Driving under the influence of alcohol is a serious problem in Alabama.
Alabama has the 5th highest number of impaired driving deaths per 100,000 residents in the US. This staggering statistic is proof that driving under the influence is not only a serious problem but a fatal one.
The severity of the consequences of drunk driving help to explain why the punishments for a DUI in Alabama are so severe.
Punishments for DUI in Alabama
If convicted for a DUI in the state of Alabama, you could spend up to one year in jail and be subject to pay up to $2,100 as well as have your license suspended. The court may also require you to use an ignition interlock device which requires drivers to prove a blood alcohol level under the legal limit before the car will start.
For every additional conviction these punishments become more severe.
You will pay more money, lose your driver’s license, spend more time in jail, and have more of your rights stripped from you.

Types of Alabama DUI Cases Walton Law Takes
DUI First Offense
Often DUI charges come on account of a momentary lapse in judgement on the part of otherwise responsible Alabama residents. The brevity of this mistake, however, does not mitigate the severity of the crime.
Though this is a serious crime, being charged with a single DUI does not necessarily mean that justice requires you receive the fullest extent of legal retribution.
You need an Alabama DUI attorney who is going to fight for you.
DUI Misdemeanor
Even if you are facing your third or fourth DUI or alcohol-related charge, you still need the advice and representation of experienced Alabama DUI attorneys.
DUI Underage
If there is any demographic that has momentary lapses in judgement it is adolescents.
