DUI Defense

Lawrenceville DUI Lawyers

Being charged with a DUI in Georgia is a serious matter that can have significant consequences on your future. It is essential in these cases that you retain the help of an attorney who has the experience and skill you need to build a strategic and personalized defense. DUI cases can be complex, involving a number of legal procedures and multiple points where things can go wrong for both sides of a case. These issues can range from why you were stopped in the first place to questionable police procedures, ineffectual sobriety tests, potentially faulty breathalyzer equipment, health and medical factors, and other potential problems that can invalidate DUI charges. At Dobbins Law, LLC, our attorneys know what to look for and how to challenge the prosecution’s evidence.

Backed by over a decade of combined professional experience, including work as a former prosecutor, we have deep familiarity with the criminal justice system and a reputation for providing the personal attention you need and deserve at such a critical time. We understand the impact a conviction can have on your freedom and future. We know that your legal case is likely the most important issue you’re facing and one that can have repercussions for years. You can be assured that our firm will work aggressively on your behalf.

DUI in Georgia

You can be charged with DUI (driving under the influence) in Georgia when you are found to be driving or in control of your vehicle when:

Your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) measures .08 percent or higher and you are over 21 years old
You are a minor and your BAC measures .02 percent or higher
You hold a commercial driver's license (CDL) and your BAC is .04 percent or higher
You are impaired by alcohol or drugs to the extent that you were driving unsafely, even if your BAC measures less than the legal limit
You are found to have any amount of a controlled substance in your urine or blood
There is probable cause that you are under the influence of THC (the intoxicating component of marijuana) while behind the wheel

A first-offense DUI is generally considered a misdemeanor that carries an array of potential penalties. These can include:

24 hours to 1 year of jail time
Fines of $300 to $1,000
40 hours of community service
License suspension for up to a year
Mandatory DUI Alcohol or Drug Use Risk Reduction Program
Possible ignition interlock installation, at your own expense

Second and subsequent DUI convictions within a 10-year period come with increasing penalties, including a year of jail time, $5,000 in fines, 5-year license suspension, and classification as a habitual offender for a third conviction. If this occurs, your vehicle will also be confiscated.

Aggravated DUI

The above penalties can be harsher when your charges are “aggravated” by the following circumstances:

Your BAC exceeded .15 percent
You have three or more DUI convictions on your record
You caused a serious injury or were responsible for the death of another

An aggravated DUI conviction can result in 2 to 20 years of jail time and several thousand dollars in fines, depending on the circumstances. You may also be liable for civil penalties if you caused harm or damage to another or their property.

Trusted Advocates for Life’s Toughest Challenges

We’re ready to stand by your side and fight for the resolution you deserve.

Georgia’s Implied Consent Laws

In Georgia, as in many other states, earning a driver’s license implies that you will consent to chemical testing, including breathalyzer, saliva, blood, and urine tests, if stopped on suspicion of driving under the influence. You do have the right to refuse chemical testing, but if you do, your driver’s license will be suspended for one year, regardless if you are found guilty or not. Law enforcement can also use this refusal as evidence against you in court.

In any DUI case, it is important that you stay calm and comply with police requests, but politely decline to answer any questions without having an attorney present. At Dobbins Law, LLC, we know what to look for in deconstructing the charges against you, how to expose flaws and failures on the part of the other side, and how to help you fight for your future and freedom.
