In Georgia DUI cases are treated very seriously. It is important to hire an attorney who is knowledgeable in this very unique area of the law. I have successfully defended many DUI cases for clients throughout the metro Atlanta area.

Taxation affects all of us, however, there are circumstances when a taxpayer runs afoul of the taxing authorities and needs a lifeline. I have saved taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax dispute and collections cases.

DUI/Hit and Run

I'd jus gotten home from being detained/arrested for alleged DUI and a hit and run. I immediately knew I needed a lawyer but I'd never needed a lawyer in my life so I didn't know where to start. I acquired Kevin Linder through the internet. He responded with in an hour (on a Sunday) after I entered m...y inquiry. I explained the details of the incident. He explained my best options and his fee (which in my opinion was quite reasonable). He stayed in contact with me throughout the entire process, even times when it was after hours, which I did from time to time because of nerves and my worrying mind, he never complained. Court date arrived and Kevin was so professional. He got tha charges reduced to Reckless driving and hitting a fixed object (by the way the "fixed object" was a police car..hence my worry). It felt like a miracle. Kevin Linder is genuine. He will be very compassionate to your situation and in my opinion do his BEST to do what's in your best interest.

Rare find - honest & strategic

I hired Kevin in 2014 during a divorce that spread to civil and criminal charges. Kevin was part-therapist, counsel and strategist. He had excellent communication skills, a calm demeanor, and was highly intelligent. His fees were reasonable and he seemed to genuinely care. In fact, of the 5 attor...neys I've retained in my lifetime Kevin was the only one I found to be honest. That says a lot about a person working in the legal profession.

Excellent Strategist - Highly Ethical - Attentive and Personable

Kevin Linder is an attorney you can trust. He is very ethical, has high morals and treats his clients like family. We were in a strange city with no knowledge of the legal system when we had to find an attorney to represent a family member charged with a serious felony. Other attorneys said it wo...uld be highly unlikely we would secure bond due to the type of charge, yet, Kevin prevailed against insurmountable odds. He always returned our calls and answered all of our questions - even on weekends and while he was on holiday in Africa. He spent an inordinate amount of time with us when the charges became more complicated. When we were upset by the broken judicial system, Kevin's steady approach as well as his kind and compassionate manner, calmed our nerves and kept our strategy and approach with prosecutors on an even keel. His method of "attracting more flies with honey" proved to be quite the asset. We saw first-hand why he was chosen as Volunteer Lawyer of the Year. We hired another attorney prior to finding Kevin and were so disappointed with the results. That attorney told us whatever we wanted to hear, yet, dropped our case as soon as she was paid leaving Kevin with a more complicated legal situation. One thing Kevin will never do is tell you want you want to hear - no matter how bad the news. He will give you the facts - straight up. We can share that Kevin did not back down from trial nor did he encourage us to "plea out." He believed in his client's innocence and was willing to fight tooth and nail to exonerate him. He is savvy at putting together a tight legal team together and working under pressure. We highly recommend Kevin Linder. We would not hesitate to hire him for any matter - whether felony or misdemeanor - no matter how small or large. He did an outstanding job for us and we feel blessed to have found him.

Very reliable and persistant

I hired Kevin Linder this year as a criminal defense attorney. I had a case with probable jail time and I came out with no jail time. He follows up and answers his messages. He is knowledgable about the law and is very affordable .

Criminal Manner

Mr. Linder is an excellent attorney. My father hired him to get my charges dismissed. Mr. Linder was hired on a Friday night and that Saturday afternoon he came up to the jail to discuss my case. How many attorneys you know get the job done asap? Not only does he care about his job but his clients w...elfare. Once Mr. Linder heard my side of the story. He got busy making sure my case was resolved. We had a tough case but, Mr. Linder was able to pull through and get my charges dismissed. I am so thankful to have Mr. Linder as my attorney. I would recommend him to anyone that needs any legal manner handled.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
