Criminal Defense / Drug Possession

Freedom is the greatest gift we are given by our creator, and the United States constitution. However, your gift of freedom will be taken from you if you break the law in Alabama. Having an experienced attorney on your side is the only defense you have against the will of the State of Alabama. You should always hire an attorney to defend you against the State. Never go through an Alabama criminal trial on your own!

Aside from taking a case to trial, many options exist for criminal defendants under the law. Even without going to trial, an experienced attorney could negotiate a more favorable result in the case. It is a fact that if you try to go through the case without an attorney, you don’t have as much of an opportunity to gain a favorable result.

Byron M. Richardson has helped past clients avoid jail time and has years of experience in negotiating with prosecuting attorneys. Byron M. Richardson focuses a large portion of his criminal defense practice on assisting clients facing drug possession charges. He knows how to handle drug cases, and works hard every day to help clients avoid jail time. Put his years of experience to work for you.

DUI & Driving Under The Influence:
DUI Jurisdictions :
Many jurisdictions require more serious penalties (such as jail time, larger fines, longer DUI program, the installation of ignition interlock devices) in cases where the driver's BAC is over 0.20, or 0.15 in some places. These additional sanctions are an attempt to deter and punish the operation of a vehicle at extremely high BAC levels and the concomitant danger posed to the safety of persons and property by heavily impaired drivers. In many cases, the reason given for these additional sanctions is because an average person would have passed out from that much alcohol.

Alabama DUI Lawyer :
Then comes the case of a man who had seven drunken-driving convictions within 15 years, but only three within a five-year period. He was sentenced for committing a felony. He appealed. And the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals reluctantly ruled that his sentence should be reduced.
