If you have already been convicted of a DUI within the past 10 years, you may suffer very serious consequences if found guilty. Georgia lawmakers have very strict penalties for individuals who have committed more than one DUI, thus it is crucial that you contact a qualified DUI attorney in the Henry County area as soon as possible. If you are convicted you may face long jail sentences, high fines, and a long period of license suspension or complete revocation. If this is your fourth DUI and you are convicted you will be charged with a felony, which carries a 5 year jail sentence and you may lose your license for up to 10 years.
