Understanding DUI Charges in Alabama

DUI charges are serious. Under Alabama law (Code of Alabama Title 32-5A-191), driving under the influence means having a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher, or being impaired by alcohol or drugs. First-time offenders can face fines, license suspension, alcohol education, and even jail. Repeat offenses bring even tougher penalties—longer suspensions, higher fines, and more jail time. A DUI conviction can raise your insurance, cost you your license, and hurt your job prospects. But with strong legal representation, you can fight these charges and protect your future.

Defending Against DUI Charges

We know every DUI case is different. At Pleasant Legal Solutions, we build your defense based on the facts. Here's how we help:

• Challenging the traffic stop — We look at whether the stop was legal. If there was no probable cause, we push to keep that evidence out of court.
• Questioning breathalyzer accuracy — These tests aren't perfect. We check the device's records and how the test was given to see if the results can be trusted.
• Field sobriety tests — These tests can be affected by health or even the weather. We dig into whether the test was fair in your case.
• Investigating police misconduct — We review the officer's actions for mistakes or violations of your rights.

We're here to build a strong DUI defense and protect your rights at every turn.

Breaking Down Theft Charges in Alabama

Theft charges in Birmingham can range from minor to very serious. Under Alabama law (Code of Alabama Title 13A-8), theft means taking property with the intent to keep it from the owner. The law breaks it down by value:

• Petty theft (third-degree): property worth $500 or less, a misdemeanor.
• Grand theft (first-degree): property worth over $2,500, a felony.

Penalties and Consequences

• Misdemeanor theft can mean fines and up to a year in jail. Felony theft brings bigger fines and prison time.
• A theft conviction can also hurt your job, your professional license, and your reputation.

With so much at risk, you need experienced criminal defense representation who knows how to protect your rights and your future.

Defending Against Theft Charges

We use every tool to defend you and get the best result possible:

• Lack of intent — If you didn't mean to keep the property, we work to show that. Proving no intent can get your case dismissed.
• Mistaken identity — Sometimes, the wrong person gets accused. We dig into the facts to make sure you're not blamed for something you didn't do.
• Return of property — If you returned or planned to return the property, it can help reduce or dismiss the charges.
• Insufficient evidence — We review the prosecution's case for weak spots and challenge anything that doesn't add up.
