Bush's DUI News Makes Criminal Defense Lawyer say "Don't Let It Happen To You"

Brockton MA -  November 7, 2000 News about George W. Bush's drunk driving conviction is making Brockton DUI & criminal defense lawyer  Russell Matson to warn people. Mr. Matson champions the cause of persons accused of drunk driving, and for years has preached one central message: "By pleading guilty to DUI/DWI, you never know when it will come back to haunt you."

"One thing that the news of Bush's 1976 DUI conviction does is to reinforce what I tell my clients ANYONE can be accused of drunk driving. Furthermore," Matson observed, "seeing the bombshell that this poses for the Bush campaign emphasizes what I tell clients either fight for your rights or live with the consequences FOREVER."

Matson also believes that "it will now be much easier to convince a middle manager or a corporate executive to fight for acquittal in light of this devastating disclosure," said the Brockton trial attorney.

"Attorney Don Nichols of Minneapolis used to teach young attorneys at seminars that 100% of the people accused of DUI who PLEAD guilty are FOUND guilty. The non-judicial consequences of a drunk driving conviction can follow a person to the grave", says Matson.

"George W. Bush will never be able to put this behind him. No matter if he seeks and obtains a pardon, who will ever forget this lightning bolt out of the blue? Certainly not me," said Matson. "This news will tell all of America that you don't want to drag this ball-and-chain behind you the rest of your life. Fight for your rights."
