Dunwoody DUI Cases

The city of Dunwoody has a city hall, police force, prosecutors, judges, and a court system all of its own. The court is located across the street from Perimeter Mall. Like other areas of Atlanta with many restraurants and bars, Dunwoody is becoming a hotspot for law enforcement officers to make arrests for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol ( DUI ). The Dunwoody officers cannot stop you at random - they need an articulable suspicion to stop you. This is usually found in a run of the mill traffic offense like failure to yield or running a red light. They pull you over and the officer will likely ask you if you have been drinking or using drugs. They may ask you several questions or get right into the field sobriety tests and roadside breath testing. If they feel that you have not performed well on their tests, the Dunwoody officer will put you under arrest for DUI. Failure to take the breathalyzer will usually result in the officer seeking a one year suspension of your Georgia drivers license with no limited permit. DUI offenses carry with them jail time, probation, and high fines and fees. A DUI stays on your record forever. But these cases can be won! Call a Dunwoody DUI lawyer today to discuss your case.
