Cobb County Drunk Driving Defense Attorney
If you have been arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) in Georgia, you need to defend your rights, your driving privileges and your liberty as soon as possible. Following your arrest, the arresting officer will forward what is known as a DDS form 1205 to the Department of Driver Services (DDS). This form will be filed if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is .08 or greater, if you refuse to submit to the tests requested by the officer, which can include a Breathalyzer, blood or urine test, or for other reasons. A letter needs to be sent to the DDS within 10 business days of your receipt of form 1205 to prevent the suspension of your driver's license.
At The Young Firm, our Marietta DUI/DWI attorney is a former Cobb County prosecutor with almost three decades of legal experience. We can help you face your charge and deal with the criminal and civil aspects of your case.
