DUI Defense

Big firm expertise, Small firm attention

dui attorney serving covington, ga and surrounding areas

covington's top rated dui laywer

If you are charged with DUI, the risks of trying to handle the case yourself are just too high.  These cases require up to date knowledge of Georgia DUI laws, protocols, and administrative rules that frequently change, as well as the science behind DUI testing processes and equipment.  No matter what the circumstances of your case, the Doepke Law Firm, LLC has extensive training and experience in the most effective DUI defense to get you the best possible outcome.

The science behind a successful DUI defense

A strong DUI defense involves analyzing all the evidence in your case, including the initial traffic stop, field sobriety testing, the arrest, the implied consent warning, and the results of any chemical testing.  Your driving record, especially if you have previous DUI’s, is also an important factor. We will challenge deficiencies in any of these areas through motions to suppress and/or a trial. Because convictions for DUI carry jail time, probation, and license suspensions, it’s imperative to have an expert attorney who will pursue every possible defense to protect your rights.

Avoid Administrative License Suspensions

If you refused the State chemical test or had a blood alcohol level over the legal limit (.08 BAC if 21 years of age or older/.04 for commercial drivers/.02 BAC if under 21 years of age), then you may also be facing a lengthy administrative suspension of your license through the Department of Driver Services. These administrative proceedings have strict timelines that must be followed to challenge the license suspension while you also fight the actual DUI charge. We will act quickly to file an appeal and help you avoid your license being suspended whenever possible.

This client never lost his driving privileges.

Our Covid-19 Plan

Doepke Law Firm is continuing to serve clients and manage cases as efficiently as possible. However, all businesses must continue to adapt in response to the evolving COVID-19 pandemic, and governments are increasingly requiring people entering courthouses to wear face masks. In alignment with other businesses and Newton County requirements to wear face covering while occupying public spaces, we currently request that everyone coming to our office to wear a “face mask”.
