Understanding Alabama DUI Laws

Alabama uses the term DUI, and many people also say DWI. The legal limit is 0.08 for most drivers, 0.04 for commercial drivers, and 0.02 for minors. Penalties rise with prior offenses and can include fines, probation, classes, ignition interlock, and a license suspension. After an arrest in Madison County, a quick legal response protects your ability to drive and your options in court. For broader support beyond a single charge, learn how our criminal defense approach protects your rights from the start.

How We Defend DUI Charges

We review the reason for the traffic stop, bodycam footage, and the administration of field sobriety tests. We examine calibration records for breath tests and medical or timing issues with blood draws. When weaknesses appear, we move to suppress flawed evidence or negotiate reductions such as reckless driving where appropriate. If your arrest also involved controlled substances, see how we handle drug offenses that can complicate a DUI case.

When first offense or repeat charge is on the line, we explain paths, set a practical plan, and keep your DUI case on track for a fair result.

License Consequences and Time Limits

A DUI arrest can trigger an administrative license action separate from the court case. You have a short window to request a hearing and explore ignition interlock or restricted license options. Acting quickly helps keep you on the road for work and family needs in Huntsville and Madison.
