Is This Your First DUI Charge? 

If you have been arrested for DUI in Royston and have no prior record, you face serious penalties which can cause significant disruptions in your life. Georgia law enforcement officials are cracking down to make sure anyone caught receives sufficient punishment to prevent subsequent DUIs. A first time Georgia DUI offender can face a minimum of 24 hours in jail and a maximum of 12 months in jail. However, most of the time a judge will allow a first time DUI offender to complete their jail sentence on probation. While this seems ideal, probation comes with a lot of conditions and responsibilities. Probation can also be costly with the monthly supervision fees.

Common punishments for a first DUI in Georgia can include:

• 12 months of probation
• Alcohol and Drug counseling
• 40 hours of community service
• Fines between $300-$1,000
• 1-10 days in jail
• License suspension
• DUI School

Remember, these are punishments only if you are convicted. There are lots of DUI defenses our Royston DUI lawyers can use to defend your case. No matter the particulars of your case, there are many potential defenses to your DUI charge.
