DUI charges are among the most common criminal charges filed against individuals in the State of Georgia (not including simple traffic tickets, which are technically "criminal" violations). Even for a first offense, the penalties can be serious- including license suspension, fines, mandatory attendance at alcohol programs, and potential jail time. In addition, a DUI conviction stays on your DMVS driving record permanently, and may result in higher insurance premiums. Furthermore, you may become ineligible for credit, and even lose your employment. If you have prior convictions, stopped for speeding, or had an accident while driving under the influence, the penalties may be far worse. If you have been accused of driving under the influence, I can help you successfully navigate the criminal process and provide you with strong, professional legal representation.
