Liberty County GA License suspension criminal defense attorney
Savannah GA Criminal lawyer
Georgia, like every other state, has an administrative penalty for any driver who upon being asked by a police officer to submit to a state administered chemical sobriety test does not take the test. This refusal will not cause any monetary fines to be paid, nor can you be jailed merely for refusing to take the government s test. But, Georgia will seek to suspend your drivers license for a one year period. A person who challenges the suspension by filing a request for a hearing within 10 business days after the alleged refusal may succeed in preventing this suspension for refusal. When counting days, the day of arrest will not count. Also, never count Saturdays, Sundays or State holidays. Failure to appeal the suspension within 10 business days will almost certainly result in this one year suspension. In rare cases, if providential cause for late filing can be shown, a late appeal will be accepted by DPS.
