Alabama DUI Law
My first goal as an attorney representing clients charged with DUI (Driving Under the Influence) in Orange Beach Municipal Court is to keep them from having a DUI conviction. If you have never been arrested for a DUI before, you may be able to get the DUI dismissed after you completed certain court requirements. However, you need an attorney to negotiate offer for you. Also if you are from out of state or don't live in the area, there may be a possibility of negotiating the plea agreement through the mail.
In Alabama you can be found guilty of DUI if:
- you are in physical control of the vehicle; and
- under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- to a degree which renders you incapable of safely driving.
DUI (Driving Under the Influence) Punishment:
DUI 1st Conviction:
- $600-$2,100 fine plus court costs
- Up to a year in jail
DUI 2nd Conviction:
- $1,100-$5,100 fine plus court costs
- Up to a year in jail but must serve a minimum 5 days in jail or complete 30 days community service
DUI 3rd Conviction:
- $2,100-$10,100 fine plus court costs
- Up to a year in jail but must serve a minimum of 60 days in jail.
DUI 4th Conviction:
- $4,100-$10,100 fine plus court costs
- Up to 10 years in jail
I have represented many clients arrested for DUI and other serious traffic offenses in Orange Beach Municipal Court. Every court handles matters differently, and that is why you need to get an attorney who has practiced before the court before.
