What Happens After the Arrest? 

If you are arrested for DUI, you're more than likely concerned about what will happen to your driver's license, car, and job. You are probably also concerned about having a permanent criminal record. First, there is only a short amount of time from your arrest date to fight to keep your license from being suspended. By contacting us for a free case evaluation, one of our Whitesburg DUI Lawyers could find mistakes made during your arrest that could result in winning your ALS hearing so that you may keep your Georgia driving privilege.

You need to act quickly since the likelihood of finding errors is based on the unique details of your arrest.  That is because law enforcement officers have strict policies and procedures to follow during DUI arrests. After carefully reviewing your case, our DUI Lawyers in Whitesburg will learn what your options are in fighting your case.  If any of the procedures were not correctly followed, that could be the key to dismissing your case, therefore eliminating further the high costs of additional fines and fees that accompany a guilty plea or DUI conviction.

The penalties you could face following a DUI conviction include jail time, a license suspension, hefty fines, alcohol abuse counseling/treatment, and more. The particulars of these penalties vary depending on any aggravating circumstances involved, such as an accident, or hit-and-run.

How to Fight a Whitesburg Charge

You should be aware that just because you have been charged with DUI does not mean you do not have rights and cannot have a successful case. There could be details of your arrest that can lead to a dismissal of your DUI charge.

The prosecuting attorney depends on the officer's police report that could include any chemical test results a field sobriety test results to use against you. However, these tests may be challenged and proven unreliable if they are not done properly. Whether it is your first DUI arrest or second offense, time is not on your side in finding courses of action to take based on your arrest details and challenging any collected evidence. That is why it is critical to contact our Whitesburg DUI Attorneys as soon as possible after an arrest!
