General Info

The state of Alabama places strict, steep consequences on drunk driving charges. If you are charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or another drug (DUI), also called DWI, you could face: A suspended driver's license - the minimum suspension is 90 days; Harsh fines - the minimum fine is more than $500; Lost wages - without your car, you could lose your job; Long jail time -the minimum sentence can be up to a year; At the Gulf Shores Law Office of Daniel H. Craven, P.C., I know the severe penalties that you will face when charged with DUI. I have nearly 20 years' experience framing effective legal strategies to help you beat DUI charges or minimize your penalties. As your criminal defense lawyer, I can provide effective, aggressive strategies for DUI charges that may help bring relief from prosecution. I have handled hundreds of DUI cases and my reputation for being credible and professional has helped me with negotiations and trial. Depending on your situation, I can try to negotiate with the district attorney to withhold adjudication in municipal court. This basically means you would plead guilty to your charge and the court would put you on probation. After completing mandated DUI classes and staying out of trouble for one year, your case would be dismissed and the conviction would be removed from your record.
