The DUI Process and Stages of a DUI Case in Georgia
Understanding the DUI process is the first step in being able to defend yourself and protect your rights. We consider educating our clients as to the DUI process to be an important component in providing an exceptional defense.
When someone has been arrested for DUI, the police officer will confiscate that person's driver's license. The arresting officer will provide that person with a 1205 form which will advise that person of his or her rights.
It is critical to the defense of your driver's license that you request an administrative hearing with the Department of Driver's Services within 10 days of your arrest. That request is your one opportunity to attempt to preserve your full driving privileges while your criminal case is being resolved. For clients who secure our services within that time window, we will handle this aspect of their case for them.
At the law office of Floyd Buford, Attorney at Law, our Georgia DUI defense attorney brings the experience of having defended over 750 DUI cases to the benefit of our clients. We have been helping individuals throughout Georgia overcome their legal obstacles for more than 25 years. We understand Georgia DUI laws and how to secure the best possible resolution for our clients.
In addition to the administrative proceedings with the Department of Drivers Services, you will have your criminal charges heard in a superior court. The actual criminal court case can take anywhere from three months to a year to resolve depending on the court in which your case is scheduled to appear.
Ensuring that both components of your case are successfully resolved requires skilled and experienced representation.
