilitation. This paper describes and evaluates an innovative court-based intervention for repeat impaired-driving offenders, the driving under the influence (DUI) Intensive Supervision Program (DISP) developed in Multnomah County, Oregon. Methods: The hazard of re-offending was compared between DISP participants (N=460) and a comparison group (N=497). The stratified Cox proportional hazards model was used to model the hazard of re-offense, adjusting for matching criteria and stratified by county of residence. Results: Adjusted hazard of DUI re-offense for DISP participants was 0.52 that of comparison offenders (95% CI=0.36-0.76). DISP clients also had lower arrest rates for driving while revoked/suspended and for all other traffic offenses. Conclusion: Preliminary results suggest the DISP is an effective means of reducing recidivism among repeat impaired-driving offenders. rs. ... Read more

Not very helpful
I was recently arrested for a DUI in California and as such have been doing a lot of research on the internet to determine what plan of action I should take. This book basically spells out much of the info I have found for free on lawyers websites. I would not recommend purchasing this book, rather spend some time on Google and get as many free consultations with DUI Lawyers as possible.

TALK IS CHEAP...UNLESS YOU'RE TALKING TO A LAWYER!

A penny saved is a penny earned. More than two-hundred years have passed since Benjamin Franklin uttered this famous phrase, yet the words still ring true today. Perhaps this explains why we search high and low to find the loan with the lowest interest rate, the realtor with the smallest commission structure and the bank with the fewest fees.

The need to wisely save (and wisely spend) money is never more true than in tough economic times.Ironically, it is in tough economic times when we find ourselves having to spend money where we wish we did not -- on legal help.

Most attorneys, myself included, spend a lot of time explaining “the law” to clients who are seeking advice, but very few of my colleagues spend any time explaining how the client can avoid paying unnecessary attorney's fees and costs over the course of their representation.

I've compiled ten money-saving techniques in this book to help teach potential clients where to look for money-saving opportunities within their own attorney-client relationship. By putting these techniques into practice, those in need of legal representation may easily save hundreds, and possibly thousands, in unnecessary legal fees and costs.

The principles contained in How to Outsmart Your Attorney and Save Money on Your Bill can be applied to virtually any attorney-client relationship, be it business, civil, personal injury, corporate law, contract negotiation, matrimonial and family law, or criminal defense -- you name it. Even those litigants who hire one of those lawyers who promise, “If We Don't Win, You Don't Pay!” can benefit from the skills to be learned in this book because, what those lawyers don't tell you, is that you, the client, WILL PAY costs - not fees - even if you and your lawyer lose the case! To the unsuspecting client, costs can really add up. Until now, that is.

Most attorneys charge upward of $250 per hour for their time (double that if your lawyer is located in a big city, and triple it if your big-city lawyer never met a camera she didn't like) If my readers use any of the techniques to shave as little as one hour of attorney time off their bills, this book will pay for itself several times over!

No matter how rich or poor a person may be, legal representation can be both exceptionally good and affordable. There is no need to compromise one for the other. I hope attorneys and their prospective clients alike will benefit from the techniques contained in this book. ... Read more
