Protecting the Driving Rights of Atlanta’s Citizens

Political pressure from anti-drunk driving groups has resulted in extremely strict DUI laws in America – especially in most recent years. If you have been accused of Driving Under the Influence (DUI) in Georgia, it’s imperative that you contact a lawyer quickly! DUI is a serious charge that carries consequences that follow you for the rest of your life.

In the state of Georgia, you are DUI with a Blood Alcohol Level (BAL) of .08 or higher. If law enforcement suspects that you are driving drunk, you will be asked to perform Field Sobriety Test(s) (FST) or asked to submit to a chemical test using a Breathalyzer or similar machine. FSTs can range from walking and turning, standing on one leg, to Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN). Unfortunately these tests assume some level of physical competence that not everyone is fit for. What if you have a bad knee or arthritis that causes you pain when you walk? An experienced DUI lawyer understands how to successfully defend negative test results.

A DUI accusation in Georgia prompts a separate charge regarding your driving privileges. An Administrative License Suspension (ALS) is triggered upon failing or refusing testing. Suspension can range quite a bit depending on the number of incidents. Remember that the ALS is a separate case than the criminal court case you will also face.

A DUI conviction means a lot of life changes. It may result in an ignition interlock device being installed on your vehicle, traveling complications, alcohol assessment, difficulty retaining a job and finding new employment, a source of embarrassment with family and friends and most sobering of all – your freedom. Jail time is a real possibility, particularly for multiple offenders or serious incidents involving injuries or deaths.
