30 Day Warning

If you have been arrested for DUI in Blue Ridge GA, you only have thirty (30) days from your arrest to appeal the automatic suspension of your Georgia driver's license. Saving your license is the first step of your DUI defense.

However, if you refused the State's testing of your blood, breath, or urine, the suspension will be for twelve months.
