Atlanta DUI Attorney
Handling DUI Charges in the Atlanta & Fulton County
Immediately contacting an Atlanta DUI attorney is the most important thing you can do if you have been arrested for drunk driving or any related criminal offense in the Atlanta area. Not only are you at risk of facing criminal charges for
DUI, but you are also in danger of having your
driver's license suspended by the Georgia Department of Driver's Services (DDS). You will have only 10 days from the date or your arrest to contact the DDS to schedule a hearing regarding the administrative suspension of your driver's license.
Failure to schedule this hearing will result in the automatic suspension of your driving privileges, even if you are not eventually convicted of driving under the influence. At your ALS hearing and in any criminal court proceedings related to your DUI charges, your attorney will play an important role in protecting your legal rights and seeking the best possible outcome for your particular case. A former DUI prosecutor who has handled more than one hundred jury trials, Atlanta DUI attorney Richard S. Lawson is here to offer you the experienced, aggressive legal representation you need in the face of your drunk driving charges.
Aggressive DUI Defense Lawyer in Atlanta
It may be that you performed poorly on field sobriety tests or showed a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or greater on a
breath test or blood test. You may feel that your only opportunity of avoiding maximum penalties will be to accept a
plea bargain offered by the prosecuting attorney. What you may not know is that a
DUI defense lawyer may be able to effectively defend you against a conviction entirely. Challenging the evidence and officer's testimony against you may grant your lawyer the opportunity of proving that the government's case against you simply does not prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
