How Losing a DUI Has Hidden Penalties

DUI law is complicated, and your choice of defense attorneys should not be taken lightly. There can be many penalties for DUI conviction that are not easily understood because they are hidden beneath ‘layers' of laws. You may find yourself facing consequences of DUI conviction years down the road, making your life uncomfortable at best. Take the time to understand your options and know the consequences of your choices. Work with someone who will spend the time advising you on the impact of your plea. The Lee Webb Law Office provides your case with an experienced Georgia DUI defense attorney who knows the law thoroughly and can protect your rights.

These are just a few examples of the complex nature of DUI law that can make your DUI conviction a never-ending nightmare:

•  Did you know that if you hold a Commercial Driver's License (CDL), within ten days of your arrest for DUI you must request a hearing from the Department of Motor Vehicles? Your CDL was suspended at the instant of your arrest. This hearing is necessary for you to make your appeal to not lose your driver's license. A professional DUI attorney knows the intricacies of the law.

•  Conviction of DUI appears on employment background checks. Even if you are not being hired as a driver for a company, you can bet you won't be their first choice for an employee after they see your record. DUI is a crime that can make people judge you harshly. A good attorney makes every attempt to have your record expunged. This is critical to your future employment options.

•  If you had a child under the age of 14 in the car and you are arrested and convicted of DUI, you can be charged awith child endangerment in addition to DUI.

•  Did you know that DUI laws, which vary from state to state, can also vary by county? Get a lawyer who is knowledgable in DUI law for every county in Georgia: hire ‘The Gladiator,' Lee Webb, to represent your case.

•  Some insurance companies include fine print in your contract that says that you can be refused insurance if you are arrested for DUI – even if you are not convicted of the crime.

•  Your personal insurance contract may say that if you have an accident and you have been drinking alcohol, but are under the legal limit, your insurance company still has the option to not cover the costs of your claim or the claims of others.

•  Field sobriety tests are completely voluntary, but no police officer will advise you of that. Refuse to take the tests and call The Lee Webb Law Office for legal representation.

•  In these days of inexpensive technology, most police officers are videotaping every traffic stop. Say as little as possible: everything you say will be used against you in a court of law.

•  If you caused property damage during the course of your arrest for DUI, you may face a hearing in civil court for damages as well as criminal prosecution. The best offense is a great defense.

•  Restricting your driving privileges between states is just one of the possible consequences of DUI conviction. You could also be unable to enter certain countries, including Canada.
