If you are arrested for drunk driving in Alabama, you could be facing license suspension, jail time and stiff penalties. Your vehicle insurance rates may go up. You may be forced to attend DUI classes. And you might have problems getting to and from work each day.
Do not make the mistake of pleading guilty to any drunk driving count before you consult with an attorney. I am experienced Mobile and Baldwin County DUI defense attorney Christine C. Hernandez. I represent clients throughout Mobile County, Baldwin County, Washington County and across the state of Alabama who are facing serious charges.
Challenging Drunk Driving Charges in Court
As a highly qualified and experienced DUI lawyer, I am often able to successfully challenge the circumstances of a drunk driving arrest by questioning the accuracy of:
- Field sobriety tests
- Portable breathalyzer tests
- Standard breathalyzer tests
- Blood alcohol content (BAC) testing procedures
I understand the intricacies of Alabama traffic and motor vehicle laws and how they relate to your charges. I will work aggressively to help reduce or eliminate the penalties and consequences associated with driving under the influence.
Alabama Implied Consent Law: Know Your Rights
As a licensed driver in Alabama, you must consent to a breath or blood alcohol test if you are stopped for a moving violation. If you refuse, you will automatically lose your driver's license for 90 days or longer unless you have an administrative hearing within the prescribed time limits. This administrative suspension is in addition to any criminal charges that may be brought against you for driving under the influence. I routinely represent my clients during the administrative hearing process.
If you've been arrested for drunk driving in Alabama, you must contact an attorney with specialized knowledge of the area within a 10-day window to request a hearing with the Department of Public Safety to maintain your driver's license.
