This Week at Weber Kracht and Chellew | 12.20.2014

December 19, 2014 By WKCLawBlog

Weekly Wrap-up image

This week we debuted our “Word of the Month.” It’s something we’ve done for quite a while here in the office and now we share it with you. The word for December is “Exuberant.”

Exuberant

What comes to mind when you think of this word?

Since it’s the season of giving, we revisited Dean Arthur‘s post on the value of giving back.

Over on our Facebook page, we shared news of a terrific scholarship opportunity from Bucks County Community College as well as the chance to purchase discounted ski tickets from Perkasie Borough’s Parks and Recreation Department. We’re fortunate to do business in such a great community.

We want to thank you for reading our blog and your interest in Weber Kracht and Chellew.

Wishing you and your loved ones very Happy Holidays.

Giving Back: Walking the Talk

December 2, 2014 By WKCLawBlog

Today is #GivingTuesday. The answer to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, it’s a day for non-profits to remind us that this season of giving is more than a consumer exercise. We hope it helps us to remember the organizations that contribute to our communities throughout the year. It’s a standard our firm works to live up to through a variety of community-focused efforts and involvement. Perhaps the most tangible way we give back is through our pro bono services. Dean Arthur shares his experience:

I believe it is every attorneys’ obligation to give back to the community in which they live and practice. One of the ways I do this is providing pro bono legal services. I represent parties in Protection from Abuse actions without charge, doing so multiple times throughout the year. The clients are involved in very frightening and confusing situations and truly appreciate the assistance.

I was also a member of the Board of Directors of the Bucks County Legal Aid Society, serving as its president when it was required by federal funders to merge into what is now Legal Aid of Southeastern Pennsylvania (LASP), serving the four counties surrounding Philadelphia. I am also on the Board of LASP, serving as its president from 2003 through 2005.

I believe my involvement with this community service provides me with satisfaction that matches the assistance given to those in need.

Weekly Wrap-up image

Here’s a wrap-up of this week’s news from Weber Kracht and Chellew. Grab a cup of coffee and read on…

Dean Arthur helped us drive, bike and boat responsibly in his blog post, “DUI on a Boat?” We also learned more about Dean in our “Meet the Attorneys” series.

Our #ThrowbackThursday (#TBT) moment took us back to 2012 when we helped with the Perkasie Olde Towne Association-sponsored Child ID event. Look for more information in the coming weeks about a Child ID event we will be hosting in partnership with Habitat for Humanity.

We ended the week with a look back at Sunday’s Perkasie FallFest 5K, providing results and some photos from the event. We hope everyone who participated had a great time!

DUI on a Boat?

October 7, 2014 By WKCLawBlog

We all know that it is illegal to drive a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol. Pennsylvania statutes outline the different penalties that can be imposed depending upon an individual’s blood alcohol content at the time he or she is arrested for this crime. However, many of us may not know that it is also illegal to ride a bicycle under the influence of alcohol. The same penalties that can be imposed for driving a motor vehicle under the influence apply to operating a bicycle under the influence.

In addition, did you know that it is also illegal to operate a boat under the influence of alcohol? I recently represented an individual who was stopped by a park ranger as he was exiting his kayak from the Delaware River. The kayak did not have the required launch permit, so the park ranger approached my client. He noticed an odor of alcohol and took my client to a hospital for a blood test. When the test showed a blood alcohol content over the legal limit, he was arrested for operating a watercraft under the influence of alcohol. Fortunately, plea negotiations resulted in a very good outcome for the client, but we should all be aware of this crime as fall weather allows us to enjoy time outdoors a little longer.
