Savannah Repeat DUI and Felony DUI Attorneys
Bobby Phillips and Mandy Roberts are proven trial lawyers who understand everything that's at stake — your freedom, your license, your employment and your future. We represent anyone in Chatham County and coastal Georgia accused of:
- Repeat DUI — A second drunk driving offense within five years
- Habitual Violator — A third DUI in five years
- Felony DUI — Serious bodily injury in a drunk driving crash
- Vehicular homicide — Causing a fatal accident while driving under the influence
Working to Avoid the Harsh Punishments
In this part of Georgia, judges will give mandatory jail time of 60 to 90 days for a second DUI conviction. Your license will be suspended for 12 months, with no probationary license (work permit), and the court will impose fines and other harsh conditions.
A third DUI conviction is a high and aggravated misdemeanor, with a minimum jail term of 120 days to 12 months, or a felony DUI with a prison term of one to five years. Your license will be revoked and your insurance rates will skyrocket if it is ever reinstated.
If you are convicted of causing serious injury or death in a drunk driving accident, you will serve up to 20 years in prison.
Our lawyers examine the prosecution's case with a fine-toothed comb to find any errors or leverage. We challenge the circumstances of the traffic stop, the roadside sobriety tests, the Breathalyzer results — anything to get the charges dismissed or reduced or to raise defenses at trial.
