In Alabama, it is state mandated that a person who is convicted of a DUI / DWI meet with a court referral officer. In addition to the punishments already imposed on the offender, many judges determine that community service should be added as restitution. At the Kreps Law Firm, LLC, our Alabama DUI penalties attorney can help you understand these two aspects of DUI convictions and how they may apply to your case.

1st DUI conviction: License suspended for 90 days.
