The attorneys at BHM Law Group are well versed in all aspects of DUI law. BHM Law Group has successfully represented individuals who have been charged with DUI in both municipal and county courts.

Driving under the influence (DUI) is the most common criminal offense in the United States. Many drivers with otherwise clean records have been arrested for DUI and suddenly found their lives in a downward spiral which took years to recover from.

DUI convictions have major ramifications, and some can linger for years. Most of us are aware of the short-term consequences, including temporary driver’s license suspension, fees and fines, high insurance premiums, court-mandated community service, participation in drunk driving education programs, and even jail time. Unfortunately, the long-term shock waves from a DUI can cause the greatest pain. Even after you pay your fines and fulfill your legal obligations, your DUI conviction can still undermine your future opportunities and haunt your life for years.

If you have been charged with DUI, contact the lawyers at BHM Law Group immediately. Our dedicated attorneys will fight for your freedom and rights. We are your advocate when you need it most.
