With me, you get a DUI attorney who will put over three decades of trusted experience toward crafting you a powerful defense.
Understanding Georgia DUI Charges
When facing DUI charges, it’s important to understand what exactly you are accused of. In Georgia, there are two main types of such charges:
- DUI per se: Driving with a blood alcohol content (BAC) at or above the legal limit of .08%
- DUI less safe: Driving while drugs or alcohol impair your safe driving abilities, regardless of BAC
As a skilled DUI attorney, I can help you understand what specific charges you face, what evidence could be critical in your case and what your options are.
The Long-Term Consequences Of A DUI Conviction
A DUI conviction can have significant long-term impacts on many things, including:
- Your financial stability: Through fines, fees and higher insurance costs
- Your freedom: Through potential jail time
- Your driver’s license: Through suspensions of a year or more
- Your career: By putting a permanent mark on your Georgia criminal record
So, when drunk driving charges arise, you need a trusted DUI attorney fighting for you.
Facing Accusations Of Repeat DUI
The stakes are even higher for alleged repeat drunk driving offenses. These charges carry harsher penalties. A fourth or higher DUI offense rises to the level of being a felony. Georgia’s lookback period when it comes to repeat offenses is 10 years. This means prior offenses within this time frame can impact your current case. I understand the seriousness of repeat DUI charges, and I’m ready to help you fight them as your Atlanta criminal defense lawyer.
Contesting DUI Charges
There are many ways to try to reduce or eliminate DUI charges such as:
- Challenging the legality of the traffic stop
- Questioning the accuracy of a BAC test
- Negotiating a plea deal
- Seeking alternative sentencing options
Finding the right strategies for your case is critical. This is where a skilled DUI attorney can make a huge difference. I will carefully analyze your case and build a defense tailored to your needs.
