After a heated discusion with his ex-wife, Flagstaff, Arizona DUI lawyer Eric Manning threw his cell phone out his car window and struck an Arizona State Police car’s windshield. The impact was hard enough to crack the police cruiser’s windshield which lead to Manning being immediately pulled over.

The impact of the phone caused the officer to swerve and nearly hit the car directly behind Manning. Manning was arrested for felony reckless endangerment which can bring a jail sentence of up to 10 years. It is not the first time Manning has been arrested for a crime. In 1983 he spent 30 days in jail for a domestic violence offense. He was reportedly caught beating his ex-wife outside his lawyers office in Scottsdale.

I don’t care how good of a DUI lawyer Manning is I don’t think he is going to get out of this one.

New York DWI attorney Paz Spelman was returning home one afternoon last month with a friend when he crashed into the back of another car. The friend later admitted to police that the two where playing games in the car while traveling across town.

Earlier in the day the two men had attended a auto insurance seminar for all the attorneys at his Law firm. It was suppose to be a refresher course for the Law firms thirty plus employees to keep up with changing auto insurance and DWI laws said Spelman.

The insurance company refused to pay after receiving the police report containing the admission of the passenger to playing games while driving.

Spelman said “My Law firm and I plan to fight their decision for as long as it takes to get it overturned”. The combined cost of the accident was estimated at $34,000. The majority of the cost was to repair Spelman’s custom 2007 Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
