My name is Rick Ryczek, I’m a Georgia DUI Lawyer, and I represent people who have gotten a DUI all over the Metro Atlanta area. My office is next to the courthouse in Gwinnett County. If you’re facing a first DUI, the mandatory minimum penalties are as follows: You must have at least 12 months’ probation, the mandatory minimum jail sentence is 10 days, and all but 24 hours may be suspended or probated. The minimum fine is $300, and the maximum fine is $1,000. You must perform at least 40 hours community service, undergo a 20 hour risk reduction course or DUI school, and you have to undergo a clinical evaluation unless it is waived by the court. If you do the evaluation and they recommend that you need treatment, you must undergo that substance abuse treatment. It’s important to have a good lawyer that knows how to navigate your case through the court, and use any technical defense to get you the best deal, a reduction in charge, or be ready for trial if it’s the kind of case that can be trialed. Again, my name is Rick Ryczek. Please refer to the Penalties tab of my website: www.GoodByeDUI.com to learn more.
