Lithonia DUI by Out of State Driver

If you were arrested for DUI while being a resident of another State, you must take take the DUI arrest very seriously and obtain immediate representation. Even though you do not reside in Georgia, a DUI conviction can cause you to lose both your privilege to drive in Georgia and even your driver's license in your home state. Many people are unaware that if you are convicted in Lithonia or anywhere else in Georgia of DUI, that conviction will be reported to your home state.

The Law Offices of Richard S. Lawson has extensive experience defending out of state drivers. When charged with DUI in Lithonia, there will be two separate prosecutions and two types of driver's license suspensions: the Department of Driver Services case and the criminal proceeding. The DDS case is usually resolved by requesting an administrative license suspension (ALS) hearing within 30 days of your arrest. The criminal case is when additional punishments are considered such as: jail time, community service, DUI school, and more. In both situations, your Lithonia DUI Attorney can handle most of the court appearances for you so you don't have to travel back to Georgia for court. However, there will be mandatory appearances that your attorney will let you know of.

Even if you are not a resident of Georgia, you can be punished just as harshly as anyone else. A first DUI charge can be extremely disruptive to your life and result in jail time, community service, or an alcohol and drug treatment program. With penalties as harsh as these, it is in your best interest to hire an experienced DUI Attorney in Lithonia.
