The Gravity of a Second DUI Offense
In Alabama, a second DUI conviction within a 5-year period escalates the penalties significantly.

Moreover, you may face mandatory community service and DUI school attendance.
Legal Defense Strategies
Given the increased severity of a second offense, the defense strategy must be robust and multifaceted.
