Douglas County Multiple DUI Lawyers

Are You Facing Multiple DUI Charges in West Georgia?

Any individual who knowingly gets behind the wheel after they have been drinking is putting themselves and others at risk. In the state of Georgia, law enforcement officials and prosecuting attorneys work hard to see that those accused of driving under the influence are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

A first time DUI offender will be facing fines, mandatory jail time and court-ordered community service. In many instances, courts will also order probation and require that the individual submit to a drug and alcohol evaluation to determine whether or not they have a problem that would make them more liable to commit future DUIs.

Potential Consequences of Multiple DUI

In the eyes of the law, anyone who commits multiple DUIs has a complete disregard not only for the law but for the safety of the innocent people in the vehicles and on the road around them. Anyone who is arrested or charged with DUI, and it is shown that they have had prior DUI convictions within the last 10 years, will be subject to enhanced penalties under Georgia law. A second DUI offense is considered to be a misdemeanor and a third (or greater) DUI offense is classified as a felony.

Individuals convicted of multiple DUIs will be facing heavy fines, mandatory jail or prison sentences, extensive community service, the required installation and use of an ignition interlock device on the vehicle they intend to drive, a suspension of their driver's license and more. Should an individual's driving under the influence have resulted in an accident causing serious injuries or a fatality, additional charges of intoxication assault or intoxication manslaughter will be levied.
