If you have been arrested for a DUI in Gainesville, Georgia, your first court appearance—often listed on your traffic citation—may be scheduled in the Gainesville Municipal Court. In some cases, your initial appearance may instead be in the State Court of Hall County, which is the trial court with jurisdiction over all misdemeanor offenses in Hall County.
If you request a jury trial in your DUI case, your case will be transferred to and tried in the State Court of Hall County, regardless of whether your first appearance occurred in municipal court.
Bill Hardman has represented clients charged with DUI and traffic offenses in Hall County State Court for over 10 years. He has also handled numerous accident-related DUI cases in Hall County. Every DUI case is unique, and it is critical to fully understand the facts, evidence, and available defenses.
Georgia DUI law is constantly evolving. Appellate court decisions frequently change and may significantly affect the defenses available in your case. An experienced Georgia DUI attorney should review your case to identify potential legal and factual challenges to the charge.
Innocent individuals are arrested for DUI far more often than many people realize. A thorough review of your case can uncover evidence that should be brought to the prosecutor’s attention before trial. If your case proceeds to trial, it is essential to have an experienced DUI attorney who can clearly present all defenses and arguments so the jury understands why a not-guilty verdict is appropriate.
In all DUI cases, it is important to speak with a Georgia DUI attorney as soon as possible after an arrest. A DUI conviction in Georgia carries mandatory minimum jail time and driver’s license suspensions, along with other serious consequences.
If you have been arrested for a DUI in Hall County, contact our office to discuss your case. You may submit the contact form below, call our office directly, or send questions through our “Ask Us About Your DUI Case” tab.
