Georgia Drunk Driving Defense Lawyer
In the state of Georgia, if you are arrested for a DUI, you have only 10 days to request a 1025 hearing where you can challenge the suspension of your privilege to drive. If this hearing is not requested, it will result in an automatic license suspension 30 days after the arrest was made.
In addition to those penalties, a first-time DUI arrest and conviction may also include penalties such as:
- $300 to $1,000 in fines
- 12 months probation
- 40 hours of community service
- Driver's risk reduction course, which is mandatory
- At least one full day in jail, with possible 10 days to one year in jail
- Driver's license suspension
Legal representation is critical after an arrest for a DUI. If you go to court by yourself and do not speak with attorney, you could easily waive your rights without knowing it and limit the options you have for defense. The Schiffer Firm, L.L.C., can provide experienced and aggressive defense for DUI charges in Georgia.
