Exceptional Attorney Who Made a Difficult Process Easy

I highly recommend Mary for anyone in need of legal representation. She took on my under-21 son's case, which involved three citations, and made the entire process as stress-free as possible. Mary was incredibly responsive, always quick to reply to emails and texts, and she answered all of my questio...ns thoroughly. She took the time to explain the court process in great detail, which helped us feel informed and at ease. Mary handled everything from start to finish, and my son did not even have to appear in court. Her professionalism, expertise, and dedication made a difficult situation much easier to navigate. We are very grateful for her help! - Marsha H.

Top Notch Criminal Defense Firm

As stated in the title, Mary and Chase Guerin are both top notch criminal defense attorneys. They were genuinely concerned about my case and the charges that were brought against me. They continuously communicated with me and my family over the months leading to my trial date. They thoroughly combed ...every detail of the events and all documents surrounding my case. All charges brought against me came back with a not guilty verdict. Guerin Law Firm flawlessly argued my case and helped me avoid serving a significant amount of time behind bars. I would highly recommend this law firm. They are worth it when your life is on the line.

DUI case

Mrs. Mary was very helpful, and communicated well. Not only did she defend my case she also took the time to explain each process in order to make sure I understood what was going on especially a since I was a first timer. My case turned out quite well before actually having to go to trial and it was... all due to her persistence and dedication to my case. She really fights for her clients and is worth every penny.

Well

I had a lawyer who was awesome. I knew her because I interned for her as a high school and college student. I got a DUI and retained her as my lawyer. However, things did not work out. And she did not show up for court several times. And in turn, the judge and the solicitor n my case were not happy w...ith me. It was simply because my lawyer wasn't dependable and my BAC was high. However, I was referred to her by Rick Ryzeck. After a few court appearances and the fact that I passed a drug test, Ms. Guerin was able to get my DUI reduced to a reckless driving. I love her persistence and the fact that she was not going to give up on me, even though the solicitor did and was convinced that I should have been convinced of a DUI.

"Mary is my go-to referral for DUI clients in the greater Macon area. She was trained by the pre-eminent Macon DUI defense attorney Bob Daniel and took over his practice when he retired. She is a tough litigator who isn't afraid to take your case to trial. I highly recommend her services."

DUI and DWI lawyer | May 08

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I endorse this lawyer. She worked for me for some 10 years since her 2L year. Our firm was the first and maybe only one in Macon with a nearly 100% practice concentration in DUI defense. Mary learned quickly as I passed on to her 25 years experience defending against field sobriety tests and Georgia breath testing machines. She learned to utilize experts effectively and more importantly, how to win where client could not afford an expert. She won most trials outright, but the huge majority of her cases were reduced before trial, and not that many went to jury. I am quite comfortable leaving my Macon DUI defense legacy to her, as I retire. Mary is the lawyer whom some other Macon lawyers now call during trial for quick answers to questions which should have been addressed in the office pretrial, but who were too busy interviewing new clients to prepare trials for existing ones. At least one of those lawyers appear on the pages of this website."

"Mary is a dedicated advocate. I have highly recommended her to my clients and friends who find themselves facing DUI or other serious traffic charges in the Macon area. Local prosecutors know that when she steps into the courtroom, she is better-prepared than they, and for that reason, she gets great results for her clients."

DUI and DWI lawyer | Apr 24

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Mary was trained by Bob Daniel, one of Georgia's premier DUI defense attorneys for over 35 years. She has demonstrated --- time and again -- that she has a full command of criminal law and procedure, and she has the reputation for being willing to go to trial to wield the "clout" to get great results for her clients in DUI and criminal defense matters in central Georgia. I refer many cases in middle Georgia to Mary Guerin and her ex-DA husband, Chase Guerin."
