Criminal Defense

Simms & Associates has defended clients charged with almost every criminal offense in Alabama including DUI/DWI, drug crimes (such as possession, distribution and trafficking), domestic violence and a variety of other criminal defense matters. They ensure that their clients understand that an arrest does not always lead to a conviction. It is the job of your attorney to thoroughly investigate your case, review all evidence against you and the procedures followed before and during your arrest. You have rights, and you are entitled to an experienced lawyer to defend those rights. Some of the areas of criminal law that Simms & Associates routinely handle includes:

  • Unlawful Possession of Marijuana
  • Drug Distribution
  • Drug Trafficking
  • Meth/Methamphetamine/Crystal Meth
  • Cocaine/Crack Cocaine
  • Domestic Violence
  • Criminal Appeals

    Personal Injury Practice

    If you are injured by a negligent or drunk driver, attorney Simms' experience in DUI defense and the auto insurance industry will prove invaluable. You need an attorney that understands both the chemistry and procedural aspects of breath/blood testing, as well as an understanding of the punitive damages to which you are entitled.

    Commercial Drivers

    Clients that hold a CDL or commercial Driver License or that have been charged with DUI/DWI need to take immediate action to protect their rights. Your driver's license can be suspended if you do not schedule an administrative hearing within ten days of your arrest. Call Simms & Associates immediately.  They can take action to stop the suspension of your license and keep your driving privilege while they defend your case in court.
