"Beat the Rap" takes a person step-by-step through the entire process from the police stop through a drunk driving trial. Everything in-between explains in plain and simple language the many ways to "Beat the Rap". I have spoken to several people who used the book, and they were able to educate their lawyer about the subject. Everyone should own this book as preventive medicine.

This review is from: Drunk Driving Defense: How to Beat the Rap (Paperback)

I was recently arrested for a DUI in California and as such have been doing a lot of research on the internet to determine what plan of action I should take. This book basically spells out much of the info I have found for free on lawyers websites. I would not recommend purchasing this book, rather spend some time on Google and get as many free consultations with DUI Lawyers as possible.
