Mickey has been practicing DUI defense longer than anyone in Gwinnett County and fights hard for his clients. He is well liked by not only his peers in the criminal defense community, but prosecutors and judges as well. I highly endrose him.

Mickey Roberts is one of the most "connected" lawyers in Metro Atlanta. Mickey is known as a tough adversary in the court room by all prosecutors. Mickey has tried over 100 cases to verdict and has the respect of all Judges in this State. Mickey is able to get more dismissals than any other lawyer in metro Atlanta. If you want a dismissal or Not Guilty verdict and if you can afford him (worth it) he is the lawyer for you. gus mcdonald

Mickey Roberts is my idol. I wish that I could grow up and be him. He is a successful lawyer with a wonderful family, has a low golf handicap, and can run circles around prosecutors in the defense of DUI cases. He is a former judge, and knows all there is to know about defending DUI cases in Gwinnett County especially, but in Georgia also. I don't think anyone can go wrong with Mickey handling the case.
