Augusta GA License revocation criminal law firm

Richmond County federal defense lawyer

In Georgia, like in all other states, there is an administrative penalty for any driver who upon being asked by a police officer to submit to a state conducted chemical sobriety test refuses to take the test. This refusal will not cause any monetary fines to be paid, nor can you be imprisoned simply for refusing to take the government s test. Whereas, Georgia will seek to suspend your drivers license for a one year period. A person who contests the suspension by filing a request for a hearing within 10 business days after the alleged refusal can be successful in preventing this suspension for refusal. While counting days, the day of arrest will not count. Also, do not include Saturdays, Sundays or State holidays. Failure to appeal the suspension within 10 business days will almost certainly result in a one year suspension. In very few cases, if providential cause for late filing can be demonstrated, a late appeal will be accepted by DPS.
