After a DUI: How to Deal with the Legal Repercussions

In his career as an Attorney-at-Law for his own private firm located in Canton, Georgia, Michael Vereen maintains a focus on bankruptcy and DUI cases. His education at the Emory University School of Law, which culminated in his receipt of a Master of Laws degree, enabled Michael Vereen to pursue a career in criminal, DUI, and bankruptcy law. Those who are charged with a DUI in several areas of Georgia should immediately contact Michael Vereen, a highly experienced attorney in the field, to describe the event and find out what options are available to them. Michael Vereen is available online (www.vereenlaw.com) or by telephone (770-345-9449).

First, after consulting with a seasoned DUI attorney, individuals should understand that their best bet to fight a potential jail sentence is to be honest and survey all possible pleas, as the prosecuting attorney’s office will be hard at work trying to sew together a case against the defendant. Some people who are charged with a DUI may think a guilty plea will end up in their favor; however, there are several issues that can actually win a case before the trial goes to court. Attorneys like Michael Vereen look at all available reports pertaining to the arrest. These lawyers’ knowledge of the criminal system can sometimes allow them to dispute specific points of the case before it ever reaches the courtroom. Also, if any information was collected in an illegal manner, an attorney will be able to get that data thrown out of court so the prosecuting lawyer can’t use it against the defendant.

While the first step in dealing with the legal repercussions of a DUI is consulting a trustworthy lawyer, individuals who refused the breathalyzer test, or those who took the test and were found to have a blood alcohol level over the legal limit (.08), should be aware of the possibility of losing their license because of a suspension that can be enacted up to 10 days after the arrest.
