Hamilton GA DUI Charges

Facing DUI charges can be a humiliating and even frightening experience. Law enforcement, the arrest, being booked at the police station, and spending time in a holding cell is upsetting for almost anyone. Unfortunately, this is only the beginning of what could be a serious legal problem. Even a first DUI conviction can result in jail time, fines, suspension of your driver's license, court-ordered community service, and enforced attendance at an alcohol education program. You will likely be on probation for months if you do not go to jail. Should you violate probation, such as failing to pay the fines on time or not completing your program, you could get the full sentence, which in first time DUI cases can be up to a year in jail. It is crucial that you contact a Hamilton GA DUI Lawyer as soon after the arrest as possible.
