Not Guilty Adams

The Law Office of Steven R. Adams Has Expanded

notguiltyadams — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 03:47:48 +0000

We are pleased to announce that the Law Office of Steven R. Adams has expanded our firm to provide legal assistance in family law matters. Attorney Marie Casteel (Ohio Divorce Diva) focuses primarily on family law issues and is dedicated to assisting her clients as they (and their families) face some of the most difficult issues of their lives. The manner in which these issues are resolved can impact the parties for years to come. When a divorce gets messy, the children suffer, the parents suffer, and the family as a whole suffers financially and emotionally. When parties are working through child custody issues, not only dos the quality of their child’s life hang in the balance, but so too does the quality of their parent-child relationships. When individuals seek to adopt or establish paternity, the very structure of their family is at issue, as well as their liberty to make parental choices.

At the Law Office of Steven R. Adams, we work to compassionately and aggressively represent our clients – to protect the sanctity of their life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. Family life is at the heart of each of those principles. That is why we are committed to representing our clients with the highest level of knowledge and commitment.

What do DUI, DWI, and OVI Mean?

notguiltyadams — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 14:42:14 +0000

As state laws regarding driving under the influence differ, so do the acronyms used to describe this offense. DUI (driving under the influence) and DWI (driving while intoxicated) are the most common acronyms associated with this. You can visit our DUI/DWI page to read other common terms used to describe driving under the influence (each term is broken down by state). Also, it’s important to understand the essentials of an OVI (Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated) arrest. Click here to read more.

DUI Checkpoints or Roadblocks in Cincinnati

notguiltyadams — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:05:20 +0000

DUI checkpoints or roadblocks involve law enforcement officials stopping vehicles on public roadways to check if the driver has been under the influence of alcohol. Roadblocks are usually setup at night or on weekends, when the number of impaired drivers tends to be the highest.

If a law enforcement official asks you to step out of the car and perform a field sobriety test or a breath alcohol test, you may refuse to take them. Read our DUI Top Ten lists to find out why it is important to refuse these tests.

By law, checkpoint locations have to be made available to the public. Cincinnati.com typically posts checkpoint information on Friday mornings.

2012 National College for DUI Defense Winter Session Recap

notguiltyadams — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 02:52:32 +0000

We were fortunate enough to attend the 2012 National College for DUI Defense Winter Session in Orlando, FL this week. We learned about everything we talk about in our DUI Top Ten lists. The speakers at the seminar were fantastic and it’s absolutely true that breath tests are unreliable. Top attorneys and forensic professionals also discussed how studies confirm that road-side field tests are flawed as there is no legitimate scientific validity in determining alcohol intoxication.

With that said, it’s important to remember to “choose to refuse” this weekend.

On Friday December 16th, DUI and Criminal Defense Attorneys Steve Adams and Bill Cunningham held a seminar called “What Every Civil Attorney Needs to Know About Criminal Law.”

There was a fantastic turnout and attendees had great things to say about how the seminar went. Here are a few of their rave reviews:

This seminar was absolutely the BEST professionalism, ethics and substance abuse seminar I have been to since I started attending them. Been practicing since 1986. Steve Adams’ business card will be copied and given to all my friends.

Steve, It was a great CLE – very engaging, and I learned a lot. Thanks for pulling together such a great package.

This was probably the most informative seminar that I have ever attended. Thank you Steve.
