Getting client’s DUI reduced in Gwinnett County:
In November, I appeared with my client in Gwinnett Recorders Court.
I was there to defend him against a DUI, driving less safe charge.Georgia code 40-6-391 states that no one shall drive or be in physical control of a moving vehicle while under the influence of alcohol to the extent that it is less safe for that person to drive.
A person convicted of DUI for the first offense in the state of Georgia may have to spend at least 2 days in jail.
A fine of not less than $390 and no more than $1000 plus penalties must be paid.
There will be a summary probation period of 3 to 5 years.
A DUI conviction will remain on your record for 10 years.
After considerable negotiation with the prosecutor, I got the court to agree to reduce my client’s charge to reckless driving.
My client will not have a DUI conviction on his record.
This is another very happy outcome for my client who was charged with DUI.
