You have probably seen plenty of celebrities in recent times get arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) and thought “that could never happen to me.” If you have suddenly ended up in this position, you may be feeling stressed and scared.
DUI is a very serious crime in Georgia. Even for a first time offense you may face time in jail, hefty fines, community service and a driver’s license suspension. There are other consequences that will put a dent in your wallet – you will be responsible for the cost associated with counseling, drug and alcohol evaluation, and probation. These fees can reach up to $20,000 in some jurisdictions. If the judge orders you to have an ignition interlock device installed in your car, you will also be responsible for the installation and monthly monitoring fees.
Those are just the legal ramifications of a DUI conviction. You will also face higher insurance rates, if your insurance company doesn’t drop you altogether. Your job may also be at risk. With more and more employers requiring a clean criminal and/or driving record, you may lose the job you currently have or find difficulty in obtaining future employment.
You may be tempted to give up and just plead guilty, thinking that you have no chance of winning anyway. However, it you settle for pleading guilty, you will definitely face the above-mentioned penalties.
Because DUI is one of the most complicated fields of law, you shouldn’t try to fight the charges yourself. You also shouldn’t go to just any law firm. A DUI charge is difficult to defend, which is why you need to hire a firm that specialized on DUI defense.
