How We Can Contest DUI Charges
A DUI charge does not automatically mean you must plead guilty. We carefully review every aspect of your case to identify potential defenses and procedural opportunities.
Challenging Traffic Stops
The first step is examining the legality of the traffic stop. In Georgia, officers need only reasonable suspicion to initiate a stop, with probable cause required later for an arrest. If the stop was improper, we evaluate whether any evidence obtained afterward could be challenged or excluded.
Questioning Field Tests and State-Administered Chemical Tests
Breathalyzer and field sobriety tests can be imprecise. We assess whether handheld alcosensors were used correctly and whether state-administered chemical tests at the station, like the Intoxilyzer 9000, were conducted according to protocol. Any irregularities or procedural errors can affect how results are interpreted in court.
Examining Police Reports and Evidence
We review police reports, dashcam footage, and witness statements for inconsistencies, missing details, or potential rights violations. Every fact is analyzed to determine whether the case against you is fully supported by reliable evidence.
Exploring Alternative Outcomes
Every DUI case is unique. We examine options beyond pleading guilty, such as negotiating for reduced charges, alternative sentencing, or pretrial agreements. Additionally, under Georgia law, a driver has only 30 days after arrest to request an administrative hearing or opt for an ignition interlock permit to avoid an automatic license suspension. Acting quickly can preserve driving privileges while the legal case proceeds.
