Criminal Defense Law Firm Handling Cumming, GA Drunk Driving Cases
Most people don't realize that you don't have to be legally drunk (.08 percent blood alcohol level) to get arrested for driving under the influence in the State of Georgia. Even if your BAC result is below the legal limit, the police officer can still arrest you as a "Less-Safe Driver" if he or she suspects your driving is impaired. Drivers may also be arrested for DUI when driving under the influence of narcotics, recreational drugs, marijuana, and certain prescription medicines, such as painkillers (even if you have a legal prescription).
Once you're arrested, you still have the right to defend yourself against any kind of alcohol- or drug-related charges. Our team of DUI defense attorneys has helped many Georgia residents. We use our greatest strengths—our legal knowledge, experience, skill, and all resources at our disposal—to challenge the case against you, detail by detail.
Losing Your GA Driver's License in a DUI Arrest
Once you're arrested, you have ten days to take action to preserve your driving privileges. In Georgia, the Department of Driver's Services may immediately file a civil suit that seeks to suspend your Georgia driver's license when you're arrested for DUI. You must respond swiftly with a request for an administrative hearing to defend your driving privileges. If you fail to request the hearing, losing your license is almost guaranteed.
This is a separate case from your criminal proceeding.
DUI Penalties in Forsyth County, GA
In Georgia, a first offense for an alcohol-related traffic violation means fines, time in jail, probation, community service, and the loss of your driving privileges if you're convicted.
