LEGAL TIPS

DUI - DWI - ODWI? :
Unlike DUI, DWI, or OWUI cases that involve alcohol, there is generally no per se or legal limit that is employed for persons accused of driving under the influence of prescription medication or illicit drugs (although this is not the case in Ohio[citation needed]). Instead, the key inquiry focuses on whether the driver's faculties were impaired by the substance that was consumed. The detection and successful prosecution of drivers impaired by prescription medication or illegal drugs can therefore be difficult.

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.

Drunk driving is the act of operating and/or driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs to the degree that mental and motor skills are impaired. It is illegal in all jurisdictions within the U.S. The specific criminal offense is usually called driving under the influence [of alcohol and/or other drugs] (DUI), and in some states driving while intoxicated (DWI), operating while impaired (OWI), or operating a vehicle under the influence (OVI). Such laws may also apply to boating or piloting aircraft.

Alabama DUI Future :
And in what kind of absurd universe would a responsible legislative body consider, say, three DUI convictions in five years no cause for serious concern? No more than two in 10 years would seem more reasonable.
