Are You Facing DUI Or BUI Charges in Fairhope, Fairhope or Orange Beach, AL?

If you have never faced criminal charges before, you may not realize how serious drug- and alcohol-related charges can be. Depending on the circumstances, you could face heavy fines, lose your license and possibly even spend time in jail.

With a thorough understanding of the courtroom and legal process, I will use every tool at my disposal to get you the best possible deal. For quality legal representation near Fairhope, Mobile and coastal Alabama, look no further than my firm, Jonathan C. McCardle, Attorney at Law, LLC.

Alabama has strict laws surrounding driving under the influence (DUI). Without a tough defense, the penalties you face could include:

• Driver's license suspension or revocation
• Ignition interlock devices, which administer a breathalyzer test before you can start your car
• Fines of hundreds or thousands of dollars
• Significantly higher insurance premiums
• Mandatory treatment or counseling programs
• A permanent criminal record

The key to a solid DUI defense is acting as soon as possible. The more time an DUI attorney has to help you, the better your prospects for receiving reduced charges or even having them tossed altogether.
