I’m sure you have heard that in the United States, you have a right to legal counsel, correct? Well, while this defense opportunity may not be true for every DUI case there is, for some of the more serious ones it definitely is, so if you have a felony or often a misdemeanor as well, you could have the right to the state providing you with a public attorney.

Public lawyers are at least experienced and may have a more in-depth look of things from both sides than do their peers who only work in the private sector. However, their motivation is just to get their work done and go home, not necessarily to be as aggressive as you want them to be. It would be wise to at least research some local DUI lawyers in Georgia to see if you can find one willing to take your case with a payment plan. And if you can’t afford to hire an attorney, make sure you are as helpful and communicative as you can be with your state-appointed attorney to get the best results as possible.
