Protect Your Rights with Skilled DUI Representation

Comprehensive DUI Defense Services

At Met Lane Law, we know that a DUI charge can be overwhelming and life-changing. A conviction can lead to severe penalties, including fines, license suspension, and even jail time. Our experienced DUI defense attorneys are here to protect your rights, challenge the evidence, and work toward the best possible outcome for your case.

Facing a DUI charge requires knowledgeable and aggressive legal representation. At Met Lane Law, we handle every aspect of your DUI case, including:

License Suspension Defense

After a DUI arrest, your driver’s license is at immediate risk. Georgia law enforces strict administrative penalties, which often include an automatic license suspension. We act quickly to request and represent you at an administrative license suspension (ALS) hearing, challenging the evidence and advocating to retain your driving privileges. For those unable to avoid suspension, we explore options like hardship licenses to keep you mobile.

DUI Arrest Challenges

Not every DUI arrest follows proper procedure. Our team meticulously reviews the circumstances of your traffic stop, arrest, and subsequent testing to identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. This includes:

  • Determining if the officer had reasonable suspicion or probable cause for the stop.
  • Reviewing how field sobriety tests were conducted.
  • Analyzing the reliability of breathalyzer or blood test results, including maintenance records of testing devices.

These challenges can lead to evidence suppression or even dismissal of charges.

First-Time DUI Offenses

A first DUI offense can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to define your future. Georgia imposes penalties such as fines, community service, and mandatory DUI education programs. For first-time offenders, we work to secure reduced charges, negotiate plea agreements, or explore alternative sentencing options like diversion programs. These options can help you avoid harsh penalties and minimize the impact on your life and career.

Repeat DUI Offenses

Georgia treats repeat DUI offenses with significantly harsher penalties, including longer license suspensions, increased fines, and mandatory jail time. We understand the stakes and develop aggressive strategies to protect you. This includes:

  • Examining prior convictions to ensure they meet legal standards for enhancement.
  • Negotiating with prosecutors to reduce penalties or avoid repeat offender status.
  • Presenting mitigating evidence that demonstrates your commitment to change, such as proof of counseling or rehabilitation efforts.

Underage DUI Defense

Georgia enforces a zero-tolerance policy for drivers under 21, meaning a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) as low as 0.02% can lead to a DUI charge. For young clients, the consequences of a DUI can extend far beyond the courtroom, affecting education, job prospects, and scholarships. We focus on:

  • Protecting the long-term interests of underage drivers.
  • Pursuing alternative resolutions to prevent a permanent record.
  • Advocating for reduced charges or participation in diversion programs tailored to young offenders.

Commercial Driver DUI Defense

For commercial drivers, a DUI arrest can threaten your livelihood. Georgia holds CDL holders to stricter BAC limits (0.04%) and imposes severe penalties, even for first-time offenses. Our team works to:

  • Challenge the evidence against you to protect your commercial driver’s license (CDL).
  • Address both the criminal case and administrative license suspension process.
  • Help you explore career-saving alternatives, such as entering substance abuse programs or negotiating lesser charges.
