Posted by anonymous | June 10, 2008 | DUI & DWI

Intelligent and Effective

I was facing a DUI charge and Ms. Boston was able to get my charge reduced to reckless driving. I was happy with the outcome. It saved my licence, my freedom and thousands of dollars. I definately would not hesitate to use her services again or refer her to a friend. My name is all I have and in the...se days and times with all the backround checks for jobs and such, I would not want to have anything on my record that would stop me from getting employment. For the record, I do not condone drinking and driving. I made the stupid mistake of taking a new prescription and 4hrs later I drank on an empty stomach. I thought i was ok to drive, until i had a seizure behind the wheel. I was lucky not to hurt anyone else. I would encourge everyone to think twice, but if you find yourself in my situation, Sherry Boston is the 1st person you should call!!!!

"Sherry is talented. She was instrumental in striking down one of our most oppressive DUI laws. Her courtroom demeanor is excellent, and she does not hesitate to take a case to trial. Prosecutors know that she is always ready for trial, and she will bring her "A" game. As a result she has also positioned herself to negotiate excellent deals for her clients"

"I like Sherry. She's personable, likable and nice to look at. However, behind that aura of lady-like good breeding, is a tiger in the courtroom. Sherry gives no quarter when she is protecting the rights of her clients. Few lawyers her age have her experience, talent, knowledge and abililties. As a lawyer she is one of the best. As a person, she is one of the best. I really like her, and I endorse her without reservation."

"Sherry is one of the brightest and most personable attoneys in Georgia. In her relatively short career, her reputation for being prepared and totally committed to her criminal defense clients has set her apart from most of her contemporaries, and has eclipsed attorneys with twice the years of experience. She will always be a leader of the Georgia Bar due to sheer intellect and preseverence. I commend her services without hesitation."
