The field of DUI defense changes daily. New judges are appointed, new prosecutors replace departing ones, and new court rulings in other pending cases influence the judge in your case. These are both Georgia DUI cases and other cases around the country.

No detail is minor.
There are hundreds of ways to attack the State’s evidence and procedures. The police are committed to following strict legal procedures, from reading you your Georgia implied consent notice without unnecessary delay, to allowing you to obtain an independent blood test at your expense.
