Kennesaw DUI Attorneys

If you live in Kennesaw, you know how important it is to have a driver’s license. From going to work, to running to the store, the ability to drive is imperative. So if you went out one night and had a little too much to drink, your license is in jeopardy.

Driving under the influence (DUI) laws in Georgia are tough. There are two things to deal with if you have been arrested for drunk driving: administrative penalties and criminal punishments.

The administrative penalties begin shortly after you are arrested for DUI. Whether you have a blood alcohol content (BAC) level over .08, or you refused to take a chemical test, you have ten days to request an administrative hearing to keep your license. Even if you are not convicted of driving under the influence, your license can be suspended. If you do not request this hearing within the time frame, you will lose your license on the 31st day following your arrest.

Next you will have to have to deal with the criminal court matters. You will need to go to court for an arraignment. During this time you will plead “guilty”, “not guilty” or “no contest.” If you plead “not guilty” you will need to attend the preliminary hearing. This is where the judge will listen to both the prosecution and defense to decide if there is sufficient evident to move forward to trial.

After you move to trial, one of our attorneys will try to prove that the evidence presented by the prosecution is insufficient. This will lead to the evidence being thrown out of court.

You may be curious to know what happens if you are found guilty. The penalties may include: jail time, license suspension, community service, and probation.
