Georgia DUI Defense Attorney
Serving all of Georgia
DUI charges are considered a serious legal matter in the State of Georgia. The penalties are severe and usually include jail time, community service, fines, mandatory risk reduction programs, and a suspended license – even for a first offense. Finding the right DUI defense lawyer should be done right away, as the timeline for handling all aspects of these cases is very tight. The best possible time to contact a Georgia DUI defense lawyer is immediately after the arrest. When you are arrested for DUI, you will be “booked” at the police station. Shortly afterwards, you will be allowed to make a phone call. Your first call should be to a DUI attorney from the Law Offices of Richard S. Lawson.
The DUI Process in Georgia involves several key steps in which the suspected driver is charged and has the option of an
ALS hearing prior to conviction. A Georgia DUI defense lawyer can request the hearing, schedule it, and speak on your behalf during the hearing to present defense evidence for your case. If you are trying to decide whether to accept a
plea bargain vs. trial, it is important to have the legal advice of a skilled lawyer. In some cases, it may be best to accept a plea bargain and other times, it makes more sense to go to trial to get the "not guilty" verdict. If you are charged with
refusal / alleged refusal regarding
blood & breath tests or
field sobriety tests, you will face an extended driver's license suspension for a year or more. A
suspended license can seriously interfere with your life by restricting your ability to travel to work. If you did not receive your DUI at a
roadside checkpoint, a DUI attorney may be able to prove that you were pulled over without necessary cause, and you may avoid conviction.
