We Have the Experience and Knowledge Your Case Needs

We regularly help honest, law-abiding people who may have made a small mistake or are being falsely accused of driving drunk. James P. Hess, our main criminal defense attorney, knows how to investigate the arrest to see if police procedure was followed. If it was not, he can get the case thrown out of court.

Beginning his career as a criminal prosecutor, Mr. Hess has long known the tactics and approaches that the state takes in DUI cases. He is well-known and well-respected in courts throughout Alabama, and he knows how to get his clients what they need. It’s possible for example, that the accused be better off in an alcohol treatment facility. There are also cases in which entering a plea will take serious punishments, such as jail time, off the table and get you your license back faster.
