Free ConsultationIf you were arrested for DUI in Gwinnett County, act immediately. Georgia license deadlines may apply separately from the criminal case, and early investigation can preserve evidence that may affect your defense.
Write down what happened, avoid discussing the case publicly, preserve any video or receipts, and speak with a DUI defense attorney promptly. A DUI can create both a criminal case and a driver’s-license issue.
A person may be accused of DUI based on an alleged alcohol concentration of .08 or more, impairment by alcohol or drugs, or a “less safe” theory. Refusal or testing issues may also trigger administrative consequences. The right response depends on the facts, prior history, license type, and notice received.
The defense begins with the reason for the stop. Matt then reviews officer observations, body and dash camera footage, field sobriety protocols, breath or blood testing, implied-consent warnings, chain of custody, and whether constitutional protections were honored.

Answers first
Sometimes. Outcomes depend on the evidence, legality of the stop, testing, procedure, criminal history, and negotiations. No attorney can promise a result before reviewing the case.
A DUI arrest can create separate administrative and criminal license consequences. Deadlines may be short, so get advice based on your paperwork promptly.
A first charge can still carry jail exposure, fines, probation, license consequences, and long-term effects. Legal guidance helps you understand defenses and options.
