DUI DEFENSE

A DUI charge in Georgia can affect your license, insurance, job, and criminal record. We review the traffic stop, field sobriety testing, breath or blood evidence, and whether your rights were protected.

RECKLESS DRIVING

Reckless driving is more than a traffic ticket. It can add points to your license, increase insurance costs, and create a criminal record.


DRUG POSSESSION

Even a misdemeanor drug charge can create problems for employment, school, housing, and your future. We look at search issues, probable cause, possession evidence, and options that may help avoid a conviction.

RECORD RESTRICTION

Possible Criminal Defense Strategies

Every case is different, but defense strategies may include:


  • Illegal traffic stop
  • Lack of probable cause
  • Unlawful search or seizure
  • Faulty breath or blood testing
  • Weak witness testimony
  • Mistaken identity
  • Insufficient evidence
  • Violation of constitutional rights
  • Negotiating reduced charges
  • Seeking dismissal where possible

Should I talk to the police after an arrest?

In most cases, you should be polite, provide basic identifying information, and ask to speak with an attorney before answering questions.


Will I go to jail for a first offense?

It depends on the charge, your record, the facts, and the court. A defense attorney can explain the possible penalties and work to reduce the consequences.


Should I plead guilty at my first court date?

Not before speaking with a criminal defense attorney. A guilty plea can create a permanent record and other consequences.


Can a criminal record be restricted in Georgia?

Some cases may qualify for record restriction, depending on the charge, outcome, and Georgia law.


What happens at arraignment?

An arraignment is usually where the charge is formally presented and a plea is entered. Having an attorney involved before this date can help protect your options.
