Save yourself $6000

This was my very FIRST time ever being charged for a DUI and I thought by hiring a lawyer who lives in Brookhaven that my case would have a better chance at being resolved in Brookhaven upon advisement with Larry Kohn and William Head and especially since I was arrested prior to being asked to take a... breathelizer test and I also asked what my rights were and was not read the implied consent rights along with other errors during my proceedings but anyway after my court hearing and getting convicted of improper stopping for the VERY FIRST TIME EVER in my life of anything (my first conviction ever in my life in other words) the following is the list of stipulations my hard earned $6000 that Larry charged won me. 1) 120 hours of community service, 2) 3 $15 random alcohol/drug testing, 3) 12 months of probation with no early termination, 4) a $95 alcohol evaluation, 5) a $355 driving course that is 20 hours long, 6) a $1000 fine, and 7) $132 in probation fees reporting that will cause me to be unable to work those days until 3 random passed drug/alcohol tests are passed. So this caused my very first probation officer to ask if I had multiple DUI convictions and why didn't I get a lawyer to their shock and surprise that I did have one that charged me $6000 because people who are actually convicted of their 1st DUI only get a maximum of 20-40 hours community service and most get an early termination of their probation after paying their fines but I was given 120 hours and no early termination at all for 12 months of probation for my very first conviction in my life which they are calling improper stopping so my advise would be to save your $6000 and get reckless driving for your first time which results in the normal stipulations instead of wasting your money only to get the most egregious punishment ever!!

Without going into the difficult facts, so I don't disclose client confidences, this charge of DUI was dismissed to an improper stopping charge. Based on the video the implied consent was read and there was an incredibly strong probability that this person would have been convicted by a judge or jury and lost their license for 12 months with NO permit. This review shows that not all clients are happy with their results and shows that my reviews are legitimate, not ones that I made up or hired a company to write for me. Some lawyers post reviews that are not real. I do not. I am sorry that I could not meet this person's expectations, but I seriously doubt that anything short of a dismissal would satisfy them. In Metro Atlanta if a DUI is amended to a different charge, more community service, higher fines, and possibly jail time are common. In court, this person was satisfied with the outcome and chose to accept this negotiation. I would advise every other client that I have ever represented to strongly consider this incredibly good deal. I am confident that there was NO better result possible. I have not found one lawyer who would have advised their client to potentially fight a losing DUI case rather than accept this plea to a simple traffic offense with 120 hours of community service, DUI school, alcohol, and drug evaluation, 3 drug screens, probation that becomes non-reporting after 6 months and $1000 fine. I look at this result as nothing less than incredible, and I would bet that if you were charged with a tough DUI case and this were offered, you would accept this as fast as you could. Sometimes expectations can never be met.

KEEP LOOKING

Larry Is not a good choice. First off after paying the retainer Its harder to get ahold of him I asked him to get the court case put off for as long as he could to give me time to do things he asked for He then told me that wasn't possible But then he had something come up and was able to change... the court date (so he can do it when it works for him) I felt like the whole court case was rushed through Larry just got me in and out as fast as he could I truly think you should look else where . Too many lawyers out there find one that will work for you not one that just wants your money My case VGCSA My outcome What the DA asked for not one dime less( I would have got the same going in with no lawyer) Not saying don't get a lawyer just don't get Larry Kohn

As I thought more about the case, the State asked the Judge to sentence my client to jail. However, my client wrote this email from his house and not a jail cell. So, I believe I was able to help him, but no lawyer can win every case.
