As one of the original thirteen Unite States colonies, Georgia has
always played a key role in American history. The rural and productive
farming communities are matched by the bustling city centers. And you
just can't beat the old world charm of towns like Savannah and Atlanta.
For as long as Georgia has been making history, it has also been making
laws to protect its citizens. Most of the Georgia laws are rooted in
common sense but with an eye towards adapting to the modern rigors of
today's society. For instance, the Georgia state legislature recently
passed a law banning teenagers from using a cellphone while driving. On
the following links, you'll find an abundance of information about the
many aspects of Georgian law.
Georgia DUI Laws
All across the country, local law enforcement and state legislatures
have taken the issue of drunk driven very seriously. The goal with
handing out severe punishments is to prevent a repeat offense. In
Georgia, what is the blood alcohol content to be considered legally
drunk?
Are there insurance restrictions for a DUI conviction? How long will
your license be suspended for a first time DUI conviction? Will you
have to face jail time for a DUI? Knowing the penalties might just stop
someone you know from drinking and driving.
Georgia Criminal Laws
If you are arrested for breaking any law in Georgia you'll be charged
with either a felony or a misdemeanor. It doesn't matter if you
vandalized property, caused a disturbance or merely trespassed; the
determination of the charge will be left up to the district attorney's
office.
Do you know the difference between a felony and a misdemeanor as it
applies to breaking the law in Georgia? What are the different levels
of felony crimes? What are the punishments? Being arrested for any
crime is serious business.
Georgia Divorce and Bankruptcy Laws
Not every court case deals with criminal offenses. If you are filing
for divorce or bankruptcy you will also need to navigate your way
through the proper court system. To obtain a Georgia divorce you need
to meet the residency requirements and prove the legal grounds for
divorce. You'll also have to deal with property distribution, alimony
and possibly child custody. Getting information about an impending
divorce can go a long way towards alleviating the stress of the
situation.
Understanding Georgia bankruptcy laws is equally beneficial before
filing the papers. Clearly, this is not a situation you want to enter
into lightly and need to know all your options before proceeding.
Georgia Gun Laws
Many Georgia residents have a proud tradition of gun ownership and
hunting. Guns are often passed down through the generations but that
doesn't mean there aren't restrictions. Who is actually allowed to
possess a gun in Georgia? Can you carry a concealed handgun in Atlanta?
Are gun show purchases legal?

can you get a 2nd degree assault charge which you were found guilty of expunged from your record. I want to join the army and they won't take me cause they say in the army all 2nd degree assault charges are felonies, even though mine was a misdemeandor.

the max sentence for a class A is 365 days. I've been told that they absolutely cannot keep you past that w/o some other charge. is that right? And can they extend that if you violate probation?
