Does it make a difference if a person hires a Georgia DUI Lawyer?

A Georgia DUI arrest may be embarrassing, confusing, frustrating, and can have a significant impact on your life. Georgia’s DUI laws are complicated and can lead to extremely harsh penalties that can affect your ability to work, go to school, and seek future employment. Having the best possible legal defense in Georgia is very important.

A DUI arrest often means facing jail time, steep fines and the suspension of your driver’s license.  Just because those things can happen, does not mean they must happen.  The role of your Georgia DUI Lawyer is to help you get the best outcome in your case.  The answer is simple.  You do need a Georgia DUI Lawyer.

Defending a DUI charge in Georgia requires knowledge of proper stop and arrest procedure, blood alcohol concentration and testing, constitutional law, field sobriety testing, sentencing and driver’s license implications. Besides focusing on legal issues in your DUI defense, court procedures can be a confusing maze of rules and statutes that will affect the outcome of your case.

Even if there is significant evidence against you, procedures during the arrest process may not have been correctly followed and certain evidence may be challenged so that is inadmissible at trial and cannot be used against you. Georgia DUI Defense is complicated and should only be handled by attorneys knowledgeable about the latest case law and DUI defenses.

One of the worst things you can do is walk into a courtroom for the first time completely unprepared with little or no knowledge of how to proceed. There are filing deadlines that can drastically affect how your case proceeds and you will need the advice and counsel of an experienced DUI attorney to help you through the process. An attorney will help you understand the strengths and weaknesses of your case and will provide you with information so that you know exactly what to expect at each stage of your case.
