DUI Charges in Georgia: What You Should Know
By Michael Barber
A DUI charge in Georgia can lead to serious consequences, including fines, license suspension, probation, and possible jail time. Under Georgia law, drivers may face DUI charges if they operate a vehicle while impaired by alcohol, drugs, or prescription medications, or if their blood alcohol concentration exceeds the legal limit.
Even a first-time DUI offense can affect your driving privileges, employment opportunities, insurance rates, and criminal record. Georgia also enforces strict deadlines for challenging license suspensions after an arrest.
Several defenses may apply in a DUI case, including improper traffic stops, inaccurate breath or blood testing, and violations of constitutional rights. Because every case is different, it is important to have an experienced attorney review the facts and evidence.
