DUI's generally increase over the holiday season. People are out having a good time, drinking and catching up with friends and family, and enjoying life.  Often, people are aware that they may be reaching their alcohol limits and stop drinking alcohol to switch to water or coffee. They intend to make the drive home safely. We appreciate your efforts.

But did you know, that even if you drink less than the legal alcohol level, you can still be arrested for a DUI. In Georgia, an officer can arrest you for "Tipsy Driving" or what is legally known as DUI Less Safe.  The officer can claim that putting together all the facts for the stop (i.e. swerving, failure to stop for a red light, improper lane change, etc.), along with your physical appearance (Field Sobriety Tests) and blood alcohol level (BAC)that he concluded you were Less Safe to drive because you were under the influence of alcohol. Under these circumstances, the officer can and will arrest you on the spot, your car will likely be towed and your evening will definitely be ruined.

DUI Less Safe carries the same penalty as a regular DUI.  The distinction refers only to the type of proof that must be provided during trial to convict of DUI.  KDH Law Firm specializes in defending against and attacking DUI charges on multiple levels.  We dig through everything from the reason for the stop, the validity of the Field Sobriety Testes, video evidence to the arresting officer's training.  We are available both day and night to help you when you need help the most.
