The Recipe For Success In DUI/OVI Trials

Last week, I attend the annual DUI seminar presented by the National College for DUI Defense (NCDD) and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL). I attend the seminar nearly every year, mostly because it’s a great seminar, and partly because it’s held in Las Vegas. Before this year’s seminar, I decided I would do something different. Although it violates the rule about what happens in Vegas, I’m sharing it here.

Before the seminar, I decided I would spend a little less time in the casinos and a little more time in nature. I rented a car, researched hiking opportunities, downloaded hiking trails, and planned a day trip at the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. Then, the federal government shut-down began one day before my trip to Red Rock. It was like the movie Vacation when the Griswold family arrived at Wally World to find out it was closed. There were park rangers at the park entrances turning people away because there were no funds to pay the park rangers. The irony, of course, was that the rangers were working to tell people the park was closed. So, I found a nearby state park and was able to hike in Red Rock Canyon after all. The scenery was great, and the hike was memorable.
