If you have ever been charged for driving while intoxicated, then you will find it easier to relate with what I am writing about here. There is that dreaded feeling (mostly fear) when an officer stops you and tells you to get out of the car. The tests that you are subjected to, and probably the hours that you might spend in jail altogether make it a very harrowing experience. I got pulled over once, after leaving a party with some friends, and somehow I managed to convince the policeman that I was fully in control of my actions. The guy looked quite stern and I didn't even want to think of what would have happened if I had been arrested. It wasn't funny, and after that, I made sure I didn't end up driving after drinking. It constitutes a big hazard.
DWI is an offence for which thousands of people are arrested every year, and without the proper representation, they could lose their licences, pay heavy fines, and even serve jail time. Coupled with the highly technical nature of the offence and the way prosecutions are carried out, it is necessary to have a competent team of lawyers representing you.
A firm like McConathy & McConathy is a good example of a dedicated DWI defense firm. They have been in business since 1976, and have an impressive record of succesfully defending 91% of the cases they have worked on. The fort worth dwi lawyers have over 30 years of experience, and have dedicated most of their attention to dwi defence.
Definitely not a bad deal, in my opinion.

This is for freelancers
Hi there. I've been off the blogosphere for a couple of weeks. I just changed my service provider so at least my internet service is more stable. There are so many things to talk about. So much has happened in the last one week. Let's see...where do I start?
Today, we'll take a look at freelancing. Freelancers are people who offer their services to employers or clients without having a long term commitment. Most times they charge by the hour, day or per job.
Once in a while, someone decides to take the plunge and leave the security of a regular job for a career as a freelancer. Freelancing is gradually becoming a popular option these days. Granted, it has its ups and downs, but it is a brave step and to be successful, one needs all the advice and goodwill you can get.
There are some good sites which offer job opportunities to freelancers, and also enable job providers to list job opportunities. Some of these sites are:
getafreelancer.com
RentACoder - Here you can bid on coding jobs and get paid when you fulfill the job requirements.
iFreelance - This is another site with many earning opportunities for programmers, web designers and graphic artists.
Elance - A very popular site, elance has a wide range of job offerings like writing, web development, graphics, etc.
Working on your own terms, while making some good money is every freelancer's dream. However, it can also be a frustrating experience. There are several factors which you should consider before going into freelancing. Here are some simple tips:

- Pick the right time to make your move into freelancing (i.e. dont just quit your job in a hurry)
- Establish a niche for yourself
- Don't start a business immediately, study the whole process well
- Set up a good working environment. Your working space should be comfortable, even if though you work from home
- Get a good accountant/accounting system
- Draw up a pricing scheme so that you won't be underpaid
- Improve your knowledge or skills (It's highly competitive out there)
- Get familiar with the legal issues in your area of business as a freelance
