Cobb County DUI Lawyers

If you are arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) in Cobb County, Georgia, one of the first penalties you’ll face is an automatic license suspension. Indeed, the Department of Driver Services (DDS) will be notified of your arrest the moment it occurs and, in turn, revoke your driving privileges immediately. While you may appeal this sentence by requesting an administrative hearing with the DDS, you have only a limited amount of time to do so; otherwise, you will lose your one and only chance to retain your license. Fortunately, as one of the most experienced Cobb County DUI lawyers, Larry Kohn has handled thousands of administrative DUI cases and has the necessary skill to challenge your arrest and help you avoid losing your license.

After your arrest, you should have received a DS-1205 form notifying you that your driver’s license will be suspended in 30 days. Since your license was most likely confiscated at the time you were arrested, this document will serve as your temporary license until your suspension goes into effect, so it is important to keep it with you at all times. The DS-1205 form will also specify the reason for your arrest (either for driving with an illegal blood alcohol content or refusing to perform a chemical test) and inform you of the steps you must take in order to appeal your suspension.

To request a hearing with the DDS, you must complete, sign, and submit the DS-1205 form to the address listed on the document. If the DDS does not receive this document within 10 business days after your arrest, your request will be denied. Likewise, if you do not provide a valid legal reason for challenging your suspension, an administrative hearing will not be granted and your license suspension will remain in effect.
