Dalton, GA DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

First and Foremost: YOU NEED A LAWYER. Second, there are alternatives to revocation which are sometimes available. If making a payment is truly and DEMONSTRABLY impossible, you should not be penalized for it. It seems a bit surprising that you are going to court at this time. Have you had the probable cause hearing, and then the revocation hearing, all before the administrative law judge? That should happen before you see a regular Judge. Explain your situation, calmly and without any needless display of emotion. Bring proof that you could not afford the classes. Ask the court for more time to do so.

If this case is in California and this is his seventh within the past ten years he is looking at a very serious case, a felony. He can be prosecuted for DUI even if he was taking only his prescribed medications and at the dosages prescribed. He will need legal representation and the help of a forensic toxicologist and possibly a pharmacologist to avoid prison.

Without knowing his driver record it is hard to say for sure. I am assuming that he picked up a revocation of his license after his most recent conviction. His first step toward regaining his license will be to appeal to the Driver Assessment and Appeal Division. If he wins at that hearing and is given restricted privileges, he will have to drive with an interlock for at least a year. At this stage, the interlock provisions of the new super drunk statute are probably not relevant to his case. The chances of him winning his license back on appeal without an attorney are nil. Write back if you have a copy of his driver record.
