Joe is a Savannah businessman. When Joe was pulled over and arrested for DUI, the police officer said he had refused to take the breath test. In Georgia, such a refusal results in an automatic license suspension of driving privileges for one year. Joe knew his license was gone if he didn’t do something about it in 1o days.  After talking to Joe, we immediately prepared the necessary filings to challenge the automatic license suspension. We use the Administrative License Suspension Hearing to win at trial.We got the license suspension dismissed and then we prepared for the criminal case. But at least he can drive in the meantime.

Judgment: Driver’s license suspension dismissed

Police Officer’s Failure to Appear

My client was a student at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). He was pulled over for Speeding one night on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Savannah, Georgia. He was then arrested for DUI less safe.

He won his DUI license suspension hearing and got a Dismissal of the Administrative License Suspension in the Office of State Administrative Hearings because the police officer failed to appear in court for the license hearing. The police officer who arrested my client worked for the Savannah Metropolitan Police Department (SCMPD). He failed to appear in court on the day of the license suspension hearing.

The Administrative Law Judge called my client’s case and I stood up and said, “We are ready.” The judge then announced the police officer’s name. There was nothing but silence in the crowded Garden City Courtroom. The judge looked at me and asked “Motion?” I replied, “Motion to Rescind, your Honor.” The judge replied, “Granted.” And that was that.

Later that day, my client went and got a new driver’s license in Savannah, Georgia. He never lost his right to drive in Georgia, even though he refused to take a DUI breath test when he was arrested.

Judgment: License Suspension Dismissed for Failure to Appear

Port Wentworth DUI Arrest

Lance was driving home with his wife. A Port Wentworth police officer got behind him and followed him for about five miles. He was pulled over for Failure to maintain lane. The police officer wrote in his report that “the black BMW crossed the lane lines several times.” The officer walked up to his window.

He did the field sobriety tests and got arrested for DUI. At the station he blew a .111% on the Intoxilyzer 5000. He was shocked because he knew he wasn’t drunk. He needed his license to make a living and support his family. We challenged the license suspension. We brought a certified court reporter to make a solid record to use later on at the criminal case. At the hearing, I cross-examined the cop. One thing lead to another and the officer didn’t satisfy the burden of proof for the Administrative Law Judge. The suspension was denied. Lance walked away and drove while his DUI charges were pending in the State Court of Chatham County.

Judgment: DUI license suspension win
