no friend in court

I had a DUI arrest. There was no breathalyzer because the arresting officer said "You can take the test but either way you are going to jail' I figured I would wit to be tested later.I had no arrests on my record. Ray said it was a slam dunk and he could get me out of it. because of procedural pro...blems in the report. I told him that there were accuracy problems in the report and I wanted the body cam or car cam. He didn't seem to pay attention to anything I said but told me we would have some meetings to discuss strategy. Those meetings never happened and he didn't answer phone calls , for 2 years I got summons to appear in court and I had to call his office to figure out if I had to appear.One time they told me to appear and I wasted 3 hours before I was told that the case had been transferred to state court. 2 years later we had some court appearances and he assured me we were going to try this case. But then he changed his tune and said I should change my plea to reckless driving which I think has almost all the punishment of DUI. I told him we should fight it pointed out that the police report had inconsistencies so besides the city loosing the video cams what was said made no sense.I'm sure he never read that he was running around the courthouse with other cases. He came back with a deal that he claimed only involved limited community service and would not affect my insurance. It involved a nolo plea The judge rejected the plea deal saying she didn't accept nolo and Ray says "better, I can get you a first offender acceptation" and told me that Dui school was not that big a deal and he could send me a certificate for evaluation" I stupidly agreed not to fight it and got a lecture from the judge about my alcohol problem ( I have never had an accident). I soon learned that the punishment that I received was almost exactly what you get with a DUI guilty plea. I sent Ray a E-mail to tell him I was going to right a negative report and he sent back a E-mail within an hour (he normally would respond in 2 or 3 days) and said that he reduced the charge to reckless driving and had saved me from DUI conviction punishments. But all the the punishments he said he saved me from I got. I was naive I didn't do my homework and i was nervous in court and I trusted Ray. Don't trust Ray he is not your friend in court. If anybody wants to check this out I will keep all my records for a yer or 2.

Finance Professional

Ray was great from the beginning. I was freaking out about my situation (DUI) but he explained the situation to me and put me at great ease. He even allowed me to set up a payment plan to pay for the bills for his services. Throughout the entire court process he kept me updated and informed. He beat ...my case with a perfect result. I highly recommend him!

Absolutely Amazing

He deserves even more than excellent. He's so patient and understanding. I had a nasty DUI situation and he showed me every option and wen't over what would be the best and gave me every recommendation. Him and his staff were there to answer every question no matter what time of day. He was beyond ex...cellent. I couldn't ask for a better turn out and situation. He handled everything with care and treated me with the utmost respect. Ray and his entire team are fantastic. Take it from a female who was apprehensive at first I'm so glad I called and hired him. He's the best you can get!

If you go somewhere else you will be sorry

Ray and his team have been by far the best experience with an attorney and its firm. From day 1 Ray was upfront on expectations and our approach to a DUI charge in Atlanta. I spoke with several attorneys in the Atlanta area and when I Contact Ray he took time out his weekend to meet with me on Saturd...ay morning to go over the consultation. After speaking with him for only a few minutes I knew he would do his best to provide the best outcome possible for my case. I hired Ray on the spot and happy to say my case was dismissed yesterday. if you need legal assistance you will not find a better lawyer and firm to represent all your needs and keep you informed and discuss your best options every step of the way. if you choose another lawyer you will be sadly misrepresented. Thank you Ray and your staff for the excellent experience which truly put me at easy during this stressful time.

Incredible DUI/DWI Lawyer

Ray and his team did an incredible job with my case. Ray was well versed with the many intricacies of the legal system in both Atlanta City Court and also Fulton County Court. His confidence throughout the entire case was always very reassuring and he conducted himself professionally at all times. H...e provided me with his email and cell phone up front and I was able to communicate directly with him via text/phone/email at all times. Once in court, Ray did an incredible job getting me the best possible outcome for my case - I could not be happier. I was very impressed with how he handled my case and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DUI/DWI lawyer.

Criminal defense lawyer | Jan 18

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Ray and I were in law school at Emory together. I have referred over 50 cases through the past 25 years to Ray. These referred clients often take the time to call me and thank me for the referral to Ray. Ray is tough, fair, timely and well respected by criminal defense lawyers, judges and prosecutors alike. Ray does not hesitate to go to trial but more often than not is able to persuade the prosecutor or judge of a resolution that does not involve incarceration yet addresses the underlying issues, i.e., drug or alcohol addiction. I have personally see Ray work "miracles" for people who would be in prison for a minimum of 3 years. In exchange, Ray insists that these people take advantage of the "gift" they were given by the Courts and insist that they complete treatment - something that Judges in Georgia take note of. I send all of my clients and friends who require assistance on a criminal matter to Ray Giudice without hesitation."
