Orange Beach Traffic Tickets

When representing clients charged with a serious traffic ticket such as, Driving While Revoked, Driving While Suspended, Attempting to Elude, etc., my first goal is to keep them from having a conviction. You may be able to get the traffic offense dismissed or reduced to a lesser traffic offense. However, you need an attorney to negotiate offer for you. Also if you are from out of state or don't live in the area, there may be a possibility of negotiating the plea agreement through the mail.

I have represented many clients arrested for DUI and serious traffic offenses in Orange Beach Municipal Court. Every court handles matters differently, and that is why you need to get an attorney who has practiced before the court before.

Below is the applicable fines, jail time license suspension for each corresponding serious traffic offense conviction.
