 As a sole practitioner of the law in Canton,
Georgia, Michael Vereen accepts a variety of civil
and criminal cases. Michael Vereen has
represented many individuals charged with
driving under the influence (DUI).
In the state of Georgia, penalties for DUI depend
on the driver's age and the number of similar
previous convictions. For drivers under the age of
21 who have committed their first offense,
penalties include a required license suspension for
six month or one year, payment of a $210 fee, and
completion of an alcohol or drug program at their
own expense.
 Drivers over 21 who receive a first DUI
conviction must submit to a one-year license
suspension, though a work or school permit
may be attained and reinstatement may be
possible after four months. Drivers must also
complete 40 hours of community service and
pay a fine. The conviction also carries a
minimum one-day incarceration.
