Georgia DUI Penalties


If you're adamant to hire a DUI defense attorney – you may want to think again after you read the following information. In the state of Georgia, the following penalties apply:

DUI charges can average up to $20,000 for the convicted in some jurisdictions. You may have to pay for drug and alcohol evaluation, counseling, probation fees, also monitoring fees such as an ignition interlock device.

And if you can hardly afford insurance now, wait until you have a DUI conviction. Either your rates will sky rocket or they will cancel your policy all together. Your driver's license could be revoked and your vehicle could be impounded.

You could also face heavy fines such as court costs. And when you need the money the most, you can lose your employment over a DUI conviction. After you've lost your job and are looking for another, you can have trouble obtaining one. Many employers will simply not hire you if they find out you have had a DUI conviction – and some employers look as far back as 10 years! They can find this information out easily just by running a background check. Others look back as far as your state's driver's history will report a record.

There also other “hidden penalties” in the state of Georgia for a DUI conviction. If you enjoy traveling to foreign countries, including Canada, a DUI conviction can stop you dead in your tracks. Some countries can forbid you to enter because they believe that any conviction is an “offense”.

Last, but not least you could face probation and even jail.
