State v. D.B

The client was charged with a second DUI in Sandy Springs Georgia.  The other DUI was from another State.  For whatever reason, the court and the prosecutor were unaware of the other offense.  As a result, we were able to get the client a Georgia Drivers license and then enter a plea of guilty as if it was a first Georgia DUI.  As a result, the client was able to keep his job, keep his drivers license, and continue on with his life.  The lesson was to never assume a case is on a person's record.  Always investigate a case, including prior offenses.  Any incorrect assumption would have cost the client his drivers license and his freedom. As a Sandy Springs DUI Attorney, I never assume the worst, and I never assist the government in the prosecution of my clients.
