Save Your Georgia Driver’s License from Suspension

After a drunk-driving arrest, the first thing you must do is save your Georgia driver’s license from suspension. When you received your ticket for driving under the influence (DUI), the officer also included the DS-1205 form. This form explains that you have 10 days from the date of your DUI arrest to request a hearing with the Department of Driver Services (DDS) to contest your administrative license suspension. Failure to meet the DDS deadline will result in the automatic suspension of your driving privileges 30 days after your arrest.

Attorney Greg Willis has helped many clients save their Georgia driver’s licenses from suspension. When you hire him, he will prepare a license appeal letter to submit to the DDS requesting a hearing. To confirm that the DDS received this letter, he will send it by certified mail and by fax with a confirmation. By having proof that the DDS received this request before the deadline, you can avoid any problems down the road.

Because this license suspension is considered administrative, and not criminal, your driving privileges can be taken away even if you are not convicted of drunk driving. In fact, the DDS can suspend your license whether you took the breathalyzer test and failed it or refused to submit to the officer’s request to take it.

The length of your administrative license suspension depends the number of DUI offenses you have had in the past. For a first offense, you could face a one-year suspension. A second offense carries a three-year suspension while a third offense carries a five-year suspension.

Mr. Willis can represent you during the administrative hearing in order to fight your suspension. He will prepare your case in order to increase your chances of a successful resolution. And, if the officer fails to appear, there is a 90% chance that the prosecutor will not oppose your request to retain your driving privileges.

Mr. Willis includes the license appeal as part of his affordable fee, so you will not pay extra for this valuable service. To learn more about how to save your Georgia driver’s license, and to receive a free initial, one-hour case evaluation, please contact our law office today.
