DUI Lawyer In Georgia

Reader’s Question:

I need a lawyer for my DWI conviction but what if I can’t afford a lawyer? What do I do? I live in Atlanta Georgia.

Thank you for asking Gene.

If you are arrested for DWI in Atlanta GA, you may need the assistance of a criminal defense lawyer with experience handling DUI cases. Unlike civil law cases in which money or property may be at stake, people charged with DUI may face penalties like jail time and driver’s license suspension if arrested or convicted. An experienced lawyer who is familiar with the intricacies of DUI cases will review all the evidence to ensure that your rights are protected, including careful scrutiny of the procedure and results of any field sobriety and chemical tests administered in your case.

At most steps in the criminal justice process, the state of Georgia guarantees the assistance of an attorney to almost all people who have been charged with a crime. This means that, even if you cannot afford to get a DWI lawyer for yourself, the government will provide you with a lawyer free of charge. Usually these lawyers are employed by the government as “public defenders”, and they are responsible for zealously protecting a criminal defendant’s rights at all stages of the criminal process — from arrest to appeal.

Goodluck!
