A DUI is a felony or misdemeanor criminal offense, not just a traffic ticket.
If you are convicted of a DUI, there are mandatory penalties.- Your driver's license is automatically suspended upon conviction.
- Your auto insurance rates may skyrocket, and a conviction may be added to your credit report.
- If you hold a professional license, a conviction may be reported to your licensing or professional agency.
- If you are in college, you could lose your scholarship or be expelled, even without a conviction.
In short, you have a lot to lose. So it makes good sense to hire an attorney to defend you against these charges. An experienced DUI defense attorney can review the facts of your case to find legal defenses to your charges.

1. | How do I Get my Georgia Driver's License back? |
| The Georgia Department of Driver Services is the agency that regulates licenses. Probation, judges and clerks of court have no power to give you a license, or to tell you the status of your license. You can contact DDS on the internet at www.dds.ga.gov or by telephone 678-413-8400, 8500 or 8600. Information on file with DDS is confidential; your attorney can only speak with a DDS official with your written permission. Your attorney has the form and contact information to place this on file under your driver's license. If your license has been suspended or revoked due to a serious traffic violation, DDS will suspend your license for a time period depending upon the number of serious violations you have accumulated in the past 10 years, or the number of "points" on your driving history. These time periods are regulated by statute. If you think you qualify for reinstatement of your license, and DDS disagrees, it is best to hire an attorney to help you get your license back. |
