Your case will be handled like a prosecutor - in an aggressive, systematic and logical manner.
____________________________________________ - If your personal injury case involves a drunk driver, it is critical that you have a former prosecutor handle your case. As part of your case, your lawyer will need to introduce evidence of the responsible driver's blood alcohol level. The rules of evidence that apply to the introduction of the blood alcohol level in an injury case and the same rules that apply in a criminal case. Many lawyers have trouble with this law. However, Mr. Manikas handled thousands of DWI/DUI prosecutions as a prosecutor and has extensive experience dealing with blood alcohol evidence.
