Do not hire Attorney David Jones for a DUI

The absolute WORST!!!! attorney in Georgia. I only got to meet him when I was consulting with different attorneys to determine who I would hire. Throughout my entire DUI case he never showed up to court for any of my case hearings. The very first time I had to go to court he did not show up -and d...id not answer my calls until TWO hours later. I had to ask for a continuance. The next appearance at court his assistant told me that morning he would be sending an attorney who worked with him who was also LATE to court. Attorney Jones missed several deadlines related to my case and pretty much did the bare minimum. He refused to negotiate with the D.A. to get my DUI reduced to reckless driving. At my final court hearing he did not show up once again and he sent a his friend who was an attorney, who I had never met are spoke with to trial with me. Let's just say I could have saved myself the money I paid him and represented myself and got a better deal. He is really cheap but you pay for what you get and I learned the hard way. Pay the extra money a get a good attorney.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
