When ex-football star Kenny Stabler needed help fighting a drunken-driving charge this summer, he turned to one of a handful of lawyers in Alabama who focus almost exclusively on DUI defense work.

Stabler’s attorney, Mark Polson, represents DUI defendants all over the state. Polson successfully defended Stabler last month in Robertsdale Municipal Court, winning an acquittal for the former University of Alabama quarterback.

The group also includes a lawyer in Montgomery who is the former dean of the National College for DUI Defense, and a Huntsville counselor who has his own Dr ger breath-test machine.
