Administrative License Suspension (ALS) in Georgia

Savannah Administrative License Suspension Attorneys

Act Quickly To Save Your License--Call (912) 417-5008 Today

If you are pulled over for a suspected DUI in the state of Georgia, you can expect the police officer to eventually request that you submit to a chemical test. While you are curbside, it is likely that you will only be able to take a breathalyzer test but there are also blood and urine tests that could be conducted elsewhere. If you fail your chemical test, you could automatically lose your driver's license through an immediate suspension. You do have the legal right to challenge the legality of an administrative license suspension, however, but statutes of limitation only allow you 30 days after your arrest to file for a hearing. This is why you need to contact our powerful Savannah Administrative License Suspension lawyers quickly. 

Call us today at (912) 417-5008 or contact us online. We can help defend your rights as delineated by the Constitution.

Being arrested for driving under the influence is a terrible event that will have a lot of consequences on your life. Not only do you have to suffer harsh penalties from time spent in jail to deep monetary charges, but your driver's license could be suspended through something called an administrative hearing. 

If you lose your driver's license, this means far more than just decreased independence. Without a license, you cannot get to your place of work or education, or even get basic needs for life, from groceries to medicine. Thankfully, there is an opportunity to appeal, so that you do not have to depend on unreliable public transit, expensive taxis, or busy friends just to get to the places you need for the necessities of life.

Here at Schneider Lerch Bronston, LLC our attorneys will aggressively support you all the way in fighting against the suspension of your driver’s license.

ALS Hearings in Savannah

When you are at an administrative license hearing, there are certain factors that will contribute to how long your suspension will last. The hearing officer will carefully weigh these aspects when deciding.

Some of these considerations include:

• If an actual accident occurred, especially one that involved a terrible injury or even a fatality, based on your behavior or mental and physical capacity at the time.
• If the officer who had arrested you really had logical grounds to pull you over, based on true signs you were under the influence.
• If you were ever completely or appropriately informed about your rights to consent.
• If you were ever told what the consequences were for not consenting to sobriety testing, including the BAC (breath test).
• If your BAC test came back at a level above.08% (if you are an adult), or if the level was above .02% (if you are younger than 21).
• Whether you refused the state-administrated test.
