DUI and Traffic Violations

A significant part of our practice involves defending individuals accused of driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. This has become a highly-specialized and complicated area of law.

In our experience, most individuals arrested for DUI are often facing a serious criminal charge for the first time in their lives. We understand our DUI clients are law-abiding citizens who never imagined needing to hire an attorney. They are terrified at the prospect of losing their ability to drive, their job, and even their freedom.

No attorney should promise you victory in court and not every DUI charge can be defeated. As our client, however, we will promise to devote our full professional abilities to your cause as we work to achieve either an acquittal or a reduction of your charges. We are well-versed in recent changes to Georgia DUI laws as well as the “science” behind DUI arrests and prosecutions. This knowledge has helped us achieve many reductions and acquittals for our clients. We also help our clients navigate the Byzantine administrative license suspension process that often accompanies DUI charges.

Lastly, many citizens are surprised that it is possible to get a DUI while operating a vehicle other than a car. Our firm is prepared to handle Boating Under the Influence cases and we have extensive experience defending “golf cart DUIs”, especially charges out of Peachtree City and Trilith.

If you or a loved one is facing a DUI charge, you should obtain legal counsel immediately. Call us today for a free consultation.
