Driving under the influence (DUI) charges can be a life-altering event, especially in Forsyth County where the laws are strict and the penalties severe. Among the various types of DUI charges, a Per Se DUI defense is particularly challenging to defend.
At the Law Office of Vic Wiegand, Esq., we specialize in Per Se DUI defense and are dedicated to providing you with the legal expertise necessary to navigate these serious charges.
Understanding Per Se DUI
A Per Se DUI is a specific type of DUI charge where the prosecution does not need to prove that the driver was impaired. Instead, the charge is based solely on the driver’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level.
In Georgia, as in many other states, a BAC of 0.08% or higher constitutes a Per Se DUI. This means that if your BAC exceeds this limit, you can be charged with a DUI regardless of your actual driving behavior or level of impairment.
The Implications of a Per Se DUI Charge
Per Se DUI charges carry significant consequences. If convicted, you could face substantial fines, a lengthy license suspension, mandatory DUI education programs, community service, and even jail time.
Additionally, a DUI conviction will remain on your criminal record, potentially affecting your employment prospects, insurance rates, and personal reputation.
Given these severe repercussions, it is crucial to mount a robust defense with the help of an experienced attorney who understands the intricacies of Per Se DUI cases.
How a Per Se DUI Defense Lawyer Can Help
Navigating the legal landscape of a Per Se DUI charge requires specialized knowledge and expertise.
Here’s how a professional Per Se DUI defense lawyer from the Law Office of Vic Wiegand, Esq. can assist you:
- Comprehensive Case Evaluation: We begin with a thorough review of the details surrounding your arrest. This includes examining the circumstances of the traffic stop, the administration of field sobriety tests, and the accuracy of the BAC testing equipment used.
- Challenging BAC Evidence: One of the primary strategies in Per Se DUI defense is to challenge the BAC evidence. This can involve questioning the calibration and maintenance records of the breathalyzer, the qualifications of the person administering the test, and the procedures followed during the testing process.
- Investigating Procedural Errors: Police officers must follow strict protocols during DUI arrests. Any deviation from these procedures can be grounds for dismissing the charges. We scrutinize every aspect of your arrest to identify any procedural errors or violations of your rights.
- Negotiating Reduced Charges: In some cases, it may be possible to negotiate with the prosecution for reduced charges or alternative sentencing options. Our skilled attorneys are adept at negotiating plea deals that can minimize the impact on your life.
