Consequences of a DUI Conviction

Georgia enforces strict penalties for DUI offenses. Even a first-time conviction carries serious repercussions, and multiple offenses can escalate these penalties:

• Fines: A first DUI offense can cost up to $1,000, while repeat offenses may reach $5,000.
• License Suspension: Your driving privileges can be revoked for months—or even years.
• Jail Time: A first offense can result in up to a year behind bars, with repeat offenders facing even longer sentences.
• Ignition Interlock Device: A second DUI offense can require you to install this costly device in your vehicle.
• Community Service: Courts often impose at least 40 hours of mandatory public service.

Beyond these penalties, a DUI conviction can have lasting consequences on employment opportunities, professional licenses, and housing applications. You need a defense strategy that protects your rights and your future. Don’t wait—contact us today to get started.
