Augusta DMV Hearings Attorneys
Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) hearings, also known as Administrative License Suspension (ALS) hearings, decide if your driving privileges should be suspended after a DUI charge. These hearings are separate from criminal proceedings and take place before a Georgia administrative law judge.
An ALS hearing addresses the following issues:
- Whether you took breath and blood tests
- If the tests were done correctly
- Whether you refused to take a blood or breath test
- Whether you took and passed other field sobriety tests
- If law enforcement had reasonable cause to believe you were driving drunk
- Whether your BAC (blood alcohol concentration) was .08% or higher (for adults), .02% or higher (for drivers under 21), or .04% or higher (for commercial drivers)
- If you were arrested following legal procedures
- Whether you caused an accident involving injury or death
If you or a loved one has been arrested for DUI, contact an Augusta DUI lawyer at The Blitch Law Firm immediately. Our skilled attorneys can review your case, schedule your hearing, prepare you, and represent you at the hearing. Remember, you only have 30 days from the time you were cited for DUI to request an ALS hearing. An ALS hearing is a critical time for us to present evidence, challenge the defense’s case and test results, and fight for you.
