Cobb County Attorney
by Staff Writer
If you’ve been arrested in Cobb County for DUI, it is very important to consider hiring an attorney who specializes in DUI defense. Drinking and driving laws have become more and more complicated and severe. Creating a solid defense requires the expertise of a lawyer versed in Georgia DUI law and very specialized DUI defense strategies.
Although many defendants hope to save money by acting as their own attorney, it is not advisable to do so, as it may potentially lead to a disastrous outcome. DUI litigation is among the most complicated, and hotly contested, areas of modern law. DUI attorneys, armed with years of education and specialized trial experience (as well as competent employees and up-to-date technology) will mount a case that will explore every legal avenue available, and advocate for the most favorable court disposition.
Unfortunately, many defendants, believing they’ve been caught “red-handed,” choose not to pursue acquittal or more favorable court results. While a defendant may have “failed” the field sobriety tests administered by police officers, there are many ways to contest the legitimacy of field sobriety tests, and seek to suppress harmful evidence. Attorneys familiar with DUI laws and the way field sobriety tests are supposed to be administered and evaluated are capable of challenging the officer’s arrest decision based on these tests and seek to get the court to find that there was no probable cause to arrest the defendant for DUI.
In addition to performing cross-examination that will attempt to undermine the prosecutor’s case, DUI attorneys can properly handle all legal paperwork associated with the case, and conduct important case research. Most defendants are unprepared to take on the responsibilities of navigating complex legal jargon, court proceedings, and rules of evidence, let alone arguing–and winning–difficult legal cases.
