  3. Gale & Gale: Can I go to jail? You can go to jail for up to 6 months for nearly any city ordinance violation. A first DUI violation can result in a year in jail. Of course, felony cases can result in very severe jail terms in the state penitentiary, ranging from one year to life without parole. When certain enhancements are factored in, such as previous convictions under the habitual offender law, prison sentences can become obnoxiously long. Can I lose my license? Almost everyone knows that in city and state courts in Alabama your driver's license is suspended if you're convicted of DUI. But you can also loose your license for a time for other reasons, such as refusing a breath test, or for a conviction of possession of marijuana or leaving the scene of an accident.
  4. Wing, Michael: DUI / DWI charges can be intimidating. If you're like many people charged with DUI / DWI, this may be your first encounter with the criminal justice system. To the unfamiliar, unwilling participant, it can be an overwhelming experience.

  7. James Harper: When you are faced with a serious criminal charge, it's important to have an experienced lawyer on your side.
  8. Mallette Law Office: There can be unanimous agreement that the crime of DUI is wrong and should be punished. However, the path this country is taking in solving the DUI problem is flawed. First, as it becomes easier, under the law, to be labeled intoxicated or impaired, more and more innocent people are going to be convicted because of the inability of law enforcement to accurately detect a drunken driver. As the prohibited blood alcohol content (BAC) limit moves closer to sobriety and away from insobriety, the symptoms police look for are going to be harder to detect. Mistakes made by law enforcement are going to increase.
  9. James Smith: The absolute best defense is to never drink and then operate a motor vehicle or water vessel. Unfortunately, you didn't think to call your lawyer from the bar/party/social gathering and ask his advice before encountering the State Trooper/Deputy Sheriff/Policeman. So, we begin with the proposition that the best defense is not available. Whatever the outcome, we can be sure that that Taxi Cab ride home would have cost less than what you may now be looking at to deal with this situation. This is not intended to make light of the predicament you may now be in. But, lets face it, this time it didn't happen to the other guy; its you...
