Atlanta DUI Help

There is a tough new DUI law in Georgia.  The state of Georgia and Georgia law enforcement are serious about cracking down on incidences of drunk driving.  The Operation Zero Tolerance (OZT) statewide enforcement initiative is an attempt to lower the number of deadly traffic crashes and traffic accidents.  The OZT enforcement approach means that Georgia law enforcement agencies conduct ongoing joint waves of high-visibility sobriety checkpoints throughout the state staged around holiday driving times.  The law is as serious as they promise “if you’re over the limit–you’re under arrest.

Georgia’s DUI law has some specific easily understandable rules.  If you exceed the Blood Alcohol level of .08 percent and you have a regular drivers license, or if you exceed the .04 percent limit and have a commercial license, or if you exceed the .02 percent limit and you are under 21 years of age - you are under arrest.  Here simplicity ends. 

There are a range of penalties for the infractions all conditioned on whether this is a first, third or more frequent offense.  What constitutes impaired may be the abuse of one or more substances which must be tested for.  The law allows for mandatory testing (you cannot refuse to be tested) under implied consent.  So once you have been arrested you should have a law firm experienced with drunk driving litigation.

Miller & Brown are familiar with every nuance of drunk driving litigation in Georgia and stand ready to take your DUI matters to court should it be necessary.  The Miller & Brown approach is to aggressively protect our client's rights.  We will file all appropriate motions such as:

• Discovery Motion - forcing the prosecution to turn over all evidence the police gathered.
• Motions to Suppress - can keep evidence out if it was improperly obtained.
• Motions in Limine - can limit the testimony that can come in when that testimony is tainted.

Importantly, an improper stop by the arresting officer can throw out the entire arrest.

Fighting a DUI is not easy, but with the proper steps, your chances improve drastically with counsel local to the area familiar with the courts and people of Atlanta.   Prosecutors are more prone to work with an attorney to negotiate a plea arrangement if they feel that the defense attorneys are ready to go to court. 

The mission statement at Miller & Brown is to prepare every DUI case as though we will be trying it in court.  We believe that this is the difference between us and less experienced law firms.  We better serve our client's interests whether the goal is to win at trial or to get a better plea.
