Common Questions About DUI Charges
Alabama has very little tolerance for driving under the influence. Hiring an attorney is the best way to ensure that a mistake doesn't turn into a lifetime of consequences. We have answered the most frequent questions we hear from folks in Birmingham to help you understand what is at stake.
Yes, you should, whether it’s your first DUI or not. A conviction stays on your record forever and can double your insurance rates for years. A lawyer is your only chance to save your license through the 10-day rule, and to negotiate a result that keeps your record clean.
Yes. Certain situations, like repeated offenses, often increase your chances of prison time. An experienced DUI defense attorney will be able to negotiate your penalties, including jail or prison time.
One of our DUI lawyers can help you remove an arrest if the case was dismissed, or you were found not guilty. However, Alabama law currently does not allow for the expungement of DUI convictions. This is why it is so critical to hire us before a conviction happens. Once it's on your record, it's there for life.
