30 Day Warning

If you have been arrested for DUI in Hogansville, you only have 30 days to save your license from suspension. You must file a letter requesting an administrative license suspension (ALS) hearing or install an ignition interlock device in your vehicle to save your license. If you fail to request the letter or install the device within 30 days, then your license will automatically suspended. However, if you refused the State's testing of your blood, breath, or urine, your license will be automatically suspended for twelve months.

Hiring A DUI Attorney For Your Case

When looking for a DUI attorney in Hogansville, you need to do your research and select an attorney with decades of experience. Anyone who graduates from law school and passes the Bar can call themselves a DUI lawyer. You need an Hogansville DUI lawyer that not only calls themselves a DUI lawyer, but that actually has a reputation and track record as a DUI lawyer.

A common mistake we see is hiring a close family friend that does not work in DUI law but is willing to help you out. DUI is a particular area of the law and the lawyer that handled your divorce, wrote your will, or helped you sue someone may not be the right choice for you. Even an attorney that practices general criminal defense may not have the expertise you need. 

That is why we tell our clients to do research! We encourage people to become familiar with Georgia DUI laws and be prepared with questions for the attorneys you intend to talk to. Read reviews of the attorneys and get to know whether they have experience handling Hogansville DUI cases. Exploring websites is a useful tool because you can tell whether an attorney adds their own content to a site or whether they are just paying for a generic site.

Our Hogansville DUI Lawyers often hear clients say they hired an attorney based on price. Making the decision about who to hire based on the fee may be a very costly mistake. An attorney that charges a higher fee may do so because of their significant knowledge, skill, and reputation in the community. Investing in effective representation may actually save you thousands over the long term and greatly diminish the impact of a DUI charge on your life.

We also encourage our clients to call multiple lawyers. Ask questions and get to know the person that will be handling your case. Then make your decision based on who you think will best represent you. Try to ignore the price, family ties, or anything else other than who you feel the most comfortable with your life being held.

In sum, we think it is in your best interest to hire an Hogansville DUI Lawyer that has years of experience and has demonstrated success. However, we also want you to research Georgia DUI law and know your options and be able to discern who is the best lawyer for your situation. Please free to contact our office if you have any questions regarding your DUI charge.
