A common type of Georgia DUI charge that our Georgia DUI lawyers defend is known as a DUI "less safe" charge. In most cases where our clients are charged with only DUI less safe, that charge arises as a result of an alleged refusal of the state-administered blood, breath, or urine test in connection with their arrest for DUI. A refusal of the state-administered breath test can create a very defensible case because the state is deprived of the piece of evidence that most heavily rely upon to show impairment - the state-administered blood, breath, or urine test. Although a refusal of the state-administered blood, breath, or urine test may have very harsh ramifications on a driver's license or privilege to drive in the state of Georgia, we have an excellent record of obtaining dismissals and reductions of charges in DUI refusal cases.

In Georgia, you can be charged with DUI despite the fact that your BAC was less than .08. You can also be charged with DUI in Georgia if you refuse to allow the state to test your blood, breath, or urine. If your BAC was less than .08 or you refused the blood, breath, or urine test and the state decides to go forward with the charge of DUI against you, you will be charged under Georgia's DUI less safe law.

Experienced Georgia DUI lawyers recognize that there are favorable Georgia DUI cases which define "less safe" in a manner that is beneficial to our clients. Nonetheless, whatever definition is used, skilled Georgia DUI lawyers recognize that multiple pieces of evidences must be analyzed in order to successfully defend a Georgia DUI "less safe" charge.

Georgia DUI lawyers that successfully defend DUI "less safe" charges look at a multitude of factors, not simply an officer's account of the clients performance on standardized field sobriety tests. Our Georgia DUI lawyers have successfully completed the 24-hour NHTSA standardized field sobriety test administration course, but our Georgia DUI lawyers recognize that field sobriety tests are often not where the fight over whether a driver is "less safe" should be waged.
