Time after time, I find that content from my website has been copied and placed on other lawyer websites. They say that imitation is "the best form of flattery." Unfortunately, clients reading these copycat websites can be fooled into believing that the lawyer whose website where my work appears actually wrote the material. In reality, the sites contain work that was simply pilfered from my sites - or a lame attempt was made to make the material look authentic. People charged with DWI in New Jersey looking for information are entitled to true and authentic material from the attorney (the learned "professional") who purports to be writing it.
I believe that a lawyer who resorts to lifting the work of another (or who allows his website to contain pilfered work and stands by blindly) and passes it off as his own is lacking in a core set of principles and does a disservice to the public.
In the movie "Donnie Brasco," an FBI undercover agent (Donnie Brasco), played by Johnny Depp, infiltrates the New York Mafia. Brasco came to be known as "Don the Jeweler" because of his keen knowledge of the jewelry trade.
A real Mafioso, Lefty Ruggiero (played by Al Pacino), approached Donnie Brasco ("Don the Jeweler") and offered to sell him a diamond. Brasco quickly examined the diamond and said to Ruggiero, "You should give it to someone who don't know any better because that is a fugazi … it's a fake … you want to go embarrass yourself with this thing?" Ruggiero and Brasco then went back to the person who gave Ruggiero the (fake) diamond (as payment of a debt) and relieved him of his Porsche.
The diamond was a "fugazi" - slang for a fake. Some Lawyer websites that purport to be offering nj dwi information are fugazis; they are fakes. Clients who have been charged with dwi are usually embarrassed, shame-ridden, suffering from anxiety, and seeking genuine information from educated professionals, and they are shopping for a suitable professional dwi defense lawyer.
Watch out for fugazis - for fakes; unfortunately, the world is full of them. I tell my nine-year-old daughter (who is beautiful, smart, and a gifted singer and actress - OK, I am bragging about my daughter, but I cannot help it) to always be genuine, to be authentic and original - to be a critical thinker. When she was three, I once told her not to be a "copycat," and she said, daddy "what is a "coffee cat?" That is now a running joke in our house to this day; - "don't be a coffee cat?"
