Second DUI Charge in GA
A second DUI charge in Georgia can be a serious legal matter on its own; however; it also moves you toward the risk of a felony DUI charge. A conviction brings fines of $300 to $1,000, at least 72 hours jail time, 12 months probation, community service, DUI risk-reduction classes, and 3-years driver's license suspension. It adds to your existing criminal arrest record which will further complicate your life moving forward.
Let Us Fight the Charges
Being charged with DUI does not mean you should simply plead guilty. We can review the traffic stop procedure, field sobriety testing, chemical testing, and other case facts. Our DUI defense attorneys can challenge the prosecution to prove their allegations. Our attorneys know legal options and strategies to have charges reduced or dismissed.
Why Hire a DUI Attorney?
A second DUI case is more challenging that a first DUI case. The prosecution looks at you as if you didn't learn the first time. You will need an experienced DUI defense lawyer with a good relationship with the prosecutor's office. Your attorney can negotiate the case with prosecutors for dismissal or reduction. If the prosecutors are unyielding, your attorney can represent you in a trial. Hire a lawyer and you stand a chance.
Invest In Your Future
Because a DUI conviction can affect your driver's license, finances, criminal record, and future opportunities, obtaining legal advice early can be important. A knowledgeable attorney can protect your legal rights and work toward the most favorable outcome under the circumstances. Hire a lawyer to protect your rights, reputation, and future opportunities.

DUI DEFENSE
Our lawyers thoroughly investigate the case facts then challenge the nature of the traffic stop, field procedures, and any evidence. If the field procedure can be proven to have been flawed the entire case may be dismissed. Typically, the best expectation is having a DUI charge reduced to reckless driving.
Ross Grisham, the best decision I ever made after the worst one. He and his staff are the greatest. When he tells you he will do something, it gets done....
