Clarke County Drunk Driving Defense Lawyer
It can happen innocently enough. You have a few drinks and don't realize you are impaired. Before you know it, you are pulled over and charged with DUI. In this situation, you probably have many questions. Will I go to jail? Will I face driver's license suspension? Will a conviction go on my permanent record? How much will it cost?
You need a lawyer experienced in DUI defense. At Baker & Slider, LLC, we believe one mistake should not ruin your life. Therefore, we aggressively defend clients in Athens and the surrounding communities against DUI charges. Call 706-410-2993 or 866-968-3385 to speak with a lawyer today.
It Pays to Have Experience on Both Sides
Our criminal defense attorneys have experience as prosecutors. Jason Slider has prosecuted jury trials as both a prosecutor and defense attorney in the past. He served as a prosecutor with the Athens-Clarke County Office of the Solicitor General. John H. Baker was specially appointed as prosecutors of misdemeanors in Oglethorpe County.
Because of this experience, we know how the prosecution prepares for cases. We know what challenges the opposition faces, how judges handle the cases and, in many instances, how the police officers will testify. We use this information to build strong defenses for our clients.
Thorough Investigation
When you retain our services, we will investigate all aspects of the arrest. We will consider:
- The legality of the stop
- If the police followed proper protocol before and after the arrest
- If the field sobriety or breath tests were administered appropriately
- The arresting officer's record
Our criminal defense lawyers will examine your case from all angles. All evidence in your favor will be used to build a defense strategy designed for your particular situation.
Charged with DUI? Know your rights. Contact an attorney with DUI jury trial prosecution and defense experience at 706-410-2993 or 866-968-3385. We are not afraid to fight for your rights in the courtroom.
Special Concerns for College Students
If you are a college student charged with DUI, you not only face penalties in the court, but you may also face punishment from your college. By fighting the charge in court, we work to minimize its impact on your life. Sometimes, a successful outcome means the case is dismissed. Other times, it may involve a plea bargain. However, our goal is to get the best possible result for your specific circumstance.
We also defend clients charged with underage alcohol possession and fake id.
