You need a reputable defense attorney if you have been charged with a DUI. Your liberty, reputation, and privilege to drive are on the line. Our practice is dedicated to providing the DUI defense in Atlanta, Georgia.

DUI Convictions

In Georgia, Driving Under the Influence (DUI) of drugs or alcohol is a crime that now includes mandatory jail time. Georgia laws indicate that the state can convict someone of DUI if one of the following occurs:

  1. The driver had a 0.08 grams or more blood alcohol concentration within three hours of operating a vehicle.
  2. The driver is deemed “less safe” to operate a vehicle through proof of alcohol or other intoxicants.

If you are convicted of DUI, the penalties are severe. Jail time, fines, and DUI school are not the only consequences; convictions can also lead to community service, probation, license suspension, difficulty renting a vehicle, paying high insurance rates, and compromising certain career paths.

Because of the possible repercussions, facing a DUI charge can be terrifying, intimidating, and consuming; however, retaining an experienced DUI defense lawyer will put your mind at ease.

General Information:

Field Tests & The 30-Day Rule

If you are pulled over under suspicion of DUI and asked to perform field tests, by complying, you help the police manufacture evidence against you, which will be used in court. Therefore, we recommend avoiding any sobriety evaluation by respectfully declining.

While you may refuse to participate in field sobriety tests in Georgia, it does not protect you from an arrest. Under implied consent, refusing to take a breathalyzer, urine, or blood test can result in license suspension.

Certain situations result in the 30-Day Rule in which you have only 30 days to request a special hearing; failure to do so may result in a one-year suspension of your driver’s license. If any of the following statements are true of your DUI arrest, the 30-Day Rule applies to you, and you must act now:

  • You took the test, and your blood alcohol level was .08 or higher.
  • You refused to take the test.
  • You tried to take the test, but they said you refused.
  • You were under 21 on the day of your arrest, and your test result was .02 or higher.
  • You have a CDL, were in your rig when arrested, and your blood alcohol level was .04 or higher.
  • You are not sure what my blood alcohol level was.
