Doraville Officers and Minor in Possession Charges

The city of Doraville has a police force, court system, prosecuting attorneys, judges, and jail all of its own. Doraville police officers make many arrests each week for DUI and minor in the possession of alcohol offenses. They also write numerous citations for public drunk and open container. If you are charged with any of these offenses, a skilled lawyer lawyer can help you get the best outcome. But why do you need a lawyer?

For young people charged with a crime in Doraville, if you enter a plea, you are accepting guilt and this will be a conviction on your criminal history forever. It does not fall off or become expunged after the passage of time. This is troubling for a young person as he or she may not know what type of career or educational plans they will desire in the future and a conviction can be an impediment. A trial is an opportunity to challenge the charge and make the Doraville prosecutor prove the city's case beyond a reasonable doubt. This is a high burden. Sometimes a good Minor in Possession or DUI lawyer can get the prosecutor to reduce the charge prior to having trial or get a conditional discharge or diversion agreement negotiated in which the charges will not go on one's lifelong record of convictions.
