State v. KH

This case was in Helen Municipal Court.  The client was charged with a DUI and four counts of DUI Child Endangerment. In Georgia, for every child under the age of 14 in a vehicle it is considered a separate DUI offense.  The client would have been declared an habitual violator from one arrest and would have had a 5-year license suspension.  The result was all four child endangerment charges were reduced to city ordinance violations.  The client received no jail-time, and left with a permit to drive.
