Savannah DUI Attorney
Arrested for Drunk Driving? Take Action Now? Call (912) 417-5008
Have you been arrested for driving under the influence? If so, your first course of action should be to get in touch with an experienced Savannah DUI lawyer from Schneider Lerch, LLC. We can help you navigate the complex legal process and build a strong defense.
First and foremost, you should know that you will only have 15 days to challenge the suspension of your license—which means that you must move quickly to schedule an administrative license suspension (ALS) hearing with the Department of Motor Vehicles if hope you retain your driving privileges.
Secondly, you will only have a limited amount of time to build a strong defense before the criminal trial begins. For this reason, you should not hesitate to take action now.
