How can I get a hardship waiver for an ignition interlock?
While in possession of a GA license,I was arrested for DUI in NC. I now reside in NC and have met all requirements to have my NC license reinstated. GA has accepted the DUI courses I took in NC, but has blocked me. GA insists I have an interlock installed and monitored in GA, and pay a $200 reinstatment fee. I don’t want a GA license nor can I move back to GA and drive around for six months with an interlock. GA DMV says I need to get a hardship waiver from the court that convicted me (NC). NC lawyers tell me to contact a GA lawyer to find out how.What do I do?

Hire a lawyer. Listen, you did the crime, now you must face the consequences. Not every situation can lead to you being given a hardship simply because you find it to be annoying or a personal hardship. There are certain conditions that need to be met. You do need to hire a lawyer to represent you, because if you attempt to do this yourself you may wind up doing yourself more harm than good.
