Criminal / DUI Defense














The Russian dissident Alexander Solzhenitzyn wrote:

"Arrest! Need it be said that it is a breaking point in your life, a bolt of lightning which has scored a direct hit on you? That it is an unassimilable spiritual earthquake not every person can cope with, as a result of which people often slip into insanity?

The Universe has as many different centers as there are living beings in it. Each of us is a center of the Universe, and that Universe is shattered when they hiss at you: “You are under arrest.”

If you are arrested, can anything else remain unshattered by this cataclysm?

But the darkened mind is incapable of embracing these dis­placements in our universe, and both the most sophisticated and the veriest simpleton among us, drawing on all life’s experience,
can gasp out only: “Me? What for?” . . .

That’s what arrest is: it’s a blinding flash and a blow which
shifts the present instantly into the past and the impossible into
omnipotent actuality.

That’s all. And neither for the first hour nor for the first day
will you be able to grasp anything else."
