- $300–$1,000 first offense, plus surcharges, DUI school, and supervision fees

Frequently asked questions
What is Georgia's 30-day letter?
After a DUI arrest you have 30 days to either request an administrative license suspension hearing or elect the ignition interlock permit. Doing neither means an automatic suspension — so getting an attorney's advice within days of arrest, not weeks, is critical.
Why is DUI handled by consultation instead of a flat fee?
A Georgia DUI is a criminal prosecution with layered evidence — the stop, field sobriety evaluations, Intoxilyzer results, implied-consent warnings. No responsible attorney can price or plan a defense before reviewing that record, which is what the initial consultation is for.
Can a Georgia DUI be reduced to reckless driving?
In the right cases, yes — weak stops, flawed field sobriety administration, or implied-consent errors give the defense leverage. Whether your case has that leverage is exactly what a case review determines.
Will I lose my license immediately after a Georgia DUI arrest?
Not necessarily — the administrative process has that 30-day window, and limited permits exist for qualifying first offenders. The sequencing matters, and it's where early legal guidance pays off most.
How do I get started with a Georgia DUI case?
Request a consultation as soon as possible after arrest. We connect you with a licensed Georgia DUI attorney who reviews your paperwork, the 30-day deadline, and your realistic options — no obligation.
