Rabun County DUI Defense

DUI is a specialized area of law that requires a complete understanding of the laws, the tests used as evidence, the practices and policies of law enforcement, and the court system. There is a lot of complexities in a DUI case, so your Rabun County DUI attorney must be aware of what these things are and how they work and how to use that knowledge for your benefit.

Every case is unique and will need a specific strategy to be successful. There are specific ways a DUI can be fought, and here are just a few of the ways our DUI lawyers in Rabun County will help you:

• Representing you at your ALS hearing to help keep your driving privileges
• Investigation whether there was a violation of any constitutional rights, like failure to have reasonable suspicion to pull you over and improper search and seizure of your person or property.

How Our Rabun County DUI Attorneys Can Help

Our lawyers are dedicated to understanding the tools, techniques, and science used by law enforcement to detect and ultimately prosecute DUI cases.
