Birmingham DUI & Traffic Defense Attorney

Below are common charges we help clients resolve in the Birmingham area:

DUI – Driving Under the Influence (Alcohol or Drugs)

Whether you were pulled over for alcohol or alleged drug use, DUI charges can result in jail time, license suspension, fines, and mandatory treatment. We challenge improper stops, field sobriety tests, and blood alcohol content (BAC) results.

Felony DUI (Repeat Offenses)

Multiple DUI convictions can lead to enhanced sentencing and long-term consequences. However, we fight to reduce or avoid felony charges by reviewing the legality and timeline of prior convictions.

Underage DUI (Zero Tolerance)

Drivers under 21 face different legal standards. Therefore, we defend minors and young adults charged under Alabama’s zero tolerance laws, working to protect their records and future.

Refusal to Submit to Testing

Refusing a breathalyzer or blood test can result in automatic license suspension under Alabama’s implied consent laws. In many cases, we investigate whether the stop and testing request were legally valid.

Reckless Driving

Reckless driving is more than just a ticket. As a result, it can be charged as a misdemeanor and may lead to license points, higher insurance rates, or even jail time.

Driving With a Suspended or Revoked License

Continuing to drive after a suspension—whether you knew it or not—can escalate legal consequences. Because of this, we work to mitigate penalties and protect your long-term driving privileges.

Leaving the Scene of an Accident (Hit and Run)

Leaving the scene of an accident involving injury or property damage is a serious offense. Still, we work to present the full context and protect you from escalating penalties.

Alabama law is strict—but that doesn’t mean every case is hopeless. For example, many clients are eligible for alternative sentencing or reduced charges based on their record and circumstances.

Attorney Eric Hamilton brings a rare combination of legal insight and human-centered defense. As a former prosecutor, public defender, and longtime Birmingham pastor, he knows what you’re up against—and how to navigate it with both legal precision and personal care.
