At the law office of Richard A. Wilkes, Attorney at Law, we have more than a decade of experience defending people like you in a variety of cases, including:

• Drug charges
• DUI/DWI
• Probation violations
• Misdemeanors
• Felonies

Protect Your Freedom

When you are accused of a crime, your first priority is trying to stay out of jail. But the long-term consequences of a conviction go beyond jail time.

For example, if you are convicted of a first DUI/DWI offense, your driver’s license will be suspended for several months. A conviction on a second offense will result in a 1 year license suspension. After that, you will be forced to have an ignition interlock device installed on your car for 6 months, at your own expense. In a state as automobile-dependent as Georgia, these penalties can seriously limit your ability to earn a living or go about your life as you did before.

What’s more, a conviction on your record — especially if it involves a felony — will follow you around for years, interfering with your ability to find employment or housing.

When the potential penalties are this serious, it’s important to seek out the help of an attorney with the skill and qualifications to help and the experience and wisdom to offer candid and honest legal advice.
