Suwanee DUI Lawyer

Cory Yager

DUI laws keep getting tougher and tougher in Georgia. Even if this is your first driving under the influence offense, you will be required to spend time in jail.

If you have been arrested for drunk driving in Suwanee, Cory Yager, Esquire can help. Before becoming an attorney, Mr. Yager worked as a police officer for the Cobb County Police Department and the City of Roswell Police Department. Thanks to his work as an officer, Attorney Yager has extensive inside knowledge of DUI cases from the police department and prosecution’s point of view. He knows the common mistakes that law enforcement agents make when arresting someone for DUI. As a result, he also understands the very best defense strategies to successfully avoid conviction.

Attorney Yager currently practices with Head, Thomas, Webb & Willis, one of the best known DUI defense law firms in the nation. He has successfully represented numerous clients in DUI, traffic violations, and criminal cases.

In Suwanee, a driver over the age of 21 can be charged with driving under the influence if his or her BAC (blood alcohol content) is 0.08 percent or higher. For drivers under 21, the limit is 0.02 percent.

If convicted of driving under the influence, you can expect jail time ranging from 24 hours to 1 year, as well as 1 year of reporting probation. Your driver’s license will also be suspended for up to a year and you will be ordered to perform extensive community service.

In addition to these court-mandated penalties, you may experience problems in your personal life. When your auto insurance company discovers a DUI conviction on your record, they may drop your coverage or cause your rates to soar. Your employment may also be in jeopardy should your boss learn of your conviction.

You will also face two different courts: an administrative court and criminal court. The administrative court determines whether or not you will receive an administrative license suspension. You have ten business days to request a hearing. If you do not request a hearing before the end of the 10 days, your license will be automatically suspended. Attorney Yager can handle this administrative hearing on your behalf and ensure that you do not miss any important deadlines.
