How Slider Law Can Defend You
At Slider Law, we provide a personalized defense for every client. Attorney Jason Slider is a member of the National College for DUI Defense, which offers premier advanced-level training in DUI defense to lawyers nationwide. Jason has built his reputation on thorough investigation and strategic advocacy.
We challenge every aspect of the case, from the traffic stop to the breath or blood testing procedures, and more, to determine whether your rights were violated and how best to defend you.
What Georgia Law Says About DUI
Under O.C.G.A. § 40-6-391, it is unlawful for anyone to operate a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or a combination of both to the extent that it is “less safe” to drive.
Georgia also has a per se DUI law, which means that if your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.08% or higher, the law presumes impairment regardless of your actual driving behavior.
Penalties depend on prior convictions and the circumstances of the arrest.
Even a first-time DUI can bring:
- Jail time of 24 hours up to 12 months
- Fines up to $1,000
- Community service requirements
- Probation
- License suspension and reinstatement fees
A second or third DUI increases the severity of the punishment, and a fourth DUI within ten years is treated as a felony, carrying possible prison time and long-term license revocation.
Our firm defends clients in all DUI charges, from a first arrest to repeat offenses, drug DUIs, underage DUIs, and felony DUIs.
You need to act quickly after any DUI arrest, as you have only 30 days to request an Administrative License Hearing (ALS) at the Georgia Department of Driver Services to contest the automatic license suspension. Attorney Jason Slider can represent you at the hearing.

Where Winder DUI Cases Are Handled
If you were arrested within the city limits of Winder, your case will likely be heard in Winder Municipal Court, located on East Athens Street.
DUI cases originating elsewhere in Barrow County are generally heard in Barrow County State Court. Knowing which court will handle your case and how each judge or prosecutor typically approaches DUI matters can be a significant advantage. Our firm has extensive experience with both.
Why Local Representation Matters
DUI defense is not just about knowing the law; it's also about understanding the nuances of the law. It is about knowing the area, the law enforcement agencies involved, and the local court system.
Barrow County officers and Georgia State Patrol troopers frequently conduct sobriety checkpoints throughout the county, especially on major routes such as Highway 316, Highway 211, and Broad Street.
A local defense attorney, such as Jason Slider, who understands how these stops are conducted and what procedures must be followed, can identify errors or constitutional violations that may strengthen your defense.
A DUI charge does not have to define your future. With over 20 years of experience, legal industry awards, trial experience, and time spent as a prosecutor, our Winder DUI attorney at Slider Law is the go-to choice for drivers throughout the area. We offer flat fees, making top-tier representation accessible.
