The new Georgia’s DUI statute makes first time offenders undergo drug and alcohol evaluation as a requirement.  If the findings of the evaluation indicate its necessity, the offender must participate in a strict, court-supervised substance-abuse treatment to decrease the likelihood of recurring offenses. 

This approach to drug and alcohol evaluations under the previous law was only required for second and subsequent offenses.  Another proviso of the new statute is that when DUI offenders have been convicted a fourth time, public safety priorities kick-in requiring mandatory felony charges and jail time.

The goal of this legislation is to make any responsible driver think twice before driving impaired.  However in DUI litigation it is best to obtain local Atlanta lawyers with expertise in assisting their clients in a drunk driving defense.  These are not cases where you should represent yourself as the potential implications to your life and livelihood could be profound in terms of:

• lost time
• ability to operate your vehicle
• repercussions transportation issues may have to your schooling or employment
• loss of your vehicle (vehicles can be confiscated under certain circumstances)
• possibly loss of your freedom

Remember the rules on DUI/DWI have much room for interpretation.  What was your BAC level?  How accurate were the testing methods?  Were there any mitigating factors?   Experienced DUI defense lawyers can assist you in ensuring the best outcome in a DUI arrest.
