Peachtree City DUI Attorney
South Metro Atlanta-Area DUI Defense Lawyer
Many people arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) in Georgia may have had no previous contact with the criminal justice system and will need an attorney to guide them through the legal process. And if you have been charged before, it is particularly important to have an experienced criminal defense lawyer at your side to mitigate the consequences of a second or third DUI charge.
At my Peachtree City law firm, the Tierney Law Firm, I fight DUI charges. Whether you have never been arrested before or are a repeat offender, there are things I can do to protect your rights and seek the most favorable outcome possible. As an attorney in practice since 1990, I have the experience and knowledge to seek alternate penalties, reduced charges and dismissals of drunk driving charges.

Criminal Charges Related to Drunk Driving
People arrested for drunk driving may actually find themselves facing charges other than a simple DUI. They may be charged with underage drinking and driving, commercial driver DUI, DUI with injuries, felony DUI, child endangerment, failing a breath or blood test and driving under the influence of illegal drugs or other controlled substances.
How I Can Help
The first consequence of a DUI charge is license revocation, which can occur during a traffic stop or soon after. You have only 10 days to request a hearing to retrieve your license, so it is important to act quickly. I will represent you at the Driver Services hearing.
The second part of a DUI is the criminal charge, which usually requires you to appear in court. As a criminal defense attorney, I will look for ways to reduce the criminal charges and seek alternate penalties.
Even for a first-time DUI charge, the consequences of conviction can be significant and follow you for many years. The risks are too great to leave your defense to an inexperienced lawyer.
