DUI Charges We Handle in Union City

We represent drivers arrested under all types of DUI scenarios, including:

DUI Alcohol (First, Second, or Third Offense)

Even a first offense can result in:

  • Jail time (up to 12 months)
  • License suspension
  • $1,000+ in fines and surcharges
  • Mandatory DUI school
  • Community service
  • A permanent criminal record

We fight for dismissals, reductions to reckless driving, or conditional pleas to protect your future.

Refusal to Submit to Testing

Georgia’s implied consent law requires a timely response if you refused a breathalyzer or blood test. You only have 30 days to save your license. We act fast to preserve your driving rights.

DUI Drugs (Prescription or Illegal Substances)

Union City police and Georgia State Patrol aggressively pursue DUI charges involving:

  • Prescription medications
  • Marijuana (even legal in other states)
  • Cocaine or other substances

We challenge drug test results, field sobriety procedures, and improper arrests.

Underage DUI

Drivers under 21 face zero-tolerance laws. A BAC of just 0.02% can result in license suspension and other long-term consequences. We defend teens, students, and young adults facing these charges.

Felony DUI / DUI with Injury

If someone was hurt, or you’ve had multiple DUI convictions, you may be charged with a felony. We build aggressive defenses to challenge liability and avoid mandatory minimum sentences.

Union City DUI Arrest Process: What to Expect

If you’re arrested in Union City, your case may start in:

  • Union City Municipal Court – located on Watson Street, for arraignment or early case hearings.
  • Fulton County State Court – for serious or contested cases.

You’ll face tight deadlines to:

  • Challenge license suspension
  • Enter a plea
  • Prepare for trial or negotiate

At Hines Law, we handle the entire process for you and appear on your behalf when possible. You’re never alone in this.

DUI Penalties in Georgia

Georgia has some of the toughest DUI laws in the country. A conviction could result in:

  • Jail (24 hours to 5 years depending on offense level)
  • Fines from $300 to $5,000+
  • 12-month license suspension or revocation
  • DUI Risk Reduction Program (school)
  • Ignition interlock installation
  • Higher insurance premiums
  • Immigration consequences (if not a U.S. citizen)

These penalties can be life-altering—but with strong legal defense, many cases are reduced or dismissed entirely.

Union City is home to a diverse and growing Latino population—and at Hines Law, we are proud to be one of the few DUI defense firms with a fully bilingual team serving our Southside clients.
