When you’re arrested for DUI in Georgia, one of the most critical deadlines you face is the 30-day window to appeal the Administrative License Suspension (ALS). If that deadline is missed, your license can be automatically suspended.
Filing the appeal isn’t just about sending in paperwork — it has to be done correctly, timely, and strategically.
One key part of our approach is ensuring that nothing incriminating is included in the appeal letter. The ALS process is separate from the criminal case, and anything submitted can potentially become part of the broader legal picture. For that reason, we focus on challenging the suspension strictly from a procedural and legal standpoint, without providing the State with additional evidence to use later.
In fact, we recently secured a win in a license suspension case by challenging the officer’s probable cause. By focusing on whether the stop and arrest were legally justified, we were able to prevent a 12-month license suspension for our client.
The ALS process moves quickly, and how it’s handled in the first 30 days can have a major impact on your driving privileges. Taking immediate, strategic action is essential to protecting your license.
