Smyrna DUI Attorneys
Being arrested for DUI (driving under the influence) in Smyrna, GA, is extremely serious.
Some of the consequences that come as a result of a drunk driving conviction include:
Fines ranging from $300 to $1,000
Community service
License suspension
Jail time ranging from 24 hours to 12 months
Probation.
These are just the punishments for a first-time DUI offense. For each conviction after this, the jail time, fines, and license suspension get even harsher. You will also have your photo, name, and address published in the local paper. You even have to pay to have this published.
After seeing these penalties, you probably realize how important it is to have an experienced DUI attorney in your corner. If you have been arrested in Smyrna, you can contact us to provide top-notch defense. Our lawyers at the Law Offices of Webb, Willis, and Kohn focus solely on DUI cases. How does this affect you? Unlike other lawyers who practice a wide variety of law, we know what defenses will help you during the preliminary hearing and the trial.
There are several defenses that help when you go to trial.
If you were stopped illegally, your case may be dropped
. Probable cause must be present for an officer to pull you over. Improper chemical testing will also help your case.
Our defense attorneys can even argue about your blood alcohol content (BAC) level. You can only be found guilty if your BAC level is over the legal limit while you are driving. If you take a chemical test after this time, your BAC level will be higher because the alcohol takes awhile to work through your blood stream.
You may be wondering what the legal BAC level is in Georgia. If you are found to be driving with a BAC over .08, you will be arrested for driving over under the influence. Even if your BAC is under this limit, you can be arrested if it is shown that the alcohol impacted your ability to drive safely.
If you are under the age of 21
, you will be arrested for having a BAC over 0.00. This is due to Zero Tolerance laws. Your license will be automatically suspended after your arrest.
As you can see, the Law Offices of Webb, Willis, and Kohn will defend your rights.
