Arrested for DUI? Do Not Ignore the License Paperwork.

A separate driver’s-license proceeding may begin before the criminal case is resolved. If you received DDS Form 1205, bring it, your citation, and your bond paperwork to the consultation so the applicable 30-day deadline and available options can be reviewed promptly.

Defense Approach

An arrest is not a conviction. We examine whether the stop was lawful, whether roadside tests were administered properly, whether breath or blood evidence is reliable, and what the State can actually prove. No canned promises — just a careful defense built around the evidence and the law.

DUI Defense

Gordon Hall defends people charged with DUI in Walker County and the surrounding municipal courts. We challenge every phase of the State’s case: the lawfulness of the traffic stop, the officer’s administration of the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus, Walk and Turn, and One-Leg Stand tests, the reliability of Intoxilyzer 9000 breath test results, and the integrity of any blood draw. The Standardized Field Sobriety Tests are scientific instruments — they are only admissible when administered strictly according to the 2023 NHTSA protocol. Any deviation destroys their scientific validity.

Criminal Defense

Beyond DUI, the firm defends misdemeanor criminal charges including Simple Battery, Battery with a Family Violence Act designation, Theft by Taking, shoplifting, Criminal Trespass, driving without insurance, and driving on a suspended or revoked license. These charges carry real consequences — fines, probation, and a permanent record — and they deserve a serious defense.
