Randolph County DUI Defense Lawyer
At Shingler Law, we defend clients across Randolph County who are facing DUI charges. Whether the arrest happened in Cuthbert, Shellman, or on a rural highway, we’re here to protect your license, challenge the stop, and build a defense grounded in real courtroom experience.
Understanding DUI Charges in Randolph County
DUI cases in Randolph County often begin with traffic stops on US-82, GA-41, or within city limits in Cuthbert. We handle first-time offenses, refusals, and DUI charges involving prescription or illegal drugs. Each defense starts with a full review of the arrest, the officer’s conduct, and the state’s evidence.
“Just because the charge says DUI doesn’t mean the state has a case. We find what they missed.”
— William M. Shingler Jr.
License Suspension and the 30-Day Rule
After your arrest, the clock starts ticking. You have 30 days to request a hearing with the Georgia Department of Driver Services or risk automatic license suspension. We prepare the filing, explain your options, and make sure you don’t lose your license before you even step into court.
“The hearing deadline isn’t optional — it’s your only shot to keep driving while your case plays out.”
— Kendall “Micaelah” Gale
How Shingler Law Defends DUI Charges
We analyze the stop, the field sobriety tests, the test results, and every step of the investigation. Then we file motions, subpoena footage, and prepare for trial — even if we settle before then. We know how Randolph County courts operate, and we build our defense accordingly.
“The local process matters. We don’t use a one-size-fits-all defense — because we know better.”
— Shingler Law

Attorney William Shingler is certified in Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) and is a member of the National College for DUI Defense (NCDD). His training matches — and often exceeds — that of the arresting officer.
