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.

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.

Thanksgiving Holiday Travelers in Birmingham, Hoover, Pelham, Trussville, Homewood, Tuscaloosa, Vestavia, Mountain Brook, Gardendale, Fultondale, Leeds, Moody, Pell City, Huntsville, Montgomery, Florence, Scottsboro, Mobile and throughout Alabama should be aware that Alabama is  again "taking back the highways."  Governor Bob Riley and the Alabama Department of Public Safety have joined forces once again to flood the Alabama roadways with police officers looking for any excuse to make money.  They intend to target speeding, failure to yield the right of way, following too closely, driver inattention, and DUI.  These speed traps are just another means of raising revenue.  I guess the Governor has decided that the people of Alabama are more secure by having its police on the roadways instead of protecting our communities.  And I have a question, how do you target driver inattention?  Make sure you don't drive through a fast food joint for a burger on the way to grandma's house this thanksgiving, it might get you a ticket.  If you are charged with an Alabama DUI, a speeding or other traffic ticket this Thanksgiving, make sure to call an experienced Alabama DUI and Criminal Defense attorney and lawyer.  Remember, refuse to take a field sobriety test, a breath test or any test administered by an Alabama police officer or their agents without the presence of your attorney.  Know your rights and fight back!  The nanny state of Alabama, lead by the MADD Mothers Against Drunk Driving and money hungry bureaucrats, is at it again.

Jurisdiction refers to the court's power to hear and determine cases.  A court must have proper jurisdiction before it can enter a valid judgment.  Proceedings held in a court without proper jurisdiction are void and unenforceable.

Alabama Municipal Courts have jurisdiction over a case if all three elements below are met: 

• there is a valid city ordinance proscribing the conduct
• the alleged offense must have been committed with the police jurisdiction of the city
• and the accused must be properly brought before the court

A municipality's jurisdiction is territorially restricted according to the size of the city.  In a city with less than 6,000 people, jurisdiction extends to all adjoining territory a mile and a half beyond the city's corporate limits.  For a city with more than 6,000 people, police jurisdiction, and thus the jurisdiction of the municipal court, extends to three miles beyond its corporate limits.

So, if you get pulled over for a DUI in Homewood or Mountain Brook, you will be subject to their municipal code, and will be charged in that city.
