This website is dedicated to providing useful information to persons charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs in the State of Georgia.  Sponsored by Robert F. Webb*, attorney at law, the site draws upon Mr. Webb’s 30 years of experience handling DUIs in Cobb County, Georgia as a prosecutor and as a defense attorney.

The site is set up for you to easily access important information you need to know to be able to navigate through the system with at least some understanding of what you are facing and how to best to protect your license and your liberty.  In most cases the arresting officer can submit a form to the Georgia Department of Driver Services that will cause your license to be suspended you must act promptly to prevent that from happening.  Click on the license suspension link to learn what you need to do to protect your license.

Next you will want to look at the potential penalties you are facing under the Statutory Minimum and Maximum Sentences link.  It is there you will find commentary on the range of sentences courts typically hand out under various fact scenarios.

You are innocent until proven guilty.  The burden is on the State to prove you were driving under the influence.  Police officers sometimes make mistakes and can certainly be overly zealous in charging someone with DUI.  Fortunately, you have the right to be represented by an attorney who has decades more experience than most patrol officers and I can help you evaluate whether or not the charges will stick.  Click on the Potential Defenses link for a discussion of some of the grounds that can be used to prevent a DUI conviction.

I am often asked by friends and clients whether or not they should take the State Administered alcohol test if they are ever stopped.  Click on To Blow or Not to Blow link for my answer to the question.

Links are provided for driving schools, alcohol evaluators, treatment centers and community service organizations.  These are useful should you enter a guilty plea to DUI or are otherwise convicted.
