Atlanta DUI & Traffic Offense Defense
If you’ve been charged with a DUI or serious traffic offense in the Atlanta area, it’s important to understand one thing: you have options—and what you do next matters. A conviction can affect your license, your job, your insurance rates, and your future. That’s why your first call should be to a defense lawyer who knows how to challenge the charges and protect your rights.
Brenda Rothman represents people facing DUI and traffic-related charges across Atlanta, and she brings a sharp, strategic approach to every case she takes.
DUI Charges in Georgia
Driving under the influence (DUI) is one of the most common criminal charges in Georgia—but that doesn’t make it simple. Georgia’s DUI laws are strict, and penalties can include:
Jail time
Heavy fines
Driver’s license suspension
Mandatory DUI classes
Community service
Ignition interlock device installation
Whether this is your first offense or you have a prior DUI on your record, Brenda Rothman will help you understand what you’re up against and how to fight back.
Challenging the Evidence
DUI cases often involve field sobriety tests, breathalyzers, and blood draws—but these tools aren’t always reliable. Brenda carefully reviews every detail of the stop, the arrest, and the testing procedures. She knows what questions to ask:
Was the traffic stop legal?
Were your rights violated?
Was the breath test machine properly calibrated?
Were the officers trained to conduct sobriety tests?
Mistakes happen—and when they do, Brenda works to expose them and push for a dismissal or reduction of the charges.
Other Traffic Offenses Brenda Handles
In addition to DUI charges, Brenda defends clients against a wide range of traffic-related offenses, including:
Reckless driving
Driving on a suspended or revoked license
Hit and run / leaving the scene of an accident
No insurance violations
Super speeder tickets
Driving without a license
Failure to appear in court
Even a simple ticket can lead to bigger problems if not handled properly—especially if it affects your license or causes your insurance premiums to spike. Don’t just pay the fine and hope for the best. Let Brenda Rothman evaluate your case and help you take the smartest path forward.

Common DUI & Traffic Questions
What happens if I get a DUI in Georgia for the first time?
A first-time DUI in Georgia can result in jail time, a license suspension, fines, DUI school, and community service. But every case is different—Brenda Rothman will evaluate the specifics and look for ways to reduce or dismiss the charges.
Will I lose my license if I’m charged with DUI?
Possibly. Georgia has both criminal and administrative license consequences. You may need to act quickly to request an administrative hearing to try to keep your license. Brenda can help guide you through this process and protect your driving privileges.
Should I just pay my traffic ticket and move on?
Not always. Some traffic offenses carry more serious consequences than people realize—like points on your license, increased insurance rates, or even a suspension. It’s often worth speaking with an attorney before you pay anything.
What is Georgia’s “Super Speeder” law?
Drivers ticketed for speeding at 75 mph or more on a two-lane road—or 85 mph or more on any road—can be labeled a “Super Speeder” and face an extra $200 fine on top of the regular ticket. Failure to pay results in license suspension.
Can I get a DUI for prescription drugs or marijuana?
Yes. In Georgia, DUI charges apply to any substance that impairs your ability to drive safely—including legal medications. Brenda can help you build a defense if you’ve been charged with DUI based on something other than alcohol.
I have a commercial driver’s license (CDL). Will a DUI affect it?
Yes. In Georgia, DUI charges apply to any substance that impairs your ability to drive safely—including legal medications. Brenda can help you build a defense if you’ve been charged with DUI based on something other than alcohol.
What if I live out of state and got a ticket or DUI in Georgia?
Yes. In Georgia, DUI charges apply to any substance that impairs your ability to drive safely—including legal medications. Brenda can help you build a defense if you’ve been charged with DUI based on something other than alcohol.
You’ll still need to deal with the charge in Georgia, and it may affect your license in your home state. Brenda can help you resolve the case with as little disruption as possible, and in some cases, she can appear on your behalf.
