Charged With DUI In Georgia?

Being arrested for DUI is a nerve-wracking and complex situation to find yourself in. Given that driving under the influence is a criminal matter in Georgia, law enforcement will likely treat you as such.

What To Do If You’ve Been Arrested For DUI

If you’ve been arrested for DUI, staying calm and informed is key. It is important to remember that every action you take from the moment you are pulled over can influence the outcome of your case. Whether you’re cooperating with police or seeking legal advice, making thoughtful choices can help you manage the repercussions of your charges and move forward with clarity.

Upon contact with law enforcement, exercise your right to remain silent and request an attorney. You should steer clear of making incriminating statements and avoid consenting to any tests without proper legal insight. Once you contact an attorney, they will be able to walk you through the details of your unique circumstances.

How To Defend Yourself Against DUI Charges

DUI defense requires a strategic approach. Upon hiring an attorney for DUI charges, they will analyze the specifics of your case and establish a viable legal plan with which to move forward. They can challenge the legality of the traffic stop, the accuracy of the field sobriety tests or breathalyzer, and call the arresting officer’s actions into question.
