THE BOSE LAW FIRM TEAM EXPLAINED
The Bose Law Firm team understands the mindset of the Police officer, Prosecutor, and the Prosecutor's Expert Toxicologist.

 

Former Police Officers

Bose employs former police officers  to analyze police procedure and form unique defenses based on years of experience.

POINTS OF DISTINCTION 

In an effort to emulate our expertise in the realm of DUI/RD defense, some law firms have structured "Of Counsel" agreements with attorneys who are former military police officers.  These "Of Counsel" agreements are basically subcontractor agreements formed between a law firm and a solo practitioner (one person practice) not associated directly with the firm.  "Of Counsel" attorneys have their own clients and serve only a portion of their practice time as subcontractors to the law firm claiming them as "Of Counsel."  Bose attorneys are not subcontractors; they are employees of the Firm with only one set of clients and only one focus - a Bose Law Firm client's best interest. 

Bose Law Firm employs a former Virginia Fairfax County police officer.  For DUI and Reckless driving cases, the experience of former Virginia police officers is valuable.

One of Virginia's self-proclaimed "largest" firms (with only a handful of DUI/RD lawyers amongst a sea of civil attorneys) now highlights that its Constitutional Attorney is a 2007 graduate of the Arlington County Citizen Police Academy.  Clients, with their security clearances and livelihoods at risk, know and research professionals.  They are not easily fooled or impressed. 

When one speaks with a Bose Law Firm attorney, one knows he is speaking with a person with authority.  When one interacts with a Bose Law Firm attorney, one immeditely senses the years of experience and dedicated advocacy.  To this end, Bose Law Firm attorneys are available for telephone consultations without charge.

Bose Law Firm is proud of its heritage, lineage and trust amongst a very small community of attorneys, police officers and highly discerning professionals who chose Bose Law Firm as their attorneys of choice.   

Query: Did the police properly pace you in your Virginia reckless driving case pursuant to academy standards?  Did the police properly conduct the Virginia DUI field sobriety tests? 

Former Virginia Private Investigators

Bose lawyers include a former private investigator  with unique talent in investigating crimes, testifying in trials and understanding the criminal justice system.

POINTS OF DISTINCTION 

Some law firms hire private investigators to assist in cases and charge these subcontractor/third party fees to the client.  Bose does not hire outside personnel.  Again, the focus is to contain all information in-house and maintain a high level of nexus to the core competencies within the Firm. 

Query: Does the witness in your Virginia DUI accident case have convictions which impede his level of truthfulness?  Are there witnesses with exculpatory evidence in your Virginia DUI accident case?  Did the police get the facts right in your Virginia reckless driving case? 

Former Prosecutors Bose Law Firm® lawyers  include a former prosecutor who has handled felonies and misdemeanors on behalf of the Government.  This experience is indispensable in understanding the mind set of the attorney who will prosecute the case.

Query:  How will the prosecutor's office polices and state mandates affect your disposition?  Was the prosecutor taught the latest scientific defenses in her yearly Assistant Commonwealth Attorney seminars? 

Former Scientist

Bose lawyers  include counsel with training in advanced chemistry, physiology, biology at the university level.  This experience leads to a very careful analysis of complex chemical evidence, testing procedures and protocols. 

POINTS OF DISTINCTION 

Having a scientist with high level university training is not necessary for all DUI cases.  However, it is indispensible in cases when the prosecutor calls its Richmond, Virginia based Expert Toxicologist - the Breath Section Chief for the Division of Forensic Science.  If there is a trial in one's DUI case and if the science of the blood or breath is attacked by the defense, there is a high probability of the government calling the Breath Section Chief to tender expert testimony.  Knowledge is power - particularly in the sciences.

Query:  Will your atkins diet influence the production of ketones and thus enhance your blood alcohol and thus the facts of your Virginia DUI case?  Will the procedure implemented by the registered nurse in extracting your blood in your Virginia DUI case influence the results? 

Lecturers and Professors 

Bose Law Firm® attorneys teach other lawyers and police officers various areas of criminal law, DUI defense and criminal procedure.  Further, Bose lawyers teach police officers in various forums and are lecturers and professors in local colleges. 

POINTS OF DISTINCTION 

Bose attorney Thaddeus Furlong teaches in the F.B.I. Academy.  The distinction is one of honor and prestige.

The Bose Law Firm® achieves its ends for clients quietly and with great discretion.  Indeed, Bose Law Firm® clients are professionals experienced in choosing high-level attorneys for their private matters.  Bose Law Firm® clients understand communication and the subtle distinctions between attorneys - those seeking fleeting moments of fame and the true pillars of the legal community.  Bose Law Firm® attorneys are practitioners of the law - not commentators on the law.  Bose Law Firm® attorneys, as a policy, are discouraged from commenting on cases in which the Firm is uninvolved.  Commentaries and press releases are distributed solely for cases in which the Firm is retained, with a watchful eye on the privacy interests of the client, and only when it advances the legal interests of the client.  Experience, Sophistication and Calculation over Pervasive Media.

POINTS OF DISTINCTION: The Largest Firms Myth: As stated above, some firms, for a marketing edge employ subcontractors into their practices.  The label of "Of Counsel" as opposed to "Associate" are basic subcontractor agreements.  These "Of Counsel" lawyers have their own practices outside of the firm, their own staff, their own business model and perform services part-time for the firms with whom they hold the title "Of Counsel."  In reviewing a firm's true size, one must to careful to review the number of actual associates (attorneys with a W-2 from the firm) as opposed to "Of Counsel."   Most of the self-proclaimed "largest firms" have no more than 10-15 Associates at any one time - and only a handful of these attorneys are experienced DUI/RD lawyers.  Indeed, for a list of the largest law firms in the U.S., review http://www.ilrg.com/nlj250/.  Point of Interest: Most of the truly large law firms do not have DUI/RD Law Divisions - the partners from these firms routinely refer cases to the attorneys of the Bose Law Firm®.
