A failure to request the hearing or install the device will result in the suspension of your Georgia driver's license. The filing fee is $150 if you request the hearing. If you have been accused of refusing the breath, blood, or urine test, your license will be suspended for one year with no chance of a limited permit.

Are You Currently Facing DUI Charges in Jackson, Georgia?

Facing DUI charges can be a humiliating and even frightening experience. Law enforcement, the arrest, being booked at the police station and spending time in a holding cell is upsetting for almost anyone. Unfortunately, this is only the beginning of what could be a serious legal problem. A DUI conviction, even the first offense, can result in jail time, fines, suspension of your driver's license, court-ordered community service, and enforced attendance at an alcohol education program. You will likely be on probation for months if you do not go to jail. Should you violate probation, such as failing to pay the fines on time or not completing your program, you could get the full sentence, which in first time DUI cases can be up to a year in jail. It is crucial that you contact a Jackson GA DUI Lawyer as soon after the arrest as possible.

If you have prior DUI convictions on record within the past 5 years, the penalties that you may be facing are much more severe. You could spend 90 days to one year in jail, face a three-year suspension of your driver's license, pay up to $1000 in fines or more. All of these penalties involved with a second, third, or fourth DUI will result in extreme life changes, and it may be challenging to get a job, loan or place to live in the future. Don't wait to seek professional legal help from a DUI attorney so that you can fight your charges with the best legal representation possible.
