DUI CHARGES IN FULTON COUNTY

Determining Intoxication

Georgia issues DUI charges to anyone found operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Officers may determine intoxication by several methods, including field sobriety tests, breathalyzers, or other blood or urine tests.

Breathalyzers are used to measure a driver’s blood alcohol content (BAC). Minors with a BAC of .02% or higher, adults with a BAC of .08% or higher, and commercial drivers with a BAC of .04% or higher may receive a DUI charge under Georgia law. It’s also important to know that Georgia is an “implied consent state,” meaning that you consent to a BAC test the moment you begin driving a vehicle on a Georgia roadway. Although you may refuse a breathalyzer when you are pulled over, you may face additional penalties and your license can still be suspended.

Law enforcement officers use a number of other tests and their discretion to determine whether you are driving under the influence of marijuana or other drugs. Their priority is to arrest anyone who is deemed incapable of properly and safely operating a motor vehicle.

Fulton County’s DUI Penalties

Georgia has extremely harsh DUI penalties. Specific penalties and long-term consequences may vary depending on the court’s discretion and the circumstances of the case, such as the number of prior offenses, your specific BAC level, whether a child was in the vehicle at the time of your arrest, and whether you were involved in an accident (and the severity of the accident).

Possible DUI penalties and long-term consequences include:

Driver’s license suspension
Prison time
Fines
Community service
Alcohol or drug education courses
Treatment programs
Permanent criminal record
High-risk insurance
Confiscation of your vehicle
Ignition interlock devices

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kim and her staff guided me through the most stressful period of my life. The word gratitude does not begin to express what having them in my corner meant. From my first phone conversation, I was assured that Kim and her team would go to bat for me and boy did they. They handled all interactions with the detective and advised me all along the way. I finally got the call from Kim that my case was closed. Up until this morning I could only pray for that call and bingo I got it. None of us know what is coming for us in this life but when we are hit hard, we need a solid fearless advocate. The Frye Law group is that advocate. Bless them I’m forever grateful for them I can breathe now!!!!!!!!!!
