Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I am arrested in Mobile, Alabama?

If you are arrested, you should immediately invoke your right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions without an attorney present. Contacting an experienced criminal defense lawyer as early as possible is vital, as it allows your legal team to secure evidence, challenge probable cause, and protect your constitutional rights.

Can a felony conviction be expunged from my record?

Under Alabama law, certain misdemeanor offenses, non-violent felony charges that were dismissed, or cases where the defendant was found not guilty may be eligible for expungement. An experienced attorney can review your case history to determine if you qualify to have your criminal record cleared.
