Sentencing in DUI Cases

A Georgia DUI sentence depends on the conviction, the person’s record and other legally relevant circumstances. It is misleading to assume that a first offense normally ends with only a fine. Georgia DUI consequences can include incarceration, probation, community service, required programs, fines and driver’s-license consequences.

Criminal sentencing and license restrictions should be reviewed separately. Requirements associated with a plea, conviction, reinstatement or a limited permit may differ. Do not assume that an outcome described online applies to your charge or driving history.

Before entering a plea, review the evidence, the available defenses and the full consequences with counsel. Attorney Ned Ogueri can explain the issues presented by your case and help you evaluate available options. No reduction, dismissal or particular sentence is guaranteed.
