Community service

Buckhead DUI Defense FAQ
Will my DUI case be handled in a Buckhead court?
No—Buckhead doesn’t have its own municipal court. DUI arrests in Buckhead are typically handled in the Atlanta Municipal Court or Fulton County State Court, depending on the specifics of your case. Brenda Rothman can help you navigate whichever court your case is assigned to.
Can I lose my license right after a DUI arrest?
Yes. In Georgia, you only have 30 days from the date of your arrest to request an administrative hearing to try to save your license. If you miss that window, your license could be automatically suspended—even before your court date.
I was pulled over after dinner and drinks—should I have refused the breath test?
Refusing a breath test can trigger an automatic license suspension, but every situation is different. Brenda can review the circumstances of your stop and help you understand how your decision affects the case.
What if I’m from out of state but got a DUI in Buckhead?
You’ll still need to address the charge in Georgia. Brenda can often appear in court on your behalf and work to resolve the case with minimal disruption to your life.
Can I get my DUI reduced or dismissed?
Possibly. First-time offenders, low BAC readings, or issues with the traffic stop or testing procedure may create opportunities to reduce or dismiss the charge. Brenda will evaluate all of these angles and fight for the best possible outcome.
