The simple truth is, if you depend on your CDL to make a living, you can’t afford not to. You are facing more than losing your CDL. The charges against you can also result in:
- Fines ranging from $300 to $1,000.
- A minimum of 20 hours in jail.
- The possibility of both probation and substance abuse rehabilitation.
- 40 hours of community service.
- The possibility of huge jumps in your insurance costs.
- The disappointment of your loved ones.
- The possibility that you will find roadblocks in the future regarding your housing, employment, and education.
Add all this to the fact that you will lose your CDL for at least one year, and your decision should be simple.
An experienced north Georgia DUI defense attorney can fight for you, using all the possible legal options available. You are facing too much ruin to try to go it alone. It may be possible to reduce the charges, get them dismissed, or lessen the plea by hiring a lawyer. However, without one, your chances of achieving any of these things are slim to none.
Keep in mind that, unlike other states, Georgia offers no second chances. Once convicted, you cannot get a limited permit for your CDL, no exceptions.
