Proper Georgia Clinical Alcohol Evaluation

Back to Video Library

Since every case in Georgia now requires a clinical evaluation you don't know what's going to be recommended by the alcohol counselor you go to. If you talk to an experienced DUI attorney he or she can show you where you should call and give you a list of people who are good at this and who are in court every day. You don't want to deal with a counselor who may not be approved by the state. You don't want to deal with a counselor who only does this once in awhile. You don't want to deal with a counselor that doesn't know all the judges and what the judges expect.

If you're a repeat offender you can just about bet your going to have to do seventeen weeks or more of treatment and those treatment sessions are usually three hours a week or more.Sometimes those treatment sessions go half a year or full year depending on your history and the profile they get from testing you when you first come in. You need to get started on this. You don't need to wait. Number one no matter what the outcome of the case if you have that kind of problem you need to deal with it.

You don’t want to be standing in front of the judge and when the judge says, “When did you first go to the counselor? Your arrest was a year and a half ago”. And you say, “Well I started last week”. You might as well not go at all. That will just anger the judge that you haven't thought enough of the problem except to go right on the verge of trial in order to not get his anger up. But you are going to do just the opposite by waiting until the last minute.
