Terrell County DUI Defense Lawyer

A DUI charge in Dawson, Bronwood, or anywhere in Terrell County can carry serious penalties — unless you act fast and build the right defense. At Shingler Law, we represent drivers across the county in both State and Superior Court, offering courtroom-tested strategies and fast action to protect your license and your record.

Understanding DUI Charges in Terrell County

DUI arrests in Terrell County commonly occur on Highway 520, within Dawson city limits, or on rural patrol routes. We handle alcohol-based DUI, drug DUI, and refusal cases. We also represent out-of-county drivers who were stopped while passing through.

“You don’t need to explain why you were pulled over — you need a lawyer who knows how to challenge it.”
— Kendall “Micaelah” Gale

License Suspension and the 30-Day Rule

After your arrest, you only have 30 days to stop an automatic license suspension from taking effect. That deadline is separate from your court date and must be addressed with the Georgia Department of Driver Services through an ALS hearing request or interlock application. We handle that for you — immediately.

“If your lawyer doesn’t know what the ALS deadline is, you need a new lawyer.”
— Shingler Law

How Shingler Law Defends DUI Charges

We review the reason for the stop, how the field tests were administered, and whether procedures were followed. We know how DUI cases move through the Dawson courthouse and how to challenge the evidence at every stage. From the first hearing to the final resolution, we stay ten steps ahead.

“What works in Atlanta won’t always work in Terrell County. We fight these cases the way local courts demand.”
— William M. Shingler Jr.

Specialized DUI Training and Credentials

Attorney William Shingler is certified in Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) and is a member of the National College for DUI Defense (NCDD). This gives us a tactical advantage in analyzing — and dismantling — flawed traffic stops and roadside tests.
