DUI Charges We Defend in Sandy Springs

Georgia DUI laws are strict—and local enforcement in Sandy Springs is especially aggressive. We defend clients facing all types of DUI charges:

DUI Alcohol – First, Second, or Third Offense

Even a first-time DUI can result in:

  • Up to 12 months in jail
  • $1,000+ in fines and court fees
  • License suspension
  • Mandatory DUI School
  • A permanent criminal record

We fight to reduce charges, avoid jail time, and in some cases get the case dismissed entirely.

DUI Refusal (Breathalyzer Refusal)

Refusing a breath, blood, or urine test triggers automatic license suspension under Georgia’s implied consent law. But you have 30 days to act, and we can fight to keep your license.

Underage DUI (Under 21)

Georgia has a zero-tolerance policy for underage drinking and driving. We help college students and young drivers protect their future and avoid harsh penalties.

DUI Drugs (Prescription or Marijuana)

DUI isn’t just about alcohol. Many people are arrested for driving under the influence of:

  • Prescription medications (even if legally prescribed)
  • Marijuana (including medical use)
  • Other controlled substances

We challenge drug testing methods and fight vague accusations based on behavior alone.

Felony DUI

If this is your fourth DUI, or if you caused serious injury or death, you may be facing felony DUI charges. These require an experienced defense lawyer immediately.

What Happens After a DUI Arrest in Sandy Springs?

Most DUI arrests in Sandy Springs begin with:

  • A traffic stop on Roswell Rd, I-285, or GA-400
  • Field sobriety tests or a breath test
  • Arrest and transport to Sandy Springs Jail

From there, your case may go to:

  • Sandy Springs Municipal Court (for arraignment and early stages)
  • Fulton County State Court (for trial or serious charges)

We handle everything—from your initial court appearance to negotiating with prosecutors or fighting at trial. Our goal is to reduce or eliminate your charges entirely.
