If you're a true first offender and that is someone who's never had a DUI in the last ten years under present Georgia law, since July 1st 2008, then you should be eligible for a work permit if you have a DUI on your record. If you plead guilty to a DUI or if you go to trial and are found guilty, the work permit is good for the first 120 days. At which time if you've done certain things like go to driving school and pay a reinstatement fee you can get your full license back. Here's some of the caveats, or the exceptions, you can only do it with the Georgia license.

If you happen to move here and just not had time to switch over to a Georgia license when you were arrested for DUI and you go to court and plead guilty or found guilty on that license you're not going to be eligible for any work permit. You can be stranded for 120 days with nothing to drive on. However if you come to us and come in for your free interview we’ll show you how you can work that so that you can end up with a Georgia license before your case is disposed of, whether it’s by trial or by plea. Hopefully it won’t be by plea. If you go to trial and we give it a shot and try to win for you and you lost, you would still be able to get the work permit.
