Level The Playing Field To Protect Your Rights

Many people charged with a DUI, whether it be their first or multiple offense, assume the deck is stacked against them and resign themselves to a guilty plea. After all, a breath test "proves" they were driving while impaired... a police report details their failed field sobriety test. At the Eversole Law Firm in Birmingham, Alabama, we understand how an individual can feel dwarfed by the court system. It's the age-old story of David vs. Goliath: the average man alone against a giant foe. But you do yourself a disservice by surrendering. By finding the right legal representation to fight for your rights, you procure for yourself an indispensable legal toolkit that serves to level the playing field.

Don't Settle For Less Than The Most Seasoned and Competent DUI Defense

The question remains: why hire an experienced DUI attorney? Why not any ol' garden variety criminal defense attorney? Let us answer the question by returning to the above example of David and Goliath. If you remember, David put Goliath down with a slingshot, and it is from this parable that we get the adage, "The bigger they are, the harder they fall." You see, WE ARE THE SLINGSHOT. Every defense demands a specifically tailored arsenal (of skills, experience, and knowledge). Our focus for years has been on drunk driving charges, handling a wide variety of cases including clients faced with losing their commercial driver's licenses to clients facing jail time for multiple DUI felony conviction. We have insight and time-tested strategies that other attorneys simply lack. Our track record of success also gives us the confidence to take a more aggressive approach to defending our clients. We don't sit back and react to the prosecution; we come in firing off that slingshot and seizing control of the situation.

The Consequences of Choosing A Second-Rate Defense

If you choose an advocate who doesn't have the kind of focus we describe, you won't get a slingshot. Maybe you'll get a nice little club that you can beat Goliath about the ankles with. We're being a bit facetious, but the situation is really very serious: depending on your offense, you could lose your driver's license, watch your insurance rates skyrocket, pay large fines, and perhaps even see jail time. When you get right down to it, this is why you hire an experienced DUI attorney: because, as they say, you don't bring a knife to a gunfight. And especially when your career or very freedom may be at risk, you don't bring in anyone but the very best to protect your legal rights.
