Our DUI Defense

Billy J. Sheffield, II Attorney At Law will thoroughly investigate for any and all potential flaws in the Government’s case. The Government is required to show that:
  1. The arresting officer had a valid reason to stop you or come in contact with you,
  2. The arresting officer had probable cause to arrest you,
  3. The officer giving field sobriety tests was properly trained,
  4. The field sobriety tests were given correctly,
  5. The equipment used by the officer was working properly,
  6. The person operating the equipment was certified in the use of the equipment,
  7. The equipment was in working order at the time of its use, and;
  8. The machine did what it was suppose to do
  9. The person charged with DUI was intoxicated.
  10. The person charged with DUI was actually “operating” a motor vehicle.
We have experience challenging the Government in all areas above and have been able to successfully challenge the Government in these areas. Because of our challenges to the Government’s cases, we have obtained many dismissals and “Not Guilty” verdicts for our clients. Billy J. Sheffield, II Attorney At Law has successfully defended Alabama DUI’s, drunk driving charges and other alcohol related offenses. Our goal from the beginning of your DUI case is to get your case dismissed. We understand the importance of keeping a DUI off of your record. We have obtained numerous “not guilty” verdicts and had even more cases dismissed. OUR RESULTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES!!

Is your Alabama Driver’s License Important to you?

CAUTION!! You have only 10 days from the date of arrest to request a hearing on your driver’s license. If you fail to request a hearing, your license may be suspended and you face the probability of paying huge fines for several years. It is important that you hire legal representation for this hearing to challenge the license suspension. Having legal representation for this license hearing provides the best opportunity for your attorney to question the arresting officer. Putting the officer on the stand helps to establish his or her position, which can be very beneficial to your case. We have found that challenging your driver’s license suspension is the most important step in fighting the DUI portion of your case. After we request the hearing on your Alabama driver’s license, we have the opportunity to question the officer(s) that arrested you prior to a jury trial in your case. This is an invaluable opportunity for us to obtain information that often times leads to a favorable result in your case or leads to a dismissal of your DUI.  Many lawyers never even take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn about your case.
