Marko Burgar is one of the finest criminal defense/DUI lawyers in the State of Georgia. He is an excellent trial attorney who fights for his clients. Additionally, he has a true appreciation of the practice of law. I had the pleasure of working with Marko in the City Court of Atlanta Office of the Solicitor General. He is one of the smartest attorneys that I have ever met and I strongly endorse his work.
Phillip Kimbrell, DUI and DWI Attorney on Mar 2, 2010
Relationship: Co-worker
I have had the privilege of working with Marko for many years now, first in the prosecutor's office and now in private practice. Marko is at the top of the list in knowing DUI law. He 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 not only prepared but prepared to win the case. He is relentless when pursuing his point with the Court yet tactful in doing so. Moreover, Marko has the ability to connect and relate with the jury; which at the end of the day is what a trial attorney must do. I highly recommend Marko for anyone who is facing a DUI or criminal prosecution.
