Cobb County DUI Attorneys

Each year, officers arrest countless of Georgia motorists for driving with an illegal blood alcohol content (BAC) in Cobb County—despite it having no effect on their driving ability. Due to federal per se laws restricting the amount of alcohol a driver can have in his or her system, simply driving with a BAC above the legal limit is enough to warrant an arrest, and lead to penalties such as license suspension, fines, and jail time. Fortunately, with the right defense strategy, you may be able to avoid many of these consequences. As home to one of the most successful Cobb County DUI attorneys you can find, the Law Offices of Greg Willis is here to help you do just that.

Although most of the drivers who are charged with DUI in Cobb County do not show signs of impairment at the time they are arrested, this fact will have little impact on your case if a chemical test indicated you had an illegal amount of alcohol in your bloodstream. Designed to calculate BAC, chemical tests work by analyzing the amount of alcohol detected on your breath or in your blood or urine, and then using that information to determine your overall BAC. If your results reveal a BAC of 0.08% or higher, you can expect to be arrested and charged with drunk driving.

If you are under 21 or operate a commercial vehicle, you can be arrested for DUI if your BAC exceeds the limit state law imposes on these drivers (0.02% for underage drivers and 0.04% for commercial drivers). In addition, due to Georgia’s Implied Consent Law, you can even be charged with DUI just for refusing to perform any type of chemical test.

While chemical tests are one of the most common tools officers use to identify drunk drivers, their results are by no means perfect. Certain medical disorders—including diabetes and acid reflux disease—can falsely elevate a person’s BAC, as can using products like mouthwash, breath mints, and chewing gum. What’s more, if the officer who administered the test did not receive proper training or the testing conditions were unfavorable (such as poor lighting, bad weather, etc.), the accuracy of your results can be easily disputed.
