Comprehensive DUI Defense Strategies

We do not rely on generic defense strategies. Every DUI case in Fort Oglethorpe is unique, and we tailor our approach based on the specific evidence against you. Our areas of expertise include:

Challenging “DUI Less Safe” Charges: Even if your BAC was below 0.08% or you refused testing, you can still be charged with DUI Less Safe based on the officer’s observations. We aggressively cross-examine officers on their subjective conclusions regarding your driving and physical demeanor.
Exposing SFST Errors: We are deeply familiar with the 2023 NHTSA Instructor Guide for Standardized Field Sobriety Tests. We use dashcam and bodycam footage to prove when Fort Oglethorpe officers fail to properly administer or evaluate these tests.
Handling Complex Cases: Beyond standard first-time DUIs, we have the experience necessary to handle complex cases, including repeat offenses and cases involving prior DUI convictions that elevate the potential penalties.

The 30-Day ALS Deadline

If you were arrested for DUI in Fort Oglethorpe and either refused the state chemical test or registered a BAC over the legal limit, your driver’s license is at immediate risk. You have exactly 30 days to file an appeal to prevent an automatic administrative suspension. We handle these ALS hearings to keep you on the road while we fight your criminal charges.
