Criminal Defense 40%

My criminal defense practice truly covers 100% of the work that I do, but we consider DUI and traffic citations as a subset of the overall umbrella of "criminal defense". Typical cases include drug and marijuana possession, shoplifting, assault and battery, theft, burglary, sexual offenses, probation violations, family violence. Hiring a qualified criminal defense attorney is the most critical step anyone can take when trying to protect themselves against criminal prosecution in Georgia.

DUI and DWI 40%

DUI defense is a subset of my overall criminal defense practice. Of the hundreds of individual "crimes" that the state of Georgia has laws against, DUI defense is the highest single area of my practice. With the consequences being so dire, and the prosecutions being so highly contested, it is important to be able to competently navigate a DUI defense case.

A+++++++++++ Attorney, Extremely helpful

Lint Johnson is pleasant to deal with and works quickly and effectively. He has extraordinary communication skills and prompt response time. He was early to meetings and court. He turned my nightmare into better than "best case scenario". Highly recommend!!!

Mr. Johnson was a true professional. He throughly explained my rights and represented me very well. I could not have asked for a better experience.

Assisted in a speeding ticket

I retained Attorney Johnson's services for a speeding ticket I received. Thanks to his services, my speeding charge was reduced and as a result, I got no pointed added to my license. He is a personable attorney and tells you what you can except from the get-go. I would definitely recommend.

Perfect Service

Mr. Johnson advised me on what to do prior to ever going to court. I went to court and the courts excepted everything he recommended. I was happy with the verdict and extremely happy with the service he provided.

"I share the same office as Lint. Having observed the way that he handles cases, it is clear that he works extremely hard for his clients. He often logs hours long after others have gone home paying careful attention to each case. The amount of time he dedicates to his cases demonstrates a level of commitment and attention to cases and clients above and beyond that of other attorneys. Having observed his work ethic and attention to detail first hand, I would gladly recommend him to anyone that needs a good traffic and criminal defense attorney."
