Athens Driving Under the Influence Charge Attorneys

Get an Attorney Experienced in Reviewing and Examining Roadblocks

Police throughout Athens and Northeast Georgia are cracking down on Driving Under the Influence. Local officers and State troopers are increasingly setting up roadblocks to determine the sobriety of individuals. Law enforcement officers are using these roadblocks as a way to charge many drivers with DUI in a short period of time. These roadblocks are especially prevalent during holidays and other times in which police perceive there will be a lot of alcohol consumption.

Stopped at a roadcheck and charged with DUI? Citizens are provided with certain constitutional protections, and officers must conduct roadblocks in specific ways in order for them to be lawful. Contact a criminal defense attorney with experience in reviewing the legality of these roadblocks and the DUI arrests that result from roadblocks at 706-410-2993 or 866-968-3385. We are experienced and knowledgeable in what law enforcement has to do in setting up and maintaining these sobriety checkpoints.
