Atlanta DUI Lawyers | Georgia DUI Law

I have been handling DUI cases for over 30 years. I have no way to tell you exactly but it is at least several hundred files over the years. We specialize in DUI defense and have handling thousands of DUI case all over the state but primarily in Metro Atlanta. We have had thousands of DUI cases reduced or dismissed and taken hundreds of DUI cases to jury trials. We have also been to the Georgia Supreme Court over 20 times on DUI issues. We are one of it not the most expert DUI law firm in Georgia.

All DUI cases are different and have to be judged on their own facts and circumstances so there is no way that any law firm can honestly give your a percentage or success rate. For example, most DUI cases are charged in the alternative meaning as less safe DUI and per se DUI, even with a guilty plea to DUI, one of those DUI charges will be dismissed. We do get a lot of DUI cases reduced to reckless driving from DUI.

We handles cases close to the legal limit almost everyday. We are at the cutting edge of legal arguments in getting breath tests results excluded. We are frequently asked to teach other lawyers how to fight DUI breaths at mandatory Continuing Legal Education that attorneys must attend every year.

With you not taking any field sobriety tests, it will be difficult for the State to prove you were less safe. The traffic stop is questionable in and of itself. I do not have in my notes that you took a blood or breath test after arrest, but if you did we would scrutinize the science behind the tests and make sure that all the processes, procedures and right were given to make any post arrest chemcial tests admissible in evidence.

We would scrutinize the calibration and maintenance records of the any testing, the required rights to be read and consent obtained and any potential sources of error in the testing or medical conditions that could affect your test result.

Yes, I have over 30 years of experience negotiating reductions in DUI charges.

That would depend on whether you get a DUI conviction in the first place, whether this is a first time DUI and whether we can manage the results of the administrative license suspension court process.
