About Melanie Ellwanger, Attorney at Law

Melanie Ellwanger, Attorney at Law - Dedicated to DUI Defense

If you're confronting a DUI charge in Georgia, the urgency of securing an experienced DUI attorney cannot be overstated. DUI cases in Georgia involve not just criminal law but also administrative law considerations.

Georgia's DUI laws, as outlined in O.C.G.A. 40-6-391, encompass driving with an alcohol concentration of .08 grams or more within three hours of operating a vehicle. It's vital to recognize that impairment isn't limited to alcohol alone; it extends to any substance that hampers your ability to drive, including substances like glue, aerosols, or other toxic vapors.

A DUI conviction can lead to the revocation of your driving privileges, mandatory installation of an interlock device in your vehicle, drug and alcohol assessments, obligatory treatment, financial penalties, and even potential imprisonment.

Georgia's DUI regulations are strict, and the penalties can be severe. You require an attorney with a track record of defending DUI cases, capable of advocating for you effectively from the outset. Your attorney should possess the expertise to identify and challenge evidence, potentially leading to a reduced charge or case dismissal.

Attorney Melanie Ellwanger specializes exclusively in DUI defense in Georgia. Her unwavering commitment to your case and her deep understanding of DUI and Criminal Law make her the advocate you need. Melanie will provide you with a clear explanation of your legal rights and valuable guidance on your way forward. Don't hesitate to contact her today for a consultation.

Hired Attorney Melanie Ellwanger

I hired this attorney a few years ago to handle my DUI case, and unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. From the start, communication was poor, and I often felt left in the dark about what was happening with my case. Instead of guiding me through the process and fighting for the best outcome, I felt like I was just another file on their desk. There was little effort to explain my options, and I didn’t receive the level of representation I expected when hiring a professional. In the end, I don’t believe this lawyer truly advocated for me, and I was left with the sense that my case could have been handled much better. I would not recommend this attorney to anyone looking for strong, reliable representation in a DUI matter.
