Immigration attorney and activist Enid Gonzalez Aleman of Tucker & Associates PLLC has begun an awareness campaign to help educate Hispanic communities on the newly proposed DAPA and DACA immigration reforms.

Vienna, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/30/2015 -- In lieu of President Barack Obama's newly proposed immigration reforms, the law offices of Tucker & Associates PLLC has funded a local area radio tour featuring attorney and activist, Enid Gonzalez Aleman. The goal of the campaign is to educate Hispanic/Latino communities on the specific guidelines of the Deferred Action for Parental Accountability (DAPA) and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) programs. During her recent and upcoming speaking events attorney Aleman has covered a broad range of related topics including specific qualifying criteria, DAPA DUI, guidelines for the DACA program and general DAPA Immigration news.

The campaign will focus on both broadcast and print mediums. Established immigration attorney and notable Hispanic/Latino rights advocate, Enid Gonzalez Aleman's public debuts in on radio and in print have been received positively by both readers and listeners alike. To date, Ms. Aleman has made an appearance on the popular Spanish language broadcast, El Zol 107.9 FM - Poder 1030 AM and has additionally been the focus in an article featured in, El Tiempo Latino of the Washington Post.

Enid was chosen by the firm to participate in their awareness campaign as head spokesperson due to her outstanding professional history, in addition to a deep connection to the Hispanic/Latino community. According to Enid, many Hispanic/Latino communities struggle with developing trust with local immigration law firms in part due to language barriers. This harms the well-being of the individuals of these communities because they are sequestered from more reliable resources.

Enid believes that her selection as the campaigns spokesperson will help combat any reservations held by local Hispanic/Latino communities. It is her hopes that her standing as a credible immigration law professional who also speaks and writes in Spanish with native fluency, will encourage native Spanish speakers in local Hispanic/Latino communities to seek out the legal help they need and deserve. Enid is proud to represent Tucker & Associates PLLC, a firm that regularly demonstrates its investment in these communities by routinely generating and featuring useful legal content in Spanish. These materials are provided both in print and on the firm's website.

As the campaign moves forward, Enid, with help from Tucker & Associates PLLC hope to have a positive effect in local communities by providing useful information during a critical time.

Tucker & Associates PLLC warns Maryland clients of recent Supreme Court decision that evidence seized during a traffic stop that originally occurred due to an officer's misunderstanding of the law.

Vienna, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/29/2015 -- Recently, the Supreme Court has ruled that evidence found during a traffic stop occurring due to a misunderstanding of the law is still valid for use in court. Tucker & Associates PLLC has seen a large influx of cases from the State or Maryland. Drivers who are wrongfully stopped for traffic violations such as driving without a license in Maryland or other common infractions are at risk. A review of the firm's website analytics confirmed the rise of clients charged with traffic penalties in Maryland. Records included dozens of variations for Maryland traffic violations such as "reckless driving maryland" or "speeding in Maryland".

The Supreme Court reached its decision over a case involving a man who was wrongfully pulled over in North Carolina and was then subsequently charged with drug trafficking due to the evidence that was found in his car during the stop. The driver was operating a vehicle that only had one working break light. After the motorist was pulled over for the brake light, a subsequent search revealed a significant amount of narcotics in the driver's possession.

The defense's argument was that the charge would never have been issued if it were not for the incorrect interpretation of the law by the NC police officer. According to North Carolina traffic law, a vehicle is only required to have one fully operational break light. This means that the motorist was initially pulled over without having committed an official traffic violation.

The court agreed that the driver of the vehicle did not break any traffic laws however, Chief Justice John Roberts affirmed that the officer's misunderstanding was "reasonable". This means that although the office was initially incorrect, it was not an incompetent mistake. Furthermore, the charge of drug trafficking that was later assigned did not involve any misinterpretation of the law.

Tucker and Associates PLLC has a history of educating clients on traffic laws in the areas the firm serves. However, due to the high volume of Maryland clients charged with traffic violations, Tucker and Associates PLLC has put a special emphasis of ensuring its Maryland clientele are well aware of the new interpretation of traffic law due to the Supreme Court's decision.

Tucker & Associates PLLC helps spread awareness of Maryland’s new DUI/DWI law for repeat offenders. The firm has warned clients and the general public of the law’s new and stricter penalties.

Vienna, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/18/2014 -- Tucker & Associates PLLC, a Maryland law firm that provides DUI/DWI defense services has publicy urged residents of Maryland to be aware that Maryland Senate's Bill 87 on drunk driving has been in effect since October 1, 2014 and carries harsher penalties for repeat DUI/DWI offenses. Tucker & Associates PLLC believes that any practicing Maryland dui defense lawyer is responsible for spreading awareness of this new traffic law.

Senate Bill 87 specifically outlines penalties for repeat DUI/DWI offenses. The new and harsher penalties designates that any repeat offender will be required to serve a full year's suspension or be required to participate in the ignition interlock program for a full year. Senate Bill 87 is just one of several new traffic laws that has been implemented by the state government.

Many professionals in the legal field are not surprised that Senate Bill 87 was passed with little debate. DUI/DWI offenses are a well recognized public safety issue in the US, and Maryland has experienced tragic losses along with other states. Senate Bill 87 has already received positive support from the public.

Some attribute positive public opinion of Senate Bill 87 in part to recent high profile DUI arrests such as Olympic swimmer, Michael Phelps. Phelps was arrested in Baltimore on September 30^th, 2014 for his second drunk driving offense. Phelp's arrest occurred just one day before Senate bill 87 was put into effect. Phelps' trial date for his latest DUI arrest is Nov. 19.

Although DUI/DWI offenses have always been a serious discussion in public discourse, DUI/DWI offenses commited by public icons such as Phelps help bring more attention to repeat DUI/DWI offenses - a more specific DUI/DWI offense apart from a one time offense.

The effectiveness of Sebate Bill 87 still remains to be seen as the law is still very new. It is the hope of the Maryland state government that these new harsher penalties for repeat DUI/DWI offenses will help to deter individuals from driving under the influence.

Tucker & Associates PLLC helps spread awareness of DUI offense in Virginia by supporting the newly relased Virginia Faces of Drunk Driving website.

Vienna, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/27/2014 -- Tucker & Associates PLLC, a Virginia law firm that provides DUI/DWI Defense services has been spreading awareness of deaths caused by DUI/DWI accidents by directing clients to the new Virginia Faces of Drunk Driving website. The Virginia Faces of Drunk Driving website was launched as a public awareness campaign in September 2014. The firm believes that it is the duty of any Virginia DUI defense lawyer to help disseminate awareness of the campaign.

Drunk driving has been a discussion in national public discourse well before 2014. In recent years, state legislatures have been enforcing more stringent DUI/DWI laws in hopes of deterring drunk drivers.

Virginia has been noted as being particularly strict on DUI/DWI offenders. However, in 2013, research has revealed that the state's drunk driving epidemic is still severe. Last year, the state saw the first increase in fatalities caused by drunk driving in six years (Virginia.gov, last accessed 10/19/14).

In response to this sobering statistic, Terry McAuliffe, the Governor of Virginia has assumed a leadership role in promoting the new awareness campaign. He has assumed strong anit-drunk driving messaging. Recently, the governor publicly stated. "Given that drunk driving is a 100% preventable crime, even one death is too many." (augustafreepress.com, last accessed 10/19/2014).

The website serves a dual purpose by both spreading awareness of the severity of DUI fatalies in Virginia, while also providing a form of bereavement for familes who have lost a loved one due to a drunk driving accident. The website features stories and photos of real individuals who were killed by a driver who was operating the vehicle under the influence. The site has gained strong support from the public, although there is a minority of online bloggers who consider the site to be too graphic in it's appeal.

Leaderhip at Tucker & Associates PLLC have recognized the value of this campaign and have directed some clients towards the website as motivation for not becoming a repeat DUI/DWI offender. Key individuals at the firm note that a public awareness campaign such as Virginia Faces of Drunk Driving can be a powerful tool in deterring drivers from operating their vehicles under the influence of alcohol and hope that this information can prevent future tragedies.
