Alabama Drunk-Driving and Traffic Offenses


Take DUI and Traffic Charges Seriously Now or You Could Face Serious Consequences Later

Too many people make the mistake of thinking that they have no defense if they have been pulled over and charged with drunk driving, speeding, or another traffic offense. That is not always the case.

Sometimes police make mistakes.

Just because you have been charged with a crime does not mean that you are guilty—or that the prosecutor has the evidence to back up their case. Don't plead guilty only to learn later that you could have defended yourself and avoided the serious and long-term consequences or a drunk-driving conviction.

Contact the DUI defense lawyers at Gustin & Royster, PC. We are here to ensure you get the defense you need when you are facing drunk-driving charges or any felony or misdemeanor criminal charge in an Alabama court.

Defense of Drunk-Driving Charges

Few of the many people who are arrested for drunk driving along US Highway 78, Corridor X, or US Highway 118 between Memphis and Atlanta understand that the burden of proof is on the state.

Charging you with driving drunk is only the beginning. To convict you, they have to prove those charges.

The consequences of a DUI conviction are severe, and they can stay with you for the rest of your life. Even a first offense can mean up to 12 months in jail, up to $2,000 in fines, loss of your driving privileges probation or jail time, and DUI schools.

You should immediately seek able and experienced defense. Contact our Jasper law office.

Don't Lose Your Driver's License

In Alabama, if you have been arrested after blowing a BAC of .08 or above, your license will be suspended if you don't request a hearing within 10 days of your arrest.

We can help you make a formal request for hearing to the Department of Public Safety. This is in addition to your criminal DUI trial in municipal court that will be scheduled within 2-3 months of your arrest.

We can often stop your driver's license suspension if you call us in time. Don't wait until the trial. Call us now.

 

Defense of Speeding Tickets
and Traffic Citations

Do you think it's too much of a hassle to fight your traffic ticket? Think again.

For every moving violation you plead guilty to (pay your ticket), points are added to your driving record—causing dollars to be added to your insurance rates.

Worse, if those points add up to 12 in any two-year period, your driver's license will be suspended.

There are alternatives to pleading guilty. We can help. We defend people in all traffic charges, including:

  • Speeding
  • Careless driving
  • Reckless driving
  • Driving on a suspended license
  • Driving on a revoked license
  • Driving without insurance
  • Lane change violations
  • Attempt to elude police
  • Leaving the scene of an accident
