DUI Charges We Defend in Dunwoody

First-Time DUI Charges

A first DUI offense in Georgia can still carry harsh penalties:

  • Up to 12 months in jail
  • 12-month license suspension
  • DUI Risk Reduction Program (DUI school)
  • Thousands in fines and fees
  • A permanent criminal record

We fight to get first-time offenses dismissed or reduced to reckless driving, where possible.

DUI Refusal

Refused a breath, blood, or urine test? Georgia’s implied consent law means you could lose your license—even without a DUI conviction. But you have 30 days to request a hearing. We can help you act fast.

DUI-Drugs / Prescription Medication DUI

Many DUI arrests in Dunwoody involve:

  • Prescription medications (Xanax, Ambien, etc.)
  • Marijuana
  • Controlled substances

We challenge the science behind drug DUIs and work to suppress unreliable evidence.

Repeat Offenders or Felony DUI

If this is your second or third DUI—or if someone was injured—you may be facing felony charges. That means long-term prison time, loss of civil rights, and careerending consequences. Hines Law builds aggressive, courtroom-ready defenses to protect your record and liberty.

Underage DUI

Drivers under 21 with even a 0.02% BAC can be charged with DUI. We represent high school and college students with the goal of protecting their future, scholarships, and reputation.

What to Expect After a DUI Arrest in Dunwoody

Most DUI arrests in Dunwoody happen:

  • On Ashford Dunwoody Rd
  • Along Perimeter Center Pkwy
  • Near I-285 exits and Roswell Rd intersections

Your case may start in:

  • Dunwoody Municipal Court for arraignment and early proceedings
  • Then move to DeKalb County State Court for resolution or trial

We handle all stages of your case—negotiations, motions, license hearings, and if needed, trial. Our team is familiar with local prosecutors, court staff, and judges, giving you a strategic edge.

  • License suspension or ignition interlock
  • DUI classes, probation, and community service
  • Increased insurance premiums
  • Permanent criminal record
  • Immigration issues (for non-citizens)

But many DUI cases can be won or reduced with a skilled defense attorney. At Hines Law, we challenge:

  • Inaccurate breathalyzer or blood test results
  • Police procedure violations (improper stops, no probable cause)
  • Witness credibility and video inconsistencies

  • Immigration-aware DUI defense to protect your future

“Un cargo por DUI no significa que usted perderá su estatus migratorio o su libertad. Nosotros luchamos por usted.”
