One of the most frequent questions I hear from clients has to do with plea bargains vs. trials. If there is a fundamental flaw with the evidence to be used against you, or if the State's witnesses are weak, the State may not be able to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt and you should consider taking your case to trial.

Guy – I am well known in Cobb County and it would be very embarassing for me if word of my DUI got out. I'm not convinced that I was really guilty, but I would rather just pay the fine and be done with this mess. Is there any way to take care of my Cobb County DUI without having to appear in Court. If not, is there any way to schedule my hearing first thing in the morning or in a Judge's office?

I am 19 and got arrested for DUI. Is the judge going to tell my parents about this?
Answer: That's up to the judge. The law does not require it, but many judges will prefer that you have your parents with you when you finish your case, especially if you are still living at home and depending on your parents for food and shelter, and usually payment of the fine.
