1. Stemberger & Cummins: DUI LAW DUIs are serious DUIs can be devastating, and often happen to citizens who otherwise never break the law—people who have a drink at dinner with friends, and are driving safely home, but get stopped due to alleged weaving or some other claimed violation. And the punishment is great—jail time for up to 1 year, loss of all driving privileges for 1 to 5 years, thousands of dollars in fines and fees, probation, community service picking up trash, higher insurance premiums, and loss of many jobs. Our attorneys can help you deal with these charges, and get the best results possible on your case. Sobriety testing Under Georgia law, the deck is stacked against someone stopped for DUI. Police are allowed to interrogate the driver without advising of Miranda Rights to remain silent. Police can also request that drivers perform field sobriety tests that are more like gymnastics, both mental and physical, with high standards that cannot be met by most people anywhere at anytime. The police invariably form an opinion that the driver has failed the field sobriety tests, and the person is arrested and taken to jail for more breath testing, or to the hospital for tests of their blood and urine. Our experienced attorneys can expose the unfairness and inaccuracies of these sobriety tests. 10-day rule DUI laws have become so strict, due to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and other special interest groups, that DUI defendants can now get two (2) suspensions of their driver’s license as a result of one (1) arrest. DUI defendants must file a special request for hearing with the Department of Driver Services within 10 business days from the date of arrest, or they can lose their driver’s license and all driving privileges for 1 year by governmental / administrative suspension, aside from the suspension that can result in criminal / traffic court. Because the 10 days runs immediately after arrest, and because the consequences are so severe, DUI defendants must hire experienced counsel immediately to protect their rights.

3. Fanning, Steven: Aggressive DUI defense Many people experience their first arrest when pulled over for suspicion of drunk driving. A DUI arrest is frightening and can be confusing. You are probably unsure what will become of your driver's license, and whether you will have to go to jail. Getting your driver's license back When you are stopped by the police and accused of driving drunk, you will typically be asked to take a breath test. If you fail the test or refuse to take it, a suspension process will begin and you only have ten business days to request a hearing. And if you miss the ten days, then one month after your arrest your driver's license will be suspended for one year. Whether you call me before or after the ten-day rule has passed, I can help you get your license back. People who appear before the Office of State Administrative Hearings with a lawyer at their side have a much better chance of beating the suspension. If we cannot prevent the suspension, I help you obtain a permit that allows you to drive to work.

5. Lucas & Associates: Under Georgia law there are two different types of DUI: 1.) Less safe driver – which is based on the way you are driving when arrested, your appearance and demeanor. 2.) “Per se” DUI – based strictly on your blood alcohol level, more commonly referred to as “BAC”(blood alcohol consumption). URGENT: If you have been arrested for GEORGIA DUI / DWI, it is vital that you act quickly to protect your driver’s license. You have only 10 days from the date of arrest to request a DUI DMV Administrative Per Se (APS) Hearing with the GEORGIA DMV. Contact US NOW to protect your legal rights if you’ve been charged with a DUI, drunk driving, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or any drinking and driving arrest in GEORGIA. No matter how it happens, being arrested for DUI / DWI can be a frightening experience. But whatever the circumstances, drunk driving arrests require fast action. The most urgent concerns are usually finding an experienced Georgia DUI / DWI lawyer, and acting fast to prevent the automatic suspension of a driver’s license. A DUI case in Georgia triggers two different cases – a GEORGIA DMV case and a criminal court case. A driver arrested on suspicion of DUI / DWI has only 10 days after arrest – including weekends and holidays – to request a DMV hearing, or risk losing his or her driving privileges. If a hearing is not requested within 10 days, the DMV will automatically begin the process of suspending the driver’s license. The first step in a driver’s court case is arraignment. During the arraignment, the driver will be asked to enter a plea of either guilty or not guilty. Although the thought of facing a jury trial makes many accused DUI / DWI drivers nervous, there are many good reasons to fight a drunk driving charge in court. Some drivers fear that a DUI / DWI arrest means an automatic conviction, but that’s simply not true. It’s possible to fight and win a drunk driving case with the help of experienced legal counsel. Both the DMV hearing to determine driver’s license status and the criminal court case that stems from a drunk driving arrest can be successfully challenged, but these procedures can be complex, and the cost of losing can by high. An experienced GEORGIA DUI / DWI criminal defense attorney can develop an aggressive strategy to attack both the court case and the DMV action.
6. Stemberger, Cummins & Arnall: Blood alcohol level (BAC) is a term used to describe the level of alcohol in the bloodstream of a person arrested for drunk driving. It is used in court as evidence of that offense. The most common method of determining BAC is through a breath test, although blood and urine testing is done in some instances. If the level is found to be at or over .10, or .08 in some states, the test results can establish a presumption of impairment.
