The use of dogs in law enforcement became widespread in the United States during the 1970s. Since then, they have become one of the primary tools police officers use to detect illegal substances. However, the Supreme Court ruled that the way police departments sometimes used their canines was unconstitutional. Read our recent blog to learn more:

When The Canine Comes: Temporary Detention Is Unconstitutional
Every year, approximately 10,000 Americans die in traffic collisions that were caused by drunk driving. Though this figure is certainly lower than it once was, a team of researchers from The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine believes that it can reduce the number of these "entirely preventable" fatalities even further.

This week alone, we've had multiple consultations with people furious about getting mailed solicitations from OTHER lawyers. The once prospective clients, now SZA clients, wanted to know how on earth lawyers got their info to flood them with mail, which was seen by people they did not want to know their most sensitive business. Each time I'd ask them to hop onto youtube for an explanation. Two of them, floored by what they saw, said, "you need to make sure people know about this." I promised I would, as I have many times before. Here you go H.B. and T.R. - as promised. "if you don't know, now you know." D.Z.

Happy 15 year anniversary to Dave Z. from the SZA team. David prides himself on "discipline over desire," a phrase that he claims to have coined. He believes that consistency is one of the most important human traits. At 41 years old, there are very few things that David has done for 15-year clips. Married in 2007 and becoming a father in 2013, it is only his work at SZA, and his pursuits in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, that have been present, as a constant, for over a quarter of his life. When asked how he feels about this durational achievement, he smirked and quoted one of his idols in saying "I'm not surprised." Happy Anniversary DZ!!
Happy President's Day!
If you find yourself out of luck this St. Patrick’s Day and have been handed a DUI instead of a pot of gold, contact your friends that defend at SZA! Stay safe out there! https://www.szafirm.com/contact-us/
It is a sad fact that DUI accidents and arrests spike on many American holidays. St. Patrick's day is undoubtedly one of them. Be sure to have a designated driver if you are partaking, and always remember that we are available 24/7 should you find yourself in need.
