Royston DUI Defense

In one single night, your whole life can be altered. Just yesterday, your biggest problem was that you forgot to bring lunch to work. Today, you have been embarrassed by the police and taken to jail for DUI in Royston. All of a sudden, there are ten million things to think about, such as posting bail, getting your car out of impoundment, keeping your driver's license, and finding a Royston Georgia DUI Lawyer to build a defense for you, so you are not convicted. At the Law Office of Richard Lawson, we understand that the Georgia DUI process can be complicated and scary. Most people, on the average, have no reason to know all there is to know about Georgia DUI law. Therefore, it is only natural that you would have a lot of questions. Now, let us take you through what to expect after a Royston DUI arrest. Right now, you are more than likely overwhelmed and upset. That is where our Royston DUI Attorneys come in. If you just do not know where to start, begin with this site. Use it to get answers to each of your burning questions. When you have other questions or concerns, contact us for a free consultation.

After you are arrested, you will likely be taken to the police station and will be asked to submit to the State's chemical test of your breath, blood, or urine. Depending on the situation, you might even have to stay in jail overnight and post bond to be released from jail. For example, if you said something threatening toward law enforcement during your arrest, caused an accident leading to serious injuries or damage to property, or if you are charged with multiple crimes, you might have to post bond so you can be released from police custody.

Upon leaving the police station/jail, you might find that your car has been towed and impounded. If this is the case, you will need to make arrangements to get your car as soon as possible; as impound fees are no joke.

In order to begin crafting your DUI defense, you need to jot down everything you remember about the night you were arrested, such as:

• What you had to eat and when
• What you had to drink and when, and how much
• Factors that could have had an effect on your driving, such as rain, snow, or icy roads, etc.
• Personal factors that could have had an impact on your driving, such as not wearing your prescribed glasses or contacts, driving distractions such as answering a call, talking to passengers (even arguing), fiddling with the radio, etc.
• Where your field sobriety tests were performed (if any), and how they were performed. Include any instructions law enforcement gave you in how to perform the tests.

Each of these factors can have a significant impact on your Royston GA DUI case. Potentially, a good defense can be built around them.
