Arrested for DUI in Georgia?
Time Is Critical.
A DUI arrest in Georgia is more than a criminal charge. It can immediately place your driver's license, employment, finances, and future at risk. Even a first offense may result in jail, fines, probation, community service, mandatory DUI education, increased insurance premiums, and a permanent criminal record if convicted.
Most importantly, an arrest is not a conviction. The State must prove its case, and every DUI arrest should be thoroughly reviewed before you make any decisions.
Don't Miss the 30-Day Deadline to Protect Your Driver's License
Time is of the essence.
If you were arrested for DUI in Georgia and refused the State-administered chemical test or submitted to testing and your alcohol concentration was at or above the legal limit, you generally have only 30 days from the date of your arrest to request an Administrative License Suspension (ALS) Hearing with the Georgia Department of Driver Services.
Failing to request a timely hearing may result in the automatic suspension of your Georgia driver's license for up to 12 months, and you may lose the opportunity to obtain certain driving privileges that might otherwise be available under Georgia law.
The administrative license suspension proceeding is completely separate from your criminal DUI case. Even if your criminal charges have not been resolved, your driving privileges may still be affected if you do not act promptly.
Every day matters.
Call 50GotMe immediately so we can evaluate your case, explain your rights, and determine whether an ALS Hearing should be requested to preserve your legal options.
