Mobile DUI Lawyer

Looking for a criminal attorney in Mobile to defend your interests?

A DUI conviction can have severe and long lasting consequences. If convicted of a DUI, your drivers license can be suspended, you can be fined, placed on formal probation, and have your dignity stripped from you by becoming subject to regular urine drug and alcohol testing. Your insurance rates are also likely to increase based on a conviction, and depending on the specifics of your charge, you can even be subjected to mandatory jail time.

When you have been arrested for a DUI, quick, decisive action is critical. Once you are released form jail, the clock starts ticking on the administrative suspension of your drivers license. This administrative suspension is  a separate matter from the criminal charge of DUI, and the deadline to apply for an administrative hearing on the issue comes quickly and cannot be extended.

Once retained, Blake will immediately hit the ground running and begin to build your case before crucial evidence is lost or deleted, and before the deadline for the administrative suspension of your license passes. Blake will also begin to put pressure on the prosecutors assigned to your case by aggressively pursuing the evidence and discovery you are entitled to receive in the preparation of your case. As he prepares your case for trial, Blake will begin the process of negotiating with the prosecuting authority in an effort to return your life to normal as soon as possible. However, Blake is a trial attorney and will make every effort to give you the upper hand pre-trial, and negotiate from a position of strength. If a dismissal of the charges against you, diversion, or some other acceptable outcome is not offered, Blake will gladly stand beside you in trial and help you fight back against the government.

Many different factors can  impact your chances of avoiding a conviction; having an attorney by your side who knows the law and what tactics to use in your specific case is critical. As one example, a DUI charge investigated by an Alabama State Trooper will be wildly different than a DUI charge investigated by a Sheriff's Deputy or Police Officer. Alabama State Troopers are generally extremely experienced and well educated in the investigation of DUIs and other traffic related offenses. While most law enforcement agencies will likely attempt to make use of breath testing devices such as the Intoximeter DMT Dual Sensor Instrument and the older Draeger 7110,  Alabama State Troopers are far more likely to also employ other sophisticated investigative tools such as a Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) or Oral Fluid Testing. Blake Vrieze is educated in the methods and techniques employed by specialized Alabama State Troopers such as DREs, as well as the operation and use of Oral Fluid Testing devices such as the Abbott SoToxa, Draeger Drug Test 5000, and Randox MultiSTAT. Blake is also familiar with the procedures used by law enforcement in collecting and analyzing blood samples and other biological and physical evidence, as well as the proper use of the Biological Specimens Kits (BSKits) used to send these samples to the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences (ADFS).

You need to know your rights and take action to protect those rights immediately. Blake Vrieze has extensive experience defending clients in DUI cases in Alabama, and will be both your sword and shield through this process, and stand beside you in court from start to finish.
