Bill Hardman has represented clients accused of DUI in all of the courts in Banks County and other across the State of Georgia. Due to the amount of traffic that now proceeds through Banks County, officers are searching and checking for DUI drivers. Police officers in Banks County also frequently use roadblocks to check for impaired drivers. 

Important Deadlines in your DUI case: You may be subject to an administrative/or implied consent suspension license suspension if you refused a requested blood test or breath test. You may also be subject to an administrative license suspension if you took a blood test or a breath test and the results were above the legal limit. The legal limit for alcohol if you are over 21 years of age is 0.08 and in in Georgia Code Section 40-6-391.  If you are under 21, the legal limit is .02.  The important thing to remember is that you only have 30 days from the date of your arrest to appeal these administrative license suspensions or they may go into effect automatically, even though your temporary driver's permit last for 45 days. These license suspensions may also go into effect before you ever go to a court and enter any plea or have the evidence in your DUI case heard by a judge or a jury. When you request an appeal of the administrative suspension of your license, that hearing is held in a completely separate court from your criminal case. These appeal hearings are held in the Georgia Office of State Administrative Hearing Courts, which provide over Georgia administrative agencies issues. One of those Georgia administrative agencies is the Georgia Department of Driver Services that issues Georgia driver's licenses. To read about these license suspensions and the 30-day letter to appeal these suspensions see here:
