DUI

When it comes to Alabama DUI charges, it is important to remember that a charge is not a conviction. Before making any decisions or offering any testimony, it is important to contact an experienced Huntsville DUI attorney who can represent your best interests. Depending on the facts of the case, it is often quite possible to get the charges dismissed or lessened based on factors like your driving record and the details of the arrest.

You should get representation in order to protect your rights and ensure that your case is handled fairly and you are given the considerations you deserve. DUI convictions come with serious consequences that can impact your personal life, professional standing, financial situation and overall civil liberties.

You are not guilty just because you had a drink or two and drove your vehicle.

DIVERSION PROGRAMS

A criminal conviction does not always result in jail or prison. In some cases, you may be able to avoid going to jail or prison by agreeing to participate in a diversion program. Your eligibility for a diversion program depends largely on such factors as the type of crime you committed and if you have any prior offenses on your criminal record. Sometimes you must fight for the opportunity to participate in one of these programs. An experienced defense attorney like James R. Foley can represent you in court and negotiate with the judge for a diversion program instead of jail, prison, or other penalties.
