These driver services are available in the metro Atlanta area and have been publicized in the media.

Working with DUI client's in Alpharetta Municipal Court. I frequently defend client's against DUI charges in the Alpharetta Municipal Court. Getting stopped for DUI is the beginning of a humiliating event, and your troubles are just beginning. In all likelihood, you will be placed in handcuffs, arrested, and taken to jail. Your vehicle will be impounded and inventoried. Any contraband material found in your vehicle will cause additional charges to be made against you. You will have to arrange bail, and you will have 10 days from the date of your arrest to save your driving privileges. Your first step should be to select a local DUI defense attorney to represent you. Hiring someone who regularly defends DUI clients in the local court is best. It is possible that a skilled DUI defense attorney could get your DUI charge reduced to reckless driving. In all likelihood you will have to attend a DUI school and perform many hours of community service. This would be a big win however, because a reckless driving conviction is not a DUI conviction, that will follow you the rest of your life. www.lawofficeofscottmiller.com

Getting client’s passing school bus charge dismissed in Roswell. I appeared with my client in Roswell Municipal Court to fight her passing school bus charge. She was on her way to work and did not see the stopped school bus. After negotiation with the prosecutor, I was able to get her charge dismissed. The Department of Georgia Drivers Services will not be made aware of this issue. Every day, local law enforcement officers in and around school zones protect our children. They vigorously look for offenders passing school buses that are loading or unloading passengers. A stopped school bus is a safety zone for children getting on or off of the bus. If you pass the bus, you are driving through a child’s safety zone, and you will get a ticket. Law Enforcement Officials vigorously enforce the law in and around school zones and school buses. Don’t endanger our children! Obey the law and stop immediately when you see the red lights flashing! www.lawofficeofscottmiller.com

Don’t be a fool in April, don’t drive distracted! I recently received a call from a potential client who was ticketed for distracted driving while stopped at a traffic light and looking at his GPS.

After these requirements are completed “the hold and clear” “which means” an earned dismissal will be completed This is another very happy client of the Alpharetta, Georgia DUI defense attorney Scott Miller. www.lawofficeofscottmiller.com
