Atlanta DUI Arraignment

By Ben Sessions on December 2nd, 2014 in DUI / DWI

If you have an Atlanta DUI pending, DUI arraignment dates are probably a tremendous source of confusion for you. Most DUI cases pending in the City of Atlanta Municipal Court have multiple arraignment dates, and the arraignment date in the Atlanta Municipal Court is not used in the same manner as it is in many other courts. Arraignment dates in the Atlanta Municipal are dates on which pleas of not guilty or guilty may be entered, but those dates also present opportunities to “pre-try” DUI cases. When your lawyer “pre-tries” the case, they discuss with the City Solicitor (the prosecutor) what should happen with the case. Every case is discussed so that the case can (hopefully) be resolved prior to a trial.
