Authors of DWI books deserve the thanks and respect of other DUI attorneys

While most DWI lawyers learn the law from manuals written by attorney-authors like San Antonio DWI Attorney Kyle Simpson, San Diego DUI Lawyer Larry Taylor, and Michigan DUI Lawyer Patrick Barone add so much value to the profession for thousands of other DUI attorneys around the country by distilling thousands of statutes, administrative codes, cases and scientific articles down to a practical and useable volume.

While many lawyers pretend to be self-made experts on the subject, the attorney who write these books actually provide all other DUI attorneys a crutch by which to build their expertise and practice.

To these, and other lawyers who take the time to share their knowledge with fellow professionals, I want to say thank you. I also want to encourage other lawyers who rely on these books to give credit where it is due.

These attorney authors aren't typically the ones blogging and tooting their own horns. They are too busy serving their clients and writing supplements and new editions to their books. Instead of commenting on what others are doing, they are out there doing it.

Did you know that Lawrence Taylor's book was referenced as an authority by the California Supreme Court in an opinion? If the highest court in our largest state sees him as an authority on the subject, that's pretty much the best endorsement anybody facing a California DUI could ever want or need.

Attorneys like Kyle Simpson, who are younger and still building their practices deserve just as much credit. To find the time to run and build a private practice and also take the time to produce a superior product of statewide importance published by West is no easy feat and shows anybody seeking representation just how dedicated he is to the subject and the cause.
