Georgia criminal defense laws
Every state has different criminal laws and penalties. Here's what you need to know about defending charges in Georgia.
DUI / DWI Laws
Up to 1 year jail, $300-$1,000 fine, 120-day license suspension, DUI school, 40 hours community service
48 hours to 1 year jail, $600-$1,000 fine, 18-month license suspension (hard suspension for 120 days), 30 days community service
Georgia has mandatory minimum jail time for repeat offenses. Refusing a breathalyzer triggers a 1-year administrative license suspension under implied consent law.
Drug Laws
Under 1 oz: misdemeanor (up to 1 year jail, $1,000 fine). Over 1 oz: felony (1-10 years prison).
Georgia has strict drug laws. Possession of more than 1 ounce of marijuana is a felony. First Offender Act may be available for first-time drug offenses.
Assault & Self-Defense
Misdemeanor — up to 1 year jail, $1,000 fine
Felony — 1-20 years prison (assault with a deadly weapon or with intent to murder, rape, or rob)
Georgia has a stand your ground law (O.C.G.A. § 16-3-23.1). No duty to retreat before using force, including deadly force, if you reasonably believe it is necessary to prevent death or great bodily injury. Castle Doctrine also applies.
Criminal Thresholds & Expungement
Georgia allows record restriction (sealing) for arrests without conviction, dismissed charges, and some first offender cases. True expungement is very limited.
Georgia's First Offender Act allows first-time felony defendants to avoid a conviction on their record if they complete their sentence, but the charge remains visible until restricted.
Immigration Consequences
Georgia has no sanctuary protections. Several counties, including Gwinnett and Hall, have active 287(g) agreements with ICE. The First Offender Act disposition may or may not be considered a "conviction" for immigration purposes — careful legal analysis is required.
For Arab and Muslim community members with immigration concerns, it is critical to have an attorney who understands both criminal defense strategy and immigration consequences. A conviction that seems minor can lead to deportation, denial of naturalization, or loss of visa status.
