It would be a big mistake if you would not contest the license suspension hearing on your DUI case in Roswell, Georgia so it’s a good thing that you find a way to win the first stage of your DUI case. You may have refused to take the chemical test or failed it that’s why you are facing this administrative hearing. You need to know that the license suspension hearing can still be won based on some technical defenses that your DUI lawyer can build.

There are several defenses that could be uses such as the sample was not taken within two hours, the results are under .12% and the retest is below .10%, you burped and the officer did not start the observation period over, you had something in your mouth, you were on an Adkins diet, you have diabetes, you have dentures, you work with solvents and an alcohol antiseptic was used when blood was drawn. If you don’t contest the license suspension hearing, they don’t get to question the police officer who arrested you and this may be the only time that the officer could be questioned soon after the arrest when his recollection of what happened is most accurate.
