PRO
also known as Larry Kohn
I only handle criminal cases. My practice focuses on DUI cases. I do my best to treat each client in the same manner that I would want to be treated. I give all clients my cell phone number and will return all phone calls, emails, and texts. I know that a criminal charge can bring a ton of stress to a person. I will do whatever I can to help get the charged person out of this messy part of their lives.

Larry is an amazing attorney. During a difficult time in my life, Larry and Shay were caring and attentive as I navigated my DUI case. They consistently communicated and addressed all of my concerns. Larry was straightforward and never over promised. I truly appreciate his support and professionalism...

Me and my son had a consultation and it was amazing. He made everything so clear and even gave us options. We had never thought about. I would highly recommend him. I would’ve hired him if he could’ve helped us, I would highly recommend him!

Larry has helped me and my family out a ton. Not difficult to endorse results. Committed, responsive, aggressive, proven results no B.S. Couldn’t have said it better myself and that’s exactly what you get here. 5 stars is an understatement.

Larry was very responsive and provided helpful information on a situation I’m navigating with my son.
"Larry has always been a "go to" guy for legal knowledge in the DUI field. He is a frequent lecturer to other lawyers and an excellent source of information. I often ask his help with difficult cases, and he is always able to provide a fresh perspective. Larry is known all over the state as having an excellent motions practice, and highly successful trial record. He is a fighter and a winner. I recommend Larry without hesitation."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I worked with Larry Kohn for several years when I was at Head, Thomas, Webb and Willis. I sat second chair in a difficult battery case with a very vocal "alleged victim" in which Larry convinced the prosecutor to drop the charges after we picked a jury! Larry takes a scholarly and aggressive approach to filing and litigating motions and has a great relationship with the prosecutors who respect the fact that he comes to court prepared to win the case. I would recommend Larry Kohn to any one needing a criminal defense attorney in Georgia for a DUI case, or any state criminal charge."
"Mr. Kohn is an expert in the field of DUI defense and a strong, effective advocate for his clients. He has a proven track record of achieving successful outcomes."
"Larry has all the attributes one would expect from an elite practitioner: his experience is deep, his analytical skills sharp, and he interfaces with litigants, clients, and the Bench with poise and passion. He is a colleague that I trust fully - and I value his input and perspective on all facets of complex litigation. Larry is a leader in our field, who constantly achieves fantastic results for his clients, and I endorse him without hesitation."
"I handled cases against Larry as a prosecutor and he was always one of the most prepared and intelligent lawyers in the courtroom. He knows the in and outs of all the courts in the metro area and uses his skills to get great results for his clients. I endorse Larry Kohn!"
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse Lawrence. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"I know him as probably the best DUI lawyer in the state. He knows all the courts, all the judges, all the judges' tendencies, and all the prosecutors. When I have a DUI case which conflicts with another case, I refer it with the upmost confidence to Larry."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I've known Larry since my days as a prosecutor. He's hardworking, skilled, knowledgeable, and gets good results for his clients. Anyone needing a DUI lawyer would be in good hand. I endorse Larry."
"I endorse Larry Kohn. Larry is one of the top DUI lawyers in the State of Georgia. He has been fighting DUI for over a decade with great success."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ome of the best around. Larry's dedication to his profession and to his clients is unmatched."
"I endorse this lawyer. Lawrence is one of top DUI lawyers in Georgia. Numerous lawyers, including myself, defer to his knowledge and experience in the handling of a DUI case."
"Larry wrote the book on DUI law in Georgia. Whatever the dui question, Larry has the answer. He is also very good with clients. "No BS" is absolutely true. He is a straight shooter!! If you are reading this because you have a pending dui, hire him!!"
"Larry is an attorney of integrity, knowledge and experience. I have come to know Larry as both opposing counsel when I was a prosecutor and fellow attorney as a defense attorney. I have not hesitated recommending his services and would not hesitate to do so in the future."
"Lawrence Kohn once wrote me an email saying "You will get more deals and better results by getting along with people when you can and fighting the tough fight when you need to." Now, I agree wholeheartedly. Sound advice. I also saw him give a lecture on the updated DUI laws at a DUI Defense seminar up in Atlanta. The man has written over 50 appellate briefs for Bubba Head (the big shot GA DUI Attorney.) I back Lawrence Kohn. I endorse this lawyer."
"I know Attorney Kohn. He has earned a national reputation for effectively representing motorists accused of a crime. He has the necessary reputation, knowledge and experience to eliminate or minimize the consequences of the government's accusation. He is a very effective and skilled litigator who has the guts to stand up to the government and their accusations to demand evidence, not simply an accusation. He is highly ethical and trustworthy. I trust him. You should too."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Larry Kohn is a very competent and compassionate lawyer who always fights for his clients. Larry is willing to go the extra distance for his clients often calling them after hours and working to make sure every aspect of his cases have been throughly reviewed. Larry has a keen insight for Georgia DUI law and uses this technical knowledge in the courtroom to his client's advantage."
