Driving a vehicle while intoxicated carries severe punishments in the state of Georgia and may include fines, jail, loss of license, community service, and/or court-ordered counseling. The punishments: punitive damages, criminal charges and/or civil claims, increase when injury or death occurs in an alcohol-related accident. Additional charges can range from vehicle speeding, homicide/feticide, or property injury.

He knows the investigative techniques needed when inspecting police and insurance company reports. Adept at getting to the truth during witness interviews, Mr. Teiger also looks for flaws in the prosecutor's investigation.
Cumming Criminal Defense Lawyer for DUIs
Were existing road/weather conditions factored in? Was the arrest made in the correct jurisdiction? Did the other driver's carelessness factor into this accident? Was "Implied Consent" notice read to you, if you refused blood, breath or urine tests?
Did the officer have justifiable cause to conduct a field sobriety test and was equipment calibrated correctly? We'll look closely at force of blow, which can alter results. Breath tests (and some refusals) are often excluded prior to trial, given the correct arguments to prevail in court. If not, cross-examination of the officer frequently reveals inadequate training. Are periodic maintenance checks with spirometer or other gauge conducted?
The answers to these questions and others will guide our course of action when defending your driving under the influence charges.
Our Alpharetta criminal defense practice also covers other areas related to alcohol such as underage drinking or using a fake ID card.
