Roswell DUI Lawyer

Roswell Municipal Court

If you were recently arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) in Roswell, your driver’s license was most likely immediately suspended. Although you may be able to request an administrative hearing to contest this suspension, you have only ten days to do so—otherwise your driving privileges will remain revoked until your case is tried. Fortunately, an experienced Roswell DUI lawyer can help you fight this suspension, as well as the numerous other penalties you may be facing.

The civil penalties for a DUI conviction are limited to fines and a license suspension. However, depending on the circumstances of your arrest, the exact terms of your punishment can vary greatly. For example, the average DUI fines range anywhere from $300 to $1,000, and the length of your license suspension could fall somewhere between 30 days and a year.

If you are found guilty in criminal court, you may also be required to complete alcohol counseling or community service, given probation, or face a one-year jail sentence—and that’s for a first-time offender. If you have one or more prior DUI convictions on your record, were involved in a serious accident, or were transporting a minor at the time of your arrest, the penalties are even harsher.

While such penalties may seem like adequate punishment, the ramifications of a DUI conviction do not end once your sentence is over. You can expect to pay two to three times more for car insurance if you are found guilty of drunk driving and, in some cases, your insurer may deny you coverage entirely. In addition, your conviction will remain on your criminal record for years to come, where it will be seen by anyone who checks your background—including potential employers, housing providers, and universities.

With all the penalties associated with a DUI conviction, there’s no room for error. You must fight the charges against you to avoid such devastating consequences.
