DUI Charges in Greene County GA

As you may already know, a driving under the influence (DUI) arrest can bring serious consequences in the state of Georgia. Jail sentences, probation, court fees, license suspension, community service, stiff fines, increased insurance premiums, and a criminal record are all potential standard consequences of even a first time DUI conviction.

There is no time to waste if you or a loved one have been charged with DUI in Greene County GA. The accused only has 30 days to request a hearing with the Department of Driver Services in order to avoid an automatic suspension of their driver's license. This is separate from the criminal case in which the accused faces jail time, probation, fines, and community service. Our Greene County GA DUI Lawyers know how to successfully resolve both the DDS case as well as your criminal case and keep the consequences to a minimum. We have another invaluable tool along with our decades of experience, our founder, Richard Lawson, formally served as a Georgia prosecutor before opening his own firm. This experience gives us the upper hand because we know how the State thinks and know how to best defend against their arguments.
