Mandatory attendance at an alcohol education program and revocation or suspension of driving privileges is required with all convictions for DUI.
I know Alabama DUI law and defenses. I can explain how it may affect you. You need to be informed as to any defenses you may have. Investigation should be made of the purpose for the traffic stop, field sobriety tests given, breath alcohol level, etc. Blowing a .08 or greater reading is required under Alabama law to be considered under the influence of alcohol. Was the person administering the test qualified? If not, the results are deemed invalid. Knowing how to proceed and discover this information can make the difference for you!
For any prior DUI convictions were you represented by an attorney or was that right knowingly waived? The failure to have been afforded due process in a prior conviction for a DUI may render that conviction invalid for enhancement purposes.
It is important that your attorney be knowledgeable of the courts, judges and prosecutors that you may face.
