Have you been charged with a DUI? Check out the answers to these 4 DUI questions we are often asked, then give our Georgia lawyers a call now.
1. Can I defend myself for a DUI case?
I was recently talking with a client who had some pretty significant financial problems, and he asked me if he could defend himself in a DUI case. I certainly would not recommend that. DUI law is very technical and, believe it or not, it changes sometimes every six months, depending on what the Supreme Court or the Court of Appeals is doing in that area of law. It would not be advisable to represent yourself in a DUI, and I would love to speak with you about this.
2. How much will it cost to hire a DUI lawyer?
We often get questions about how much it costs to hire a defense attorney in a DUI case. The cost can vary depending on the exact situation, but, in general, a DUI will cost anywhere between $2,500 and $3,000. Every case is different, so I would love to talk with you about your specific matter and give you specific information about what it will cost.

4. What will happen if I get pulled over for a DUI?
I was talking with a client the other day who called me about getting pulled over and getting charged with a DUI. In Georgia, when you are charged with a DUI and you’re pulled over by law enforcement, they will do field sobriety testing. They will ask to see your license. They will also make requests of you about whether or not you want independent testing of your blood, breath or urine.
The main issue that you need to be familiar with is the fact that you need to be compliant, that you do need to be respectful to the law enforcement officers – that will go a long way in resolving your case. I would always ask for independent testing, and I would make the request to have a blood test done as your choice of independent test.
