The GA DUI defense lawyers in Atlanta at Hawkins DUI Law Firm,   Attorney Michael M. Hawkins & Attorney Matthew Kilgo, are committed to protecting more than just the rights of those accused of DUI in Georgia.  We work to protect their careers, their relationships, and their reputations.  We know what it takes to make the difference in your DUI defense in Georgia.  

By limiting the cases that we accept for representation, and by limiting the scope of our practice to contested DUI cases only, we are able to do more than other DUI defense lawyers in investigating the charges, and in attacking the evidence. Our lawyers have excellent working relationships with prosecutors, judges, and law enforcement.  

How Important is the Reputation of my GA DUI Defense Lawyer?

 It is extremly important to consider reputation when hiring a GA DUI defense lawyer.  Mr. Hawkins encourages any potential client to meet with two or three Georgia DUI lawyers before making a final decision.  Ask any lawyer if he is Board Certified in DUI Defense.  You will find that there are only 4 in the State of Georgia, only 3 lawyers Board Certified in DUI Defense in metro Atlanta, only 2 who have actually sat for and passed the examination, and 1 of them is Attorney Michael Hawkins. 

Hawkins has been named eight times to Super Lawyers in Atlanta Magazine. He is Board Certified in DUI Defense by the National College for DUI Defense, is AV-rated by Martindale-Hubbell (highest in legal ability and ethics), has been named to Best Lawyers in Georgia and Best Lawyers in America.  He is rated as a Superb (10.0 out of 10.) Lawyer by AVVO, and is the only DUI defense lawyer in Atlanta to be named to both Best Lawyers in America and honored by In Celebration of Legal Excellence.

Perhaps the most significant of these is that he has been Board Certified in DUI Defense for 10 years, as recognized by the American Bar Association, by the National College for DUI Defense. Indeed, Mr. Hawkins is the Committee Chairman of the Board Certification Committee on the Board of Regents for the National College for DUI Defense.
