DUI Law In Georgia
Georgia law enforcement aggressively pursues DUI arrests. Even if your blood alcohol level is not over the legal limit of .08, a police officer may still arrest you if he or she decides you are “under the influence” of drugs or alcohol.
A clean record will likely reduce the potential penalties for a DUI. Still, after a first conviction the court can sentence you to up to one year in jail, fine you up to $1,000 and take away your driver’s license for a year. You could also be required to take a DUI education course. Depending on the circumstances of your arrest, there could be certain factors that increase the penalties you will face.

With me as your lawyer, you can count on reaching the best possible result to your case and minimizing the risk of a jail sentence.
