Being charged with a crime is a very serious and challenging event in someone’s life. It can affect not only the one being charged but their family as well.

When you are charged with a crime and arrested. your first time in court will be what is referred to as you’re “initial appearance”. At that hearing the judge will inform you what you are being charged with. You will not plea guilty or not guilty at that time and you will not get to explain anything to the judge.  Then, if you request one, you will attend a “preliminary hearing”. At that hearing, the prosecutor must prove probable cause, meaning that you “probably committed the crime.” You are limited in the amount of time you have to request this hearing, so it is imperative that you contact us when you or your family member is arrested.

The criminal case, if probable cause is found or hearing is not requested, then goes before a grand jury. If the grand jury finds enough probable cause then you are indicted. Once indicted you will be set for an arraignment in Circuit Court. You will be read the charges against you, if you wish. You will be set for a “plea day”, at which you will declare if you are guilty or not guilty. If you plea not guilty you will then be set for a trial in the future.  At trial, a jury is picked to decide your guilt or innocence. Because the State has the burden of proving your case beyond a reasonable doubt, they will present evidence first. You, as the defendant, will then be allowed to present a defense.

The Law Office of Bill Lewis, LLC, has a DUI defense concentration. They have done it for years and they do it well. They don’t judge you, they just get results.

A common misconception is that it is illegal to drink and drive. That is simply not true. It is only illegal in Alabama to drive while you are under the influence. That is an important difference because you are only “under the influence ” if you either have a blood-alcohol content of .08 or you are impaired to an extent that you can no longer safely operate your vehicle. You are not guilty of a DUI just because you drink then drive your vehicle.

So, who makes the decision that you are Impaired? The police officer makes that decision. They use several tests that law enforcement claims indicate whether you are impaired or not. If you are unable to perform these tests to the officer’s satisfaction, then you may find yourself arrested and charged with DUI. It is important that you get an attorney that has experience in DUI cases. Bill Lewis Law attorneys have years of experience and not only have they successfully defended these cases, but they have also prosecuted them. Don’t you want that kind of experience on your side?
