Questions
Why do I need a criminal defense lawyer for a misdemeanor charge?
Misdemeanor convictions can impact employment, housing, and education opportunities. Our attorneys fight to have charges dismissed or reduced.
What is Georgia's legal BAC limit for underage drivers?
Georgia enforces a 0.02% BAC limit for underage drivers, with penalties including license suspension and fines.
When can DUI charges become aggravated in Georgia?
High BAC (0.15%+), prior convictions, or injury/death involvement can elevate DUI charges to aggravated status.
Can DUI accidents result in felony charges?
Yes, accidents causing serious injury or death typically result in felony charges even for first-time offenders.
What happens if I refuse a DUI breath test in Georgia?
Refusal triggers a one-year license suspension with no hardship permit option for 120 days.
Can I file a personal injury claim if partially at fault?
Georgia allows claims with less than 50% fault, though compensation decreases proportionally with your fault percentage.
