The holiday season, stretching from Thanksgiving to New Year’s, is a time for celebration, but it’s also a time when DUI arrests spike. At Rowsey & Stelter, Attorneys at Law, we understand how overwhelming it can be to face a DUI charge during what should be a joyous time of year. If you’ve been charged with driving under the influence, giving yourself the gift of experienced legal representation could make all the difference in your case—and in your future.

The Holiday Season and DUIs: A Common Problem

It’s no secret that the holiday season brings an increase in social gatherings, office parties, and family celebrations, many of which involve alcohol. Unfortunately, the combination of festive drinking and increased road traffic leads to a dramatic uptick in DUI arrests.

Statistics show that 40% of traffic-related deaths during the Christmas and New Year’s period involve alcohol-impaired driving, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Similarly, Thanksgiving weekend is notorious for being one of the most dangerous times to be on the road, with law enforcement agencies nationwide ramping up patrols and DUI checkpoints.

If you were pulled over and charged with a DUI during the holidays, you’re not alone—but it’s essential to act quickly to protect your rights.

Why You Need an Attorney for Your DUI Case

Facing a DUI charge can be intimidating. Georgia’s DUI laws are strict, with potential penalties including:

• Fines and court costs
• Driver’s license suspension
• Mandatory DUI education programs
• Community service
• Jail time

Having an experienced DUI attorney on your side can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case. At Rowsey & Stelter, we know how to navigate Georgia’s DUI laws and build a strong defense strategy tailored to your situation. Here’s how we can help:

1. Protect Your Rights

A DUI arrest can involve complex procedures, and law enforcement officers must follow strict protocols. We’ll review your case to determine if your rights were violated during the stop, arrest, or chemical testing process.

2. Challenge Evidence

Breathalyzer tests and field sobriety tests are not foolproof. Our team will carefully examine the evidence against you to identify any errors or inconsistencies that could weaken the prosecution’s case.

3. Negotiate on Your Behalf

Depending on the circumstances of your case, we may be able to negotiate a reduction in charges or penalties, potentially saving you from harsh consequences.

4. Advocate for You in Court

If your case goes to trial, you can trust our attorneys to provide aggressive representation, fighting for the best possible outcome.
