DUI Defense Attorneys

Building a Defense for DUI Charges in Atlanta

John B. Miller established a unique way  for the firm to serve his clients.   Mr. Miller sees the legal field as a true profession with honor, integrity, and dedication to service.  An attorney is a true advocate for the client, offering dedicated and aggressive representation for clients.  

Because of this Miller & Brown attorneys prepare every DUI as though it is going to trial.  This begins with preparing motions in order to protect your rights before, during and after trial.  We provide the best service in our client's interests whether the goal is to win at trial or to get the best plea agreement possible.  Given the increased strictness of the new DUI law this approach is more appropriate than ever before.

Legal preparation for a DUI case has many strategies that an attorney can pursue.  Your drunk driving attorney can file a motion for discovery, which will force the prosecution to provide your defense with all evidence that the police gathered.  Motions to suppress can be a key strategy to eliminate evidence if it was improperly obtained.   Additional motions such as motions in limine can limit testimony that is tainted, such as an improper stop by the arresting officer, which can lead to throwing out the entire arrest.  If you have knowledgeable counsel experienced in DUI litigation it can improve your chances for dismissal, more favorable plea agreements, or even more favorable sentencing.

Sometimes the situation is such that obtaining a good plea agreement is the best possibility.  Leniency provisions such as getting a temporary permit for work and/or school, minimizing jail time, and other penalties, as well as having an experienced advocate in negotiated matters, are best served if the attorney prepares the case for trial.  The prosecutor will be more amenable to working with an attorney towards a negotiated plea if the prosecutor knows that the attorney is not hesitant to take the case to trial.

With drunk driving charges, the license of the individual is often suspended.  After an arrest for DUI, you have only ten days to save your license.  Without an administrative ten day letter, your license will be suspended by DDS even if you win your DUI case.  For that reason you need DUI attorneys completely familiar with drunk driving defenses in Georgia.  DWI charges are not an area of criminal defense law that lend themselves to self-representation.  You should obtain litigation help immediately.
