You can spend up to 12 months in jail for a first DUI, do up to 240 hours community service, be subject to drug and alcohol testing for one year and serve 12 months of reporting probation. Your license may be suspended anywhere from 120 days to 5 years. Do not try to handle your Cherokee County DUI without an experienced Cherokee County DUI Attorney.

Advice as to who you decide to hire as your Athens DUI lawyer: 1) Don’t hire a DUI lawyer based solely on price. Sometimes the cheapest lawyer--especially if they plea you to a DUI you don't deserve at the first opportunity--can be the most expensive. Cost per hour is the best way to compare lawyers. If a lawyer charges $1000, but only spends an hour on your case, that's $1000 dollars an hour! We, unlike bargain basement firms, spend an average of 10 hours on every DUI case. 2) Ask any attorney that you speak with whether he/she has tried any DUI jury trials and how many not guilty verdicts he/she has received in the past 2 years; 3) Ask any attorney that you speak with whether he/she has studied police field sobriety training manuals and breath test machine, owner's and area supervisor's manuals. If not, they cannot adequately cross examine DUI police officers or breath test operators. A DUI lawyer who can't answer these questions is not ready for a real DUI jury trial and is not worth your time and money.

CASES OF NOTE - OTUWA v. STATE - A12A1382:
The Limits of Charging Lesser Included Offenses For First-Degree Vehicular Homicide

The record shows that Otuwa Otuwa was in a single-vehicle accident on a residential road on August 3, 2008. He lost control of his car, crashed through a stop sign and street sign, veered off of the road, and flipped multiple times. Otuwa's sister and another passenger were thrown from the vehicle and died of their injuries. Otuwa and a separate passenger survived. Reportedly, Otuwa smelled strongly of alcohol and his eyes were red and glassy. A preliminary roadside breath test showed that Otuwa had been drinking and returned a numerical result of .175 BAC. A further investigation showed that he was traveling at approximately 93 mph at the time of the accident. He was arrested and charged with two counts each of first-degree vehicular homicide by less-safe DUI, by per-se DUI, and by reckless driving, and less-safe DUI, per-se DUI, and reckless driving for a total of nine counts. more
