What is a DUI in Georgia?

Drugs often come with side effects, such as drowsiness, dizziness, slow reaction time, decreased coordination, and impaired judgment of time and distance. When these effects are combined with driving, it often results in reckless driving and terrible accidents.

In Georgia, it is illegal to operate a vehicle while under the influence of drugs. If there is evidence that an individual was impaired by drugs while driving, he or she can be charged with DUI. This is true no matter the type of drug, including illegal drugs, prescription drugs, and over-the-counter drugs.

To convict someone of a DUI-drug crime, it is not necessary for the state to prove that a defendant had a particular level of drugs in his or her system. They must simply demonstrate that the individual was incapable of driving safely.

The state can show impairment by:

  • A state-administered chemical test
  • A field sobriety test
  • The presence of drugs in a defendant’s vehicle
  • An admission of drug use
  • Evidence of erratic driving
  • Slurred or frantic speech

What Are the Penalties for a DUI in Georgia?

The penalties for driving under the influence of drugs are the same as alcohol-based DUI charges. These include fines, imprisonment, probation, license suspension, ignition interlock devices, and DUI classes. The level of punishment is usually increased for repeat offenders. For instance, fines will be higher and jail time and license suspension will be longer for second and third offenders.

Our Reviews

Trusted by Clients in Their Most Critical Moments
    He was the most prepared attorney, and it showed.
    “Ted assisted my wife and me with litigation that took over 7 years to finalize. When our first attorney had a conflict arise, Ted immediately developed a strategy and consulted with us on how we should proceed. Throughout the process Ted and his assistant kept us "in the loop" as to what was happening and our next steps.

    Ted was able to offer the direct contact that only a smaller, experienced firm can offer. We had several meetings at our home and even on a few weekends to make sure we were adequately prepared for our hearing. We attribute our final success (even after appeal by the other side) to Ted's tenacity and research of case law. He was the most prepared attorney, and it showed.

    The professionalism of the firm also extended to his legal assistant. She was organized and prepared and definitely part of the legal team. I would recommend Ted without hesitation to anyone needing legal guidance.”
    - Ryan
    The Law Firm shows that they truly care about who they represent and are willing to the extra mile.
    “Ted Morgan's law firm was very user friendly during the entire process. It was a new experience dealing with a law firm and I was very impressed with the time taken to explain the process and assist with every step until the completion of my case. The Law Firm is in a great location inside an excellent facility in downtown Columbus, GA. Mr. Morgan was recommended by a friend to assist me with my legal process, and I have since referred Ted Morgan's law firm to two fellow co-workers for legal assistance. The Law Firm shows that they truly care about who they represent and are willing to the extra mile.”

    I would recommend Ted to anyone going through this process.

    Ted kept me continuously in the know of what options were available to me during my case. He was understanding to circumstances that come up which can postpone trial dates and agreeable outcomes and because of this, we were able to effectively work in our favor the desirable outcome that met all parties' time frames. He is very knowledgeable in the tangibles of the law relating to DUI less safe and what should and should not be conducted at specific points in time. It is this experience that lends itself to success. I would recommend Ted to anyone going through this process.”
