Minimize the Consequences of Your DUI or Other Traffic Violation
Contact Alan E. Jones, Attorney at Law for a free initial consultation.
I have been providing clients with DUI and traffic defense for thirty years. I have extensive experience and knowledge of what other lawyers may falsely perceive as a simple practice area. I study all of the related statutes and new caselaw, which are complicated, and my ability to understand all the nuances helps my clients. Since your driving privileges and freedom are at stake, you want the best defense possible.
Practice Areas
I have focused on protecting the rights of the accused for my entire legal career. I have thirty years of experience in Federal and State criminal defense. Over time, I have refined my practice to include the representation of businesses, and consequently, I rarely accept felony defense matters anymore. However, because I enjoy great satisfaction from assisting good people in their time of need with traffic, DUI and license reinstatement matters, that end of my practice is bigger than ever.
DUI: The DUI laws change every year. There are serious potential consequences for DUI, including jail for multiple time offenders. To be effective, a good traffic defense attorney must stay current on all of the changes and have tenacity in court.
License Reinstatement: If you have lost your license, for most any reason, I can represent your best interests and help you regain driving privileges.
Traffic Violations: From minor moving violations such as speeding tickets to the most complicated felony DUI, you can fight to minimize the consequences or your violations.
Flat fees let everyone know what to expect from the very beginning -- no one likes to be surprised with a legal bill.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
