Atlanta Drunk Driver Accident Attorney
If you have been arrested for drunk driving in Georgia, you need to be aware that a DUI can have immediate ramifications on your driving privileges. In fact, you have only 10 days after your arrest to make sure your license isn’t suspended by the Department of Driver Services. Consulting an attorney as soon as possible after your arrest is extremely important.
Georgia law comes down hard on those accused of drunk driving, even on a first offense. Those convicted of DUI face jail time, steep fines and loss of driving privileges. A DUI lawyer in North Georgia (including Marietta) can help make sure that your rights are protected throughout all of your dealings with the law, fight for your driving privileges and help you choose the best course of action for your situation.
A DUI can be particularly devastating to those who hold a commercial driver’s license (CDL). If you have a CDL or are employed to drive for a living, a DUI, even a first offense, is likely to cause you to lose your job or be unemployable in that field. For this reason, it is imperative that you contact a DUI lawyer in North Georgia so that steps can be taken to protect your driving record and career.
DUIs are much more technical than regular traffic offenses, so it is important to hire an attorney that has significant experience representing those accused of DUI. Your attorney should have a great degree of knowledge in the field concerning roadside stops, field sobriety tests and chemical tests of bodily fluids—knowing what constitutes an illegal roadside stop and how to dispute evidence gained from field sobriety tests and chemical tests of bodily fluids.
At David West & Associates, we have years of training and experience representing those facing DUI charges in North Georgia (including Marietta) and know what it takes to successfully defend someone facing these types of charges. We will fight to keep you out of jail, keep your driving record clean and make sure your job is not jeopardized.
