| Q - I have two DUI offenses, and the judge did not tell me I had to do DUI School. Do I have to do it? |
A - A judge, probation officer or even your attorney might not necessarily advise you of
every step you must take in order to get your Georgia Driver's license reinstated. The
best and most accurate source of information is the Department of Driver's Services.
DDS will inform you that you must complete the Risk Reduction Program (DUI School).
In addition, a Multiple DUI Offender (2 in 10 years after July 1st 2008 or 2 in 5 years if
prior to July 1st, 2008), must also complete a Clinical Evaluation and follow all treatment
recommendations prior to applying for a license reinstatement.

| Q- I was arrested and charged with Simple Battery against my partner. Should I start a Family Violence Intervention Program before I go to court? |
A- It is advisable, but ultimately it depends on your assessment of your on case and
what you objectively believe are your chances for a conviction. If there is a strong case
against you, it might be advisable to begin the program before you appear in court since
if convicted you will have to complete the program as part of your sentence. An attorney
can use your willingness to seek help in your favor.
