When you face a DUI charge in Alpharetta, GA, you will have many questions. Your best course of action in order to get clear and correct answers to these questions is to contact an experienced lawyer immediately following your arrest.

If you are charged with a very serious DUI offense, such as when an accident, injury, death, or when a minor is present in the vehicle during the time of the arrest you should contact the Law Offices of Richard S.
