    I am DUI defense trial attorney. In the past, I made DUI cases as a law enforcement officer and prosecuted DUI jury trials under Georgia's Third-year Practice Act before graduating from law school. Today I maintain the state & national advanced certifications to ensure I keep up with changes in DUI enforcement. This insight gives me the edge I need in both pre-trial negotiations, motions and at trial.

We are a DUI defense law firm.  We represent drivers charged with DUI. DUI defense is one of the most complex areas of law.  Most DUI cases involve scientific evidence and questions of constitutional law.  It can be a mistake to assume you have no defense to a DUI arrest and plead guilty before speaking with an attorney.  Many DUI cases can be dismissed or reduced even before trial with the help of a knowledgeable DUI defense attorney.  In other cases, a jury trial may be your best and sometimes only option to beat a DUI.  In all cases, your attorney should prepare the case for trial to ensure the best possible outcome.

You should meet with several attorneys.  It is important you have confidence in the knowledge, skill and experience of the attorney you choose to represent you.  Keep in mind that cost, while important, should not be the determinative factor in hiring an attorney.  The cheapest attorney is usually not the least expensive attorney in the long run.

 

During your consultation, you should ask the following questions: 

 

Have you tried DUI jury trials before this court?

Often attorneys take cases in courts they are unfamiliar with or in areas of law that they have little or no experience in.  A defense attorney unfamilar with a perticular court or area of law is at a disadvantage and that may affect the outcome in your case.  The defense attorney may not know of specific defenses applicable to your facts, or know about specific procedures unique to the judge who is hearing your case.  Your defense will be stronger if the prosecutor and the judge already know and respect your attorney.

 

What can you tell me about the arresting officer?

…the judge? …the prosecutor?

Knowing the “players” in your case will significantly increases the chance of beating a DUI.  An attorney who knows everyone involved can better gage what issues will be determinative and more accurately predict the outcome. 

 

Have you ever won a DUI case similar to mine?

Ask about case specifics such as, if you gave a breath sample, ask if the attorney has won a breath test case?  If you have a DUI drugs case with blood test results, ask if the attorney has won a DUI drugs case with blood test results.  It is important your attorney know what it takes to win a case with your particular issues.  Be sure to ask for the court and court case number of any case cited as an example so you can confirm what you have been told.

 

What practice areas does your law firm handle?

To be fair, an attorney does not have to “just” practice DUI defense to be a strong DUI defense attorney, but if a large percentage of the attorney’s practice is not devoted to DUI defense, it is unlikely the attorney has the DUI specific knowledge, skill and experience necessary to win your case.

 

Will you be the attorney actually representing me in court?

Bait and switch is never a good thing!  Not when buying a product or retaining professional services.  You are selecting an attorney based upon your impressions during the consultation.  Make sure you are retaining the attorney who impressed you and not someone you’ll meet for the first time when they introduce themselves to you in the courtroom.

 

What DUI specific training do you have?

Ask the attorney to explain the standardized field sobriety evaluations, the Intoxilyzer 9000, the H.P. Gas Chromatograph (if a blood test is involved), the metabolism of alcohol in the human body, the elements of the offense(s) you are charged with, and the case law involved in the defenses available to you.  While you’re at it, consider asking why the attorney represents driver’s accused of DUI.

 

How do you expect to win my case?

Before you retain counsel, you should know how the attorney expects to win or resolve your case.  You should have a very clear idea of the issues, risks and likelihood of success.  If you were hiring a contractor to repair your home or a mechanic to fix your car, you would expect no less.  A DUI conviction is a serious matter.  Don’t be less careful hiring your attorney than you would be in choosing a mechanic or contractor.

A lawyer that is going to give you the right advise!!
Lance Tyler is one of the most reasonable and reliable lawyers that I have ever worked with! You can tell by speaking with Lance that his number one priority is the reputation and livelihood of the people he works with. I can tell you that if you are looking for a lawyer who has dedicated his life and profession to helping others… Lance Tyler, is the man for you! He was recommended to me from a friend, and I am very glad that I have had the pleasure and benefit of having his professional skills on my side in this long stressful situation! He helped me in advising me of the route and path that was going to help me solve the situation as well as allow me to keep my drivers license. This was the most important thing to me due to the fact that I drive a lot for work, and without my license I wouldn’t have a job! THANK YOU SO MUCH LANCE!!

Worth Every Penny
I contacted Lance after speaking to a few Lawyers on Avvo who shall remain nameless. My first impression was that he had a genuine concern and was eager to help me. His responses were always quick unless he was in court and even then he would have one of his associates Christina or Maggie speak with me. They were quite lovely as well. I never felt he didn't have my best interest at heart or wasn't actively doing his best to resolve my case. I had an outstanding warrant on a DUI that dated back 15+ years ago. Lance was the only lawyer who didn't tell me I either had to pay $4500, turn myself in, or wait the better part of a year to get it resolved. I told him that I was applying for a job that I would need an MMC, and needed the case to be closed to get it. And a couple months later, he did just as he promised. Now, thanks to Lance, in a just few short weeks I will be living the dream working on a cruise ship in Hawaii! There will be other lawyers that give you a grim outlook and say that, "Every other lawyer will say the same thing." Or, say that they're right and anyone else is just "telling you what you want to hear for your business." And if you have heard that I suggest you hang up the phone and call Lance. He will get the job done! Thank you so much Lance, Christina and Maggie, I truly appreciate all you have done to help me.

The Best Decision I ever made!
My son was in a terrible legal situation. I didn’t know where to turn for help. I received Lance’s mail out and knew he was the attorney for us. My son and I met with Lance and we immediately felt confident in his ability to win my son’s case. Lance took my son’s case to trial and got a mistrial the first time and an acquittal the second. He was so incredible in the court room that even the jurors were blown away by his knowledge and courtroom presence. I would recommend Lance to anyone. He is really caring and has a great staff too!

Mr. Tyler saved my life
I would recommend Mr. Tyler, to anyone that has not only had or dealing with a DUI case but for any traffic law advice. Mr. Tyler and staff handled my case as professionals and even assisted me with other issues years after my case. Mr. Tyler made it easier to focus on everyday issues, such as family, my military past and maintain a normal life while my case was being handled. My life has been more manageable since hiring Mr. Tyler, in 2013 and returning again in 2017 for assistance. I would definitely send friends or family to Mr. Tyler for any traffic violations. Thanks Larry

Tyler Law Firm Gets the Job Done!
I am so grateful for the outcome that Lance and his team were able to get for me. Especially considering that my BAC was .094 from a blood test. I thought my case was over but Lance was able get my DUI charge reduced to Reckless Driving. I really appreciate his honesty when he considered that strengths and weaknesses of my case. Lance is very professional and he's great with negotiations. I am also super grateful for Christina and Maggie. They kept me informed and calm throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend Tyler Law Firm to friends and family.

A Class of Excellence
Lance used his previous experiences as a police officer and Attorney to think outside the box.He found a flaw in a 43 years old law and used it to our advantage.He said it was something he had been thinking about for a long time.Good to hire a Lawyer who has his mind on your case more than when he meets you at the courtroom. Thanks Lance for having my back.

Life Saver
This lawyer is straight up and will not sugar coat anything. He treats you as if you are family. Meaning he doesn't want no one to mess over you. Be as straight with him as he will with you, but don't give him crap, an attitude or your backside to kiss, he will drop you. Let him do what he is educated to do and who ever else you believe in up above (The most high one) in there hands. Straight to the point my life was about to be stripped away with no hesitation lawyers was researched and he had the highest respect out of all researched and met with. Not only down to earth but he can relate to your situation. If I had to make a commercial or advertise his company I would not just so you can hire him it's because I hired him and know first hand he won't play the radio. All his staff and company are the nicest of all I met with I tell you. Either suffer and don't try at all. Or hire him and see for yourself. Cause I'm good I'm at home getting for work in the morning.... you decide, the choice is yours.... PEACE... Thank you Mr. Tyler

Response from Lance Tyler December 7, 2016
At first the State thought this was a strong DUI case - private property accident, odor of alcohol, bloodshot eyes, admission of drinking "a couple of beers," SFSE's (field sobriety evaluations), and a .212 BAC (breath test result). My client and I worked together to show the accident was the other driver's fault, my client wasn't properly medically qualified by the officer for the fields, and the .212 BAC test result was suppressed by the court because it was improperly obtained. In the end, to avoid the State running up costs on appeal, my client entered a plea of nolo (no contest) to reckless driving with no fine and probation to become non-reporting after six months and the DUI was dismissed. My client needed and deserved to catch a break on this case, and I'm very pleased that we were able to get the result he needed.

Best Gwinnett DUI Lawyer!!!
I didn't retain Lance because he met with me for hours to tell me how I could resolve my case without needing to retain an attorney at all! I had met with two others and they both wanted me to pay thousands for what Lance gave me for free! He knows absolutely everything about the law and is just a cool guy to talk to! I am glad I didn't need him, but I would recommend him highly to any of my friends and family! Thank you, Lance!

Very satisfied & releived.
I was charged with a DUI about a year & a half ago. After about a couple of weeks of calling around for an attorney to assist me & being rejected because of my income & at the moment being unemployed, Lance was very understanding & gave me the opportunity with him. His assistant Maggie, extremely professional & always willing to help or answer any questions without any trouble. Lance reduced my charge to a reckless driving. Only 6 months reported probation, reduced my fine from roughly $13,000 to $1000, dismissed community service, jail time, walked out with my license in my wallet & most importantly a peace of mind. All in all was extremely satisfied with his work & would most definitely recommend him to anyone in need.

LANCE IS THE MAN!!!
I got a DUI about 2 years ago and called around to a few places, but Lance was the first attorney who I actually got to speak with on the phone! All of the other offices gave me the run around and wanted me to come in, but wouldn't let me speak to an attorney! From the moment I shook his hand, I knew Lance was the guy for the job! He kept me updated on the status of my case every step of the way, walked me through the various possible outcomes, and I was overall extremely satisfied with the result! Thank you Lance from the bottom of my heart! I can't recommend him highly enough!!!

I had a nightmare case involving 2 DUI's and a charge for driving on a suspended license. Lance was so knowledgeable and supportive throughout the court process. He kept me calm and informed at all times. He and his entire staff were extremely courteous and professional. He got me a much better outcome than I believe anyone else could have gotten for me. His effort and level of commitment literally saved my career. I very highly recommend the Tyler Law Firm.

Great experience
From my initial consultation to the end of my case, Tyler Law Firm kept my mind at ease. Every question that I had as well as every concern that I had was met with honesty and compassion. Maggie and Christina were very professional by answering every email and communicating with me about every court date and anything else I needed. By being persistant and relentless, Lance was able to reduce my DUI to a reckless driving charge with minimal fines and community service hours, which was the goal we had in mind from our initial consultation. I would recommend Lance to anyone and everyone. The entire firm gets a five star rating from me.

Lance Tyler is an amazing DUI & DWI lawyer
Words cannot describe how amazing Lance Tyler is. I had a DUI arrest in Brookhaven and I didn't know what to do. I was able to transfer the case to DeKalb, since that was the jail were I was detained. After bonding out, I selected Lance Tyler. After much due diligence, Lance Tyler was able to get me a proper plea bargain, and have the DUI removed.

DUI Dismissed
I was arrested for an alleged DUI for prescription drugs. I cooperated with the authorities but that did not help my case. I received a flyer from Mr. Tyler. Since I lived out of state, I needed someone who could represent me without having me in the area. Mr. Tyler quickly agreed to take my case. He communicated with me via phone and email through every step of the process. He is very knowledgeable in the area of DUI's and knew exactly what to do to get my case dismissed. Even though the court process is slow, Mr. Tyler filed every document on time and continued to pursue my innocence. Months later, I appeared in court one time. A few days later Mr. Tyler called me and told me my case was dismissed based on the facts he presented to the prosecution. If anyone needs a DUI attorney, I would strongly recommend Mr. Tyler. He is friendly, courteous, understanding to your needs, and mostly a very trusted man with dynamic ethical practices. Mr. Tyler is the perfect attorney for anyone who is not very familiar with the laws. He explained every facet of the law and the possible outcomes. I thank Mr. Tyler for his excellent work, being such an honorable man, and mostly for getting my case dismissed.

Best choice I ever made!!!!!!
After speaking with several lawyers to handle my case, a colleague of mine recommended Mr. Lance Tyler. I had never had the need for a lawyer in the past, so speaking to them was daunting, exhausting, nerve wrecking and I felt lost. I did not even know what to expect, what a fair price for my case was and had no knowledge of the laws or the court system.... I was lost. When I talked to Lance on the phone, I immediately felt at ease, and he also was by far the most honest, non judgmental of any attorney I had spoken to so far. He is a humbled individual with a great handle of the law, he instilled confidence and integrity from the first minute I met him. Upon meeting him in person, I was greeted by his staff (Office Manager Kathy) they took care of my case in a timely manner and very professionally, the communication was the best and at no moment during the proceedings did I lose confidence in his firm. He is worth every dollar and I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case. He is a fierce lawyer with incredible rapport with the judge, law enforcement and even other lawyers. He has become my family lawyer and I will use his services for any future legal matters and recommend him highly to my friends and family. Finally, Lance Tyler will go the distance with whatever the case you present to him, he will stand for you and he has the experience and a law enforcement background to accomplish this task. He is a fierce one . Thank you again Lance and God bless you! AUM.

Lance is by far my #1 Lawyer
As a terrified 24 year old female, facing a 2nd DUI conviction was quite a frightening predicament I had found myself in. Lance was non-judgmental and made me feel very comfortable talking to him when everyone else around me was being subjective. He explained both the pro's and con's of fighting it and didn't pressure me into either decision but fully supported me when I chose to fight. He was communicative and his staff is above and beyond (Kathy, especially). It took a few months, but all the while he was reassuring that we had a good case, and he did get my DUI dropped to reckless. I appreciate everything Lance and his team did for me and while I hope to never have to use Lance again, I would recommend him to any of my friends.

Lance is a uniquely qualified DUI attorney. He served as an officer of the law for many years, and knows the ins and outs of DUI roadsides which will help in your defense. Additionally, Lance is extremely helpful, responsive, and knowledgeable. I could always get through to Lance whenever I needed to ask him a question. I was concerned that a misdemeanor conviction would have significant consequences for my employment and travel capabilities. Ultimately, Lance negotiated for the serious charges to be dropped and I only faced a moving violation. I highly recommend Lance for your metro Atlanta DUI.

He knows police procedure better than the actual police. He knows the law better than the prosecutors. Anyone who wants an honest lawyer who is not afraid to fight on their behalf should hire Lance.
