A DUI, or Driving Under the Influence charge, can be a stressful experience. With potential consequences ranging from fines to jail time, it is important to have an experienced attorney by your side when facing a DUI charge. At The Lopes Law Firm, we are here to help. Whether you need help with the legal process or just have questions, we’re here to provide assistance and support throughout the entire process. Let's explore some of the aspects of dealing with a DUI charge in Georgia. 

The Consequences Of A DUI Charge In Georgia

In Georgia, the penalties for driving under the influence (DUI) vary depending on the individual’s history and their Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) at the time of arrest. If this is your first offense with a BAC lower than 0.08%, you will likely face a minimum fine of $300 and up to 12 months in jail. If your BAC is 0.08% or higher, you may be required to install an ignition interlock device on your vehicle as well as face other severe penalties such as driver’s license suspension and/or community service requirements. For those who have been arrested for a second or third offense within five years of their prior convictions, they will face significantly harsher punishments including increased fines, more jail time, and longer license suspensions.
