RALEIGH, NC, February 08, 2012 (Press-News.org) Raleigh criminal lawyer Damon Chetson announced the launch of new online North Carolina DWI case evaluation tool designed to provide customized answers based on responses users provide.
The tool, developed after countless of research, allows people who are concerned about North Carolina DWI charges to select various options based, and produces a case review based on those answers and based on current North Carolina law.
"The tool is not meant to replace a Raleigh DWI lawyer," said Mr. Chetson, who practices DWI and criminal law in Wake County. "However, when someone has questions in the middle of the night and can't reach a lawyer on the spot, the tool can provide some basic answers to questions about North Carolina drunk driving law."
The free tool, available at The Chetson Firm's Criminal Law website, allows users to indicate, for instance, whether they were stopped for a traffic violation, or whether they submitted to a breathalyzer test, or whether they got into an accident.
Based on these, and several dozen other questions, the tool provides a free, confidential report based on current North Carolina law.
"Many people aren't aware of just how harsh a North Carolina DWI can be," said Mr. Chetson.
"For instance, someone convicted of a DWI that occurred after December 2011, may be placed in jail for at least 30 days if there was a person under 18 in the vehicle at the time of the offense."
The tool also helps people understand how certain factors might affect them at sentencing. For instance, the tool provides information on North Carolina's Interlock requirement, which requires anyone convicted of a DWI where the blood alcohol concentration was a .15 or above to have a breath-monitor device in their car for at least a year.
"The tool should not replace a lawyer," said Mr. Chetson. "If they they choose not to hire us or another lawyer, a person charged with a Raleigh DWI would be silly to rely upon this tool, or any other information on the internet."
Mr. Chetson said that he had already received positive feedback about the tool.
"I think people will enjoy the ease of use, and the confidentiality," Mr. Chetson said. "Information is not shared with anyone but The Chetson Firm, and we don't contact people unless they request a call or email."
Disclaimer: While The Chetson Firm works hard to achieve the best possible results in every case it handles, no outcome can be guaranteed. Past results do not guarantee future results. Each case is different. If you are facing a criminal investigation or arrest, seek the immediate assistance of a criminal lawyer licensed in your state. The Chetson Firm's lawyers are licensed to practice in the state courts of North Carolina and in the federal courts of the Eastern District of North Carolina.

2012-02-08
It has long been known that psychostimulant drugs have the paradoxical effect of reducing hyperactivity.

In Northern Ireland, political violence harms youths through families
2012-02-08
War, the aftermath of war, and political violence are harmful to children's and teens' mental health and well-being. But few studies have looked at how this happens. A new longitudinal study of neighborhoods in Belfast, Northern Ireland, has found that political violence affects children by upsetting the ways their families function, resulting in behavior problems and mental health symptoms among the youths over extended periods of time.
"Our findings suggest that working with families in communities affected by political violence may have long-term benefits for children ...
Playing school sports affects youths' smoking
2012-02-08
Young people's choices about using drugs and alcohol are influenced by peers—not only close friends, but also sports teammates.

The study was conducted at the University of Southern California (USC) and appears in the journal Child Development.
Researchers looked at 1,260 ethnically diverse, urban, middle-class sixth through eighth graders. They asked the students ...
Depression forecasts difficulties with peers in middle childhood
2012-02-08
Children who have difficult relationships with their peers can experience more psychological dysfunction, such as depression. But does the depression lead to youths' relationship problems, or do difficulties in the relationships provoke the depression? A new study of children in the middle years of childhood has found that depression forecasts problems in peer relationships, including being victimized by peers and problems being accepted by peers.
The study appears in the journal Child Development; it was conducted by researchers at Arizona State University and the University ...
Rothman at Jefferson research suggests abandon convention in diagnosing periprosthetic joint infection
2012-02-08
PHILADELPHIA -- In their search for new, better ways to diagnose periprosthetic joint infection, Rothman Institute at Jefferson researchers have discovered that measurement of C-reactive protein in the synovial fluid is extremely accurate, while measuring a patients’ serum white blood cell count (WBC) and the percentage of neutrophils (PMN%), the conventional method for diagnosis, has a minimal role in the determination of PJI.
The synovial fluid is the viscous liquid that lubricates the joints and feeds the cartilage.
"This research indicates that we may need to ...
