Did you know that Georgia has some of the toughest driving under the influence (DUI) laws in the United States? Elbert County is no exception. If you were recently arrested and charged with DUI in the Elbert County area, you should contact Elbert County DUI attorney William C. (Bubba) Head immediately. An experienced DUI lawyer in Georgia can work to minimize the harm as much as possible and ensure those accused know what to expect at each step of the legal process.
The Severe Consequences of a DUI ConvictionAlthough most drivers know that DUI is a serious offense, most are unaware of just how serious it is under Georgia state law. As a criminal act, a drunk driving conviction carries a number of severe penalties, such as expensive fines, license suspension, and even imprisonment. What’s more, because a DUI will be permanently reflected on your criminal record, any employer, housing provider, or educational institution who performs a background check will see it—a fact that can seriously limit many opportunities in the future.
Fortunately, simply being arrested for drunk driving is not enough to warrant your conviction. With the right attorney by your side, you could be acquitted or the charges against you could be reduced—and, in some cases, your case may even be dismissed completely.
Search for a Lawyer With DUI Case ExperienceWhile the simplest solution may be to hire the first attorney you come across, it is best to hire someone who handles DUI cases exclusively—and attorney William C. Head has been doing just that since 1976. In fact, he was voted Georgia’s Top DUI Lawyer in 2012 by Best Lawyers in America, and his aggressive DUI defense tactics are mimicked by the countless attorneys who have read the more than a dozen textbooks he’s written on the subject.
Indeed, as writer of the state’s leading treatise on DUI law, Mr. Head literally wrote the book on Georgia DUI law. As such, it should come as no surprise to learn that his insight is often sought out by the media whenever a story involving DUI comes up in the news—you may have even seen him on the evening news and many other popular news programs.
Remember, just as a doctor specializes in a particular field of medicine, attorneys also specialize in a particular area of the law. As a result, when it comes to selecting the right person to handle your DUI case, it is always best to choose a firm that specializes in drunk driving defense—and as one of the most successful DUI attorneys in the nation, there’s no better choice for your needs than William C.
