6 Tips for Avoiding Driving Under the InfluenceIt’s summertime and this year more than ever people are ready to get back to celebrating. From backyard barbecues to weddings, graduations, birthdays, and anniversaries your social calendar is probably full. Now’s a good time to post a few tips on how to avoid driving under the influence. Drunk driving kills and injures thousands of people every year. One driving under the influence mistake can also ruin your professional life and cause great anguish to your family, not to mention serious injury to the driver and passengers. Below are some ways to avoid drinking and driving.

  1. If you know you are going out and there will be drinking, agree ahead of time on a designated driver who will commit to not drinking alcohol that night.
  2. Order non-alcoholic beverages. Many restaurants offer mocktails that are creative, flavorful, and served in the same fancy glasses as beverages with alcohol.
  3. Never get in the car with someone who has been drinking.
  4. If you find yourself in a situation where you have been drinking and there is no designated driver, call a taxi, Uber, or Lyft, take public transportation home, or ask if you can stay over if the party is in a home.
  5. If you do drink, do so responsibly. Pace your drinks, be sure to eat plenty of food, and drink lots of water. Don’t consume alcohol for at least two or three hours before you plan to get on the road.
  6. Prevent others from getting on the road drunk. If you are sober offer them a ride or call them a cab. If you can’t persuade them and can safely do so, take away their keys. The person may be angry with you now but will hopefully thank you in the morning.

From the very start of my case the Tiemann Law Firm was wonderful. Perter came all the way to my home to sit down and talk to me about my options. He made me and my partner feel very comfortable and promised us he would take the very best care of my case. Peter kept me informed every step of the way and was always on top of things. everything was done in a timely manor and I always felt like I was the only case he was working on because he was so fast. In the end Peter got me back way more money than I ever expected. I would recommend this law firm to everyone. I am very happy with the outcome of my case thanks to the Tiemann Law Firm! Thank you!

I just saw my lawyer Jelena Tiemann on a t.v ad, which reminded me how much she helped when I was in a desperate situation. I just love her! That is why I feel a need to tell everyone. I had a situation that happened & didn’t know what to do, our where to go. I didn’t even know if she could help me or if any lawyer could. All I wanted was it to go away & was afraid most lawyers wanted to drag it out & possibly go to court. For one she was very professional but was very personable (maybe b.c she’s a lady). She didn’t make me feel embarrassed or self-conscious that I did something wrong or was the cause of the situation. She immediately said we should try our best before going to court. Let me handle some paperwork, if at the last we do go to court we have documents. She gave me all the details, pros and cons but reassured me she deals with these cases all the time. She came through and made it as painless as possible. I now have my life back.
