Docket 001

Dothan Criminal Attorneys

Being charged with a crime is one of the most harrowing ordeals a person can experience. Our expert Dothan criminal defense attorneys have extensive experience in defending clients against the most serious of charges, including drugs and weapns charges, murder, conspiracy, computer crimes, theft, assault, and more, in both State and Federal courts. While sometimes a zealously negotiated plea agreement is the right course of action in a particular case, we are by no means “plea attorneys” – in fact, we prefer trying cases to a jury, requiring the Government to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt, and our trial record demonstrates this preference. We have tried many criminal jury trials to a verdict and love hear those two satisfying words: “NOT GUILTY.”

Docket 002

Dothan Divorce Attorneys

A divoce is often an emotional roller coaster, and sometimes clients feel as though the legal aspect of a divorce is secondary consideration. However, in divorce litigation, the human condition is exactly the reason why you need the most competent representation of your interests that you can possibly acquire. The Dothan legal team of Boles Holmes White has several experienced divorce attorneys who have tried domestic cases, involving issues ranging from abuse and neglect to child custody and property settlements. We recognize that divorce cases can be emotionally draining on both parties, and our extensive experience allows us to comprehensively advise our clients, but also effectively negotiate and litigate on behalf of our family law clients.

Docket 004

Dothan DUI Attorneys

Alabama DUI laws are only getting tougher, as members of the Alabama legislature seem determined to use this area of criminal law to demonstrate their “toughness” on crime. This makes it difficult to plead guilty without losing your driver’s license and even your job. Some circumstances also require costly ignition interlock devices. Often, when charged with DUI, you have a better chance fighting the case, even if you believe you might be guilty. Our DUI attorneys will review the facts and provide a complete defense for our DUI clients. DUI charges can be beaten in court, even those involving incriminating field sobriety and breath tests.

Docket 006

White Collar Attorneys

Perhaps our firm’s greatest legal victories have come in the field known as “white collar crime.” Early in his career as a young attorney, William White, assisted the team of lawyers representing Healthsouth CEO Richard Scrushy for $3 billion in securities fraud (Scrushy’s attorney obtained a full acquittal on all counts). After this experience, Attorney White was retained to represent Alabama state senator Harri Anne Smith, charged with conspiracy, federal programs bribery, wire fraud, and money laundering (full acquittal on all counts). In addition, Attorney White has represented numerous politicians, business leaders, healthcare professionals, and other attorneys which has established William White as an experienced white collar criminal defense attorney. For more information on this distinguished area of our practice, please visit our white collar practice website. If you are the target of an investigation or have been indicted by the State or Federal authorities on such a matter, you need to place your defense in the competent hands of our Dothan white collar criminal defense attorneys.

Dothan Bankruptcy Attorneys

The problems that arise from financial insecurity are wide-ranging, and often extend far beyond the financial issues. In fact, the impact can be so devastating as to have an effect on one’s health. If you find yourself under the financial strain of unpaid bills, harassing creditors, and the mounting inability to provide for you and your family, bankruptcy might be an important option to consider. Our expert bankruptcy attorneys can provide a consultation and discuss your options in a caring and sensitive way. We can also help guide you through the processes of various debt relief solutions, including bankruptcy, to ensure you obtain the maximum relief to which you are entitled. Your first step to gaining that “fresh start” is to give us a call, and let us put our experience to work for you. The majority of Bankruptcy cases are not handled by the firm, but are referred to other firms with whom BHW lawyers work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to the questions people in Dothan and the Wiregrass ask most before hiring a lawyer. For anything specific to your situation, contact us for a free consultation.

Call 334-366-6086
What should I do first if I’m arrested in Dothan or Houston County?
Remain calm, exercise your right to remain silent, and politely state that you want a lawyer before answering any questions. Do not discuss your case with police, cellmates, or on recorded jail phone lines. Then contact an experienced Dothan criminal defense attorney as soon as possible — the first hours of a case often shape everything that follows.
Can a DUI charge be beaten in Alabama?
Yes. DUI charges can be beaten in court, even those involving incriminating field sobriety and breath tests. Our DUI attorneys review the stop, the testing procedures, and the toxicology evidence to build a complete defense. Often, fighting the case is a better path than a guilty plea that costs you your license.
Do you handle both State and Federal cases?
Yes. We defend clients in both Alabama State courts and Federal courts, including federal crimes, drug charges, and white collar matters, as well as regulatory investigations by agencies such as the DOJ, SEC, FDA, and USDA.
How much does a consultation cost?
Consultations are free. Call 334-366-6086 or fill out the form on this page. Representation fees depend on the type and complexity of your case and are discussed openly during your consultation — no surprises.
What if there’s a warrant out for my arrest?
Don’t wait for police to find you. Talking to a lawyer first lets you arrange the surrender on favorable terms, protect your statements, and address bond early. Read our guide: What to do When There is a Warrant for Your Arrest.
What areas do you serve?
Dothan, Houston County, and the entire Wiregrass Region of Southeast Alabama — including Abbeville, Ozark, Geneva, Troy, Enterprise, Opp, Midland City, Ashford, Webb, Columbia, Eufaula, Clayton, Kinsey, Headland, Brundidge, Elba, and Andalusia.
