DUI
Experienced DUI Defense Lawyer in Gwinnett County

Being arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) in Gwinnett County can be an overwhelming experience. You may have questions about the legal process, potential penalties, and how to protect your driving privileges. At Elbaz & Elbaz Law, our experienced criminal defense attorneys specialize in fighting DUI charges to safeguard your freedom, reputation, and future. Georgia’s DUI laws are among the strictest in the country, with penalties that include substantial fines, license suspension, and even jail time—especially for repeat offenses. Our priority is to keep your record clean and defend your rights in court.

Georgia DUI laws set strict limits and impose severe consequences for violations. Drivers can be charged with DUI if their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.08% or higher. For commercial drivers, the limit is 0.04%, and for drivers under 21, it is 0.02%. First-time DUI convictions can result in fines, probation, community service, and possible license suspension. For repeat offenses, the penalties increase significantly, including mandatory jail time and longer license suspensions.

Law enforcement officers often use field sobriety tests, breathalyzers, or blood tests during a DUI stop. Refusing these tests can lead to additional penalties under Georgia’s implied consent laws. Understanding these processes is critical to building a strong defense.

At Elbaz & Elbaz Law, we employ a strategic and thorough approach to DUI defense. Our team starts by examining the circumstances of your arrest, including police conduct, testing procedures, and any potential violations of your rights. Errors in administering field sobriety or chemical tests can sometimes render evidence inadmissible, significantly weakening the prosecution’s case.

We also leverage our deep familiarity with Gwinnett County courts, including those in Lawrenceville, Duluth, and Suwanee, to provide you with a tailored defense strategy. Whether negotiating reduced charges or advocating for dismissal, our attorneys are committed to achieving the best possible outcome for your case.

Our firm combines extensive legal expertise with a personalized approach to client representation. We understand how a DUI charge can impact your life, and we are here to guide you through every step of the legal process. As a local law firm, we have strong relationships with the judges, prosecutors, and court systems in Gwinnett County, giving us a strategic edge in your defense.
