Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if the arresting officer did not read me my rights?
If the arresting officer did not read you your Miranda rights and you were in custody, any statements that you provided in response to questioning by the officer may be excluded from evidence in the trial of your case. A failure of the officer may result in charges being reduced or dismissed, but the does not require that.
Is someone that you care about in jail and in need of a bond?
There is nothing that creates more leverage for the State and hurts the defense of charges more than pre-trial incarceration. Getting a bond in a criminal case is vital.
Why is the Mouth Alcohol Defense so important in Georgia DUI cases?
In my mind, the mouth alcohol defense – in whatever form the DUI defense lawyer puts it forward – remains the most reliable defense that we have to a per se DUI charge in Georgia. If the state has made it beyond motions (they have shown that the stop was valid, the arrest was supported by probable cause, implied consent was properly read, consent to testing was voluntarily obtained, and a proper foundation was shown for the test), my 1st course of action is generally to determine (1) if there are any specific issue relative to my client that might make a breath test unreliable and (2) whether the state can show adherence to the observation period requirement in order to eliminate mouth-alcohol contamination of the breath test.
Do I need a 30-Day DUI Appeal Letter? Isn’t there a 10-day letter too?
You need to know that the 10-DAY LETTER in a Georgia DUI case NO LONGER EXISTS.
THERE IS NOW A 30-DAY LETTER IN GEORGIA DUI CASES.
Sadly, contrary to what many people believe, this letter is not some ‘magical’ tool.
It's all about you
When you are comparing attorneys, you’ll be comparing their experience, skills, won-loss record, and other factors.
