Miller County DUI Defense Lawyer
If you’ve been arrested for DUI in Miller County, don’t assume the outcome is already decided. Whether the stop happened in Colquitt, Boykin, or along a rural highway, Shingler Law builds strategic defenses designed to protect your license and minimize your exposure. We represent drivers in both State and Superior Court — and we know how to navigate Miller County’s legal system.
Understanding DUI Charges in Miller County
DUI arrests in Miller County often occur on GA-91, around Colquitt city limits, or following weekend patrols. Our firm defends first-time offenses, refusals, drug-related DUI cases, and high BAC arrests. We review every detail of the stop, the officer’s actions, and the state’s evidence to build leverage early in the case.
“You can’t beat a DUI by hoping it goes away. You beat it by knowing the law and acting fast.”
— William M. Shingler Jr.
License Suspension and the 30-Day Rule
The state of Georgia gives you just 30 days to act after a DUI arrest — or your license may be suspended before your case is even heard. We file ALS appeals, request ignition interlock permits when appropriate, and handle all communication with the Georgia Department of Driver Services to protect your right to drive.
“We’ve saved licenses in Miller County by filing the ALS appeal before the weekend was over.”
— Kendall “Micaelah” Gale
How Shingler Law Defends DUI Charges
We take an aggressive and strategic approach to every DUI case. That means challenging field sobriety test administration, questioning probable cause for the stop, reviewing officer reports, and using courtroom motions to shape the case from day one. Whether it’s in State or Superior Court, we prepare to win.
“A DUI defense should start before arraignment — not the night before trial.”
— Shingler Law
