Knowledgeable DUI Defense Lawyer Serving Sandy Springs

Each case must be carefully reviewed and evaluated to advise you what can be done to defend your specific charges. There are often strong defense possibilities in these cases and with a careful assessment of the details in your case, the legal team will move forward to defend you. In some cases there have been serious errors in procedure, either in the arrest, or possible violations of constitutional rights in probable cause or search and seizure. When errors are found, they will be exploited on behalf of the client with challenges filed in the court. In other cases, the evidence against you may be flawed in some way, including false readings on the breath test or blood test, or incorrectly performed field sobriety tests. There are a multitude of options, depending upon the exact details of your case.

In such cases, a conviction can result in a lengthy prison or jail term,and a felony conviction can destroy your life as you know it.

It is vital that you do not discuss your case or answer questions by law enforcement without first contacting our firm and getting legal representation to advise you. Many individuals charged with DUI have discovered that they should have had a lawyer before speaking out and as a result, they have made their case more difficult to defend. Time is of the essence and the faster you move, the faster the defense can get on the case and the more likely a better outcome can be achieved.
