Patrick T. Barone is a principal in the Barone Defense Firm, whose
practice is limited exclusively to defending the drunk driving accused. +Mr. Barone
has published several articles on trial practice and drunk driving defense tactics,
he has also lectured on these topics, and has appeared on television as a drunk driving
defense expert.+ In addition, Mr. Barone has formed a statewide network and participates
in a National network of other DUI practitioners in order to exchange and share information
about new DUI laws, National and local trends in the law, and trial tactics.+ The Firm has
associates throughout the State, and they represent clients in all the Courts in Lower Michigan.
The DWI Journal: Law & Science is published monthly, and is written for and subscribed to by attorneys who are determined to win their client's DWI cases. The Journal's editorial board includes many of America 's leading attorneys and forensic scientists practicing in the DWI field today.
After a national search by the publisher Mr. Barone was selected as the new author of this well known and very well respected legal treatise. He will begin as the new author with the publication of the 2006 supplement. The work's previous author, John A. Tarantino is known throughout the country as one of the nation's true champion's of the drunk driving accused.
Unlike the legal treatise "Defending Drinking Drivers" which was written as a research and reference tool for lawyers, The DUI Book was written for the DUI accused. In fact, The DUI Book is the first book of its kind to comprehensively cover the topic of drunk driving from the perspective of the drunk driving accused. The DUI Book is easy to read, and should quickly become the indispensable handbook for those accused of drunk driving.
