Michaela Rene Devine

I'm Michaela Devine, a criminal defense attorney and co-founder of MM Criminal Defense in Marietta, Georgia. We're a women-led, former-prosecutor defense team, and I spent the first years of my career on the other side of the courtroom — prosecuting cases in Cherokee, Cobb, and Paulding counties, from traffic and DUI to complex drug and gang matters.
That's exactly why I can help you now. I know how the State builds a case, what a prosecutor is looking for, and where these cases tend to fall apart — because I used to be the one building them. I bring that same insight to the defense side every day.
Today I defend people facing criminal charges, DUI, dependency, and juvenile matters across the greater Atlanta metro. DUI defense is a particular passion of mine, and I take the time to walk clients through every deadline and option in plain English — including the 30-day window to protect your license after a DUI arrest.
Most people who call me are scared and unsure of what happens next. My job is to take that weight off your shoulders: answer your questions honestly, explain where you stand, and fight for the best outcome your case allows. If you're facing charges in Cobb, Cherokee, Paulding, or anywhere in the metro, I'd be glad to talk it through in a free, confidential consultation.
