dui defense

In Georgia, there are two forms of DUI; per se DUI, and less-safe DUI. A per se DUI, is where someone is accused of operating a motor vehicle within three hours of having a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 grams. A less-safe DUI is where someone is accused of operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol to where it was less safe for them to drive. 

Penalties for DUIs can vary greatly and depend on factors such as whether the accused has any prior DUIs, or whether there was property damage or injury to persons during the drunk driving. An experienced and knowledgeable DUI lawyer can fight the State’s evidence in many ways, including by showing the inaccuracy of the State’s testing methods or by challenging the traffic stop that resulted in the DUI arrest. 

Being charged with a DUI is serious business and you should not attempt to handle it by yourself or with a cut-price lawyer. A DUI is a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail, and can also lead to the suspension of your license.
