Understanding Alabama DUI Laws

Alabama enforces some of the toughest drunk-driving laws in the country. If you’ve been charged, it’s critical to act quickly — you only have 10 days from the date of arrest to appeal a pending administrative driver’s license suspension.

Here are the key limits under Alabama law:

  • Drivers 21 and older: BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) of 0.08% or higher is illegal.

  • Commercial drivers: BAC of 0.04% or higher is prohibited.

  • Drivers under 21: BAC of 0.02% or higher may lead to DUI charges.

If you’ve been arrested, contacting a qualified Guntersville DUI defense attorney immediately can make all the difference. Attorney Paul A. Seckel, who holds both a Juris Doctor (JD) and a Master of Business Administration (MBA), brings a rare combination of legal precision and real-world strategic insight to every case.
