license suspension proceedings will occur in the home state of a suspected drunk driver as well.

DMV hearings as well as throughout the entire
DUI process. A lot is at stake during an out of state DUI case.

In these situations, defense attorney Judy Kim will work to help you avoid making a return if it is at all possible.
Out of State DUI Penalties and License Suspension
Georgia law enforcement has no jurisdiction or right to confiscate a driver’s license which was issued in another state. They can, however, suspend or revoke a person’s driving privileges within Georgia and inform his/her home state of the DUI arrest and conviction. The person’s home state will then most likely suspend his/her driver’s license. Additional penalties for an out of state DUI conviction include: jail time, fines, community service, probation and more.
