DUI: Driving Under the Influence
The offense of Driving Under the Influence, sometimes called Driving While
Intoxicated or DWI in other states, is a serious charge that carries serious
penalties. Our firm has exceptional experience litigating these matters and also
has the benefit of having trained officers from all across Georgia on the subject at
the Georgia Public Safety Training Center. We draw upon the knowledge we have
accumulated in litigating hundreds of these cases for the benefit of our clients.
DUI is a highly technical charge with very serious penalties. It is important that
your attorney knows and understands the specific requirements that officers and
the state must adhere to in order to convict a person of DUI. Only with that
knowledge can anyone accurately assess the defense of your case. We have the
knowledge and experience in these subjects necessary to give our clients an
accurate and frank evaluation of their case.
The charge off DUI carries with it serious implications for your driving privileges,
and action in your defense must usually be taken within 10 days of arrest in
order to preserve your license! It is important that you contact us immediately
after arrest to ensure the proper measures are taken to save your license while
your case awaits trial.
For those who have been convicted of DUI in the distant past, recent changes to
Georgia law have made it more likely that you will be subject to substantially
increased penalties. Prior law had mandated higher penalties for drivers with
previous convictions in the five years prior to arrest. This look-back period has
been changed to ten (10) years, and the legislature has made a fourth offense
within this period a felony.
The attorneys of Kimbrell & Burgar, LLC, defend those accused of driving under
the influence of alcohol or drugs throughout the courts of northern Georgia,
including, but not limited to, DUI charges in the City of Atlanta, Fulton County, and
Cobb County.
