Conviction Can Have Lasting Effects
Arrest and conviction for driving under the influence are far from just being nuisances. It is a significant crime that has a far-reaching effect on parts of your life that few can imagine. Those with even one DUI conviction, let alone repeat offenders, find themselves explaining their record of substance abuse during job interviews. It is a definite issue if your job ever requires you to obtain a security clearance.

Crimes Related To DUI
The tragedy associated with DUI cases is that too often innocent people become victims. If you kill or injure someone as a result of driving under the influence, your case suddenly requires the skills of a firm of criminal law attorneys. If the intoxicant proves to be a drug, then the case elevates to drug crimes. Perrotta, Lamb & Johnson, LLC has practiced criminal law and has represented those accused of DUI and drug crimes since 1984.
Field Sobriety Tests Georgia follows the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration’s standardized field sobriety tests. If an officer suspects impairment by the driver of a motor vehicle, a series of tests may be administered to determine probable cause of intoxication that may include:
- One-leg stand
- Walk a distance, then turn
- Horizontal gaze nystagmus test
- Standing, feet together and head tilted back
- Count the officer’s raised fingers
- Say the alphabet
- Count backward
- The famous touch finger to nose with eyes closed test
