Birmingham DUI & Criminal Defense Lawyer & Attorney : Eversole Law Firm : Criminal and DUI Defense : Serving Birmingham, Montgomery, Alabama

As an Alabama criminal defense lawyer and attorney I have devoted my life to defending those accused of crimes.  I routinely represent clients in Birmingham and throughout the state of Alabama in Alabama DUI charges, Alabama Theft Charges, Alabama Drug Charges and crimes, Alabama and Federal Criminal Appeals, Sex Crimes including rape and sexual assault, as well as Alabama traffic and speeding tickets. 

I will defend your Constitutional Rights no matter the charge and no matter the circumstances.  Just because someone has been accused of an Alabama DUI or Drug Crime does not mean they are guilty.  Criminal charges are often obtained against innocent people or people who the state cannot convict.  You will increase your likelihood of a successful resolution to your situation by immediately contacting an attorney or lawyer who focuses his practice on Alabama criminal and DUI defense.  The very nature of a criminal conviction means that all criminal charges are serious charges and deserve serious attention.  Even a single DUI conviction for example can land you in jail, promises significant fines in the thousands, loss of drivers license, you could possibly lose your job, your security clearance at work, or maybe not even get a job because of the background checks that many companies are performing these days.  Your car insurance will surely sky rocket and you could lose your neighbors respect.  Likewise, just one conviction for possession of a controlled substance requires a minimum one year jail sentence. 

The state and the Alabama prosecutors must present evidence in court that would allow a jury of your peers to find you guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.  My job as an Alabama criminal defense lawyer and attorney is to make sure the jury has that kind of doubt.  Beyond a reasonable doubt is a high standard to leap and a good Alabama DUI and criminal defense attorney can accomplish wonders.  In fact, in many instances, especially in DUI and Drug charges, it is possible to have these cases dismissed or reduced prior to any trial.  If you have been charged with a crime in Alabama, and you cannot afford to lose, call the Alabama criminal defense lawyers and attorneys at Eversole Law today.  My contact information listed on this site rings my personal cell phone directly.  I will answer your call and handle your case from beginning to end.

An Alabama police officer was shot and killed last week.  Officer Eric Freeman was shot in the head after investigating a traffic accident in Huntsville, Alabama.  Officer Freeman approached Ken Shipp Jr. sitting by the street on a curb.  The police officer was going to arrest Mr. Shipp for driving under the influence of alcohol.  Mr. Shipp stood up and shot Officer Freemen in the head instead.  Shipp is being charged with capital murder and is being held without bond in the Huntsville jail. 

Mr. Shipp had been arrested for a previous DUI and apparently thought it better to kill a police officer than spend a night in jail.  He has obvious mental issues.  Combined with alcohol these mental issues could call into question whether Mr. Shipp had the Mens Rea required for capital murder.  At least that's an Alabama criminal defense and DUI lawyer and attorney's two cents worth. 

My sincere condolences to the Freeman family.

Alabama's "war on drivers," over the past week netted 170 people charged with a DUI, and 2,214 people charged with seat belt/child restraint infractions, just to name a few.  Hazardous driving is up as well:  That includes DUI, speeding, following too closely, improper lane change and seat belt/child restraint violations.  Last year, 5,384 people were arrested for hazardous driving behavior.  This year, that number was 11,564. 

The Department of Public Safety and your elected officials sell this kind of manure to the public based upon a simple misleading idea.  They tell you that this kind of enforcement will lower the number of traffic deaths.  Well....is there proof in the pudding?  Unfortunately no, traffic deaths were up this year compared to last years numbers.  This year's "take back the highway's campaign," with it's increased numbers of DUI's, speeding tickets, and seat belt infractions did not lower the number of people killed on Alabama highways.  In fact, the number of people killed on Alabama highways increased from 17 to 21, even with the increased ticketing, DUI checkpoints, arrests and police patrols. 

The way I see it is simple:  It's all about the money.  The municipalities, and indeed the State of Alabama itself, need the revenue generated by these "crackdowns" on mostly good, honest, and hardworking Alabama citizens.

An Ozark, Alabama man was tasered and accused of a DUI while having a seizure.  Police in Ozark, Alabama used a taser on a sober man having a seizure behind the wheel of his parked car last week.  Police fired their tasers at the man three times.  Now, the police say the man smelled of alcohol and have charged him with a DUI even though his blood work has shown no signs of alcohol.  I see this kind of police misconduct and abuse of power every day.  Is it any wonder the people have lost faith in these people.  I do not believe a word a police officer utters out of his mouth.  Every time someone is arrested for drunk driving in Alabama, I hear the same refrain: "he smelled of alcohol, his eyes were bloodshot, he appeared disheveled, blah...blah..blah..."  These cops must have bloodhound noses.  Isn't it quite convenient that every time someone is arrested for a DUI the police give the exact same reasons for arrest? Does anyone really believe that the Alabama DUI charge is anything but an attempt to deflect blame for tasering a man in a medical emergency three times?  And can someone please tell me the law the man broke in the first place?  Did these cops feel endangered by a man having a seizure?  If it wasn't so maddening it would be funny.  I hope this municipality gets its ass sued off.  These officers should be immediately fired and charged with battery.  Anyone want to bet these SOB's get charged or disciplined?  I bet not.  The law is different for those with power and for those without.  This is just one more reason why anyone accused of an Alabama DUI or any Alabama crime needs an experienced Alabama DUI & Criminal Defense Attorney.

HaHaHaHaHa........ another hypocrite in power arrested for a DUI.  A South Dakota department of highway safety official was arrested yesterday for a DUI.  Normally, I would never laugh at someone charged with a DUI.  It is a serious charge, the dui laws are ridiculous, and I make a very good living defending those accused of driving under the influence.  However, I delight in highlighting hypocrites and abusers of power.  Plus the irony is so overwhelming I have to comment on it.  Everyone should remember, "judge not, less ye be judged."  There's a maxim to live by.
