Professional, honest, helpful, considerate
Mr. Sereebutra and his firm represented me when I was facing serious criminal charges for destruction of property. I had never faced criminal charges before, but in a moment of anger I inflicted damage upon a vehicle which was illegally parked and blocking access for my paralyzed wife to get her wheelchair into our side-entry van. I didn't cause much damage, but law enforcement determined it was enough damage to warrant a felony charge. I was terrified and feared that I had ruined my life in that one moment. My wife contacted Theo while I was being held in police custody and he agreed to represent me. After posting bail I had a lot of questions about the legal process and what to expect. Mr. Sereebutra, as well as Mr. Cordell and Ms. Lester, patiently and thoroughly answered all of my questions each step of the way which helped calm my nerves. They were honest and upfront about the outlook for my case. Theo said he couldn't promise, but that it was his sincere hope that he could get my case referred to pre-trial diversion. He gave me a solid outline of things I could do on my end to increase the chances of a successful diversion while he made his best argument with the DA on my behalf for the diversion program. Thank the Lord, our efforts were successful and I was able to serve probation and have the case dismissed. Theo and his team were able to help me avert a life-ruining disaster, and did so for a rate that I thought was more than fair.

An answer to prayer
Mr. Sereebutra was amazing! He was professional, personable, and took plenty of time to explain every aspect of my daughter's case to us. He negotiated the charges, which were very serious, down to a very minor level, at which we were simply astonished. His rates are very reasonable also. I highly recommend Mr. Sereebutra.

Thorough and efficient attorney
Mr. Sereebutra went above and beyond with my case. He made many phone calls and worked many hours on making sure the final decision was in my family's favor. I would definitely recommend him to represent your court case needs.

Grateful & Relieved Client!
I came to Mr. Sereebutra at the beginning of 2020 as a very distressed individual. I was arrested back in 2019. While not going into every detail of the incident, I was ultimately accused of a very serious offense that I did not commit. This was my first time ever being arrested, and due to the severity of the consequences that I knew could follow a charge of that degree, it had all started to weigh very heavily on me mentally. On my frantic search for a criminal defense attorney, this is when I came across Mr. Sereebutra. Since the first day I stepped into his office for consultation, he was always upfront and honest with me. While at the same time, always very helpful and supportive. The county I was charged in was one of the toughest to be charged with a criminal offense, and this would not be an easy case. He was sure that I understood this before proceeding. When I shook his hand and concluded our conversation, I was confident that I had made the right choice by hiring him as I walked out of the office. From that day on, I was sure to complete all tasks that he required of me in a timely manner, while I trusted him to use this evidence to build my defense. Fast forward to today, and the charge was reduced tremendously, no jail time, and I am free to be here writing this review today. I am very thankful and grateful for all the work Mr. Sereebutra has done for me. I would definitely recommend him twice to anyone who is looking for a criminal defense attorney or is in a similar situation to mine previously. If you were weighing your options before, now you know where to go!

DUI Defense Case - Theo Sereebutra
Mr. Sereebutra was nothing short of stellar throughout the entirety of my DUI case. In my case, I was presented with a situation where I was clearly in the wrong, and the court had everything that they needed in order to convict me of a DUI. Although we were at the mercy of the court, Mr. Sereebutra remained positive and was very supportive of me throughout the entire case. He was very clear and concise on what needed to be done as far as state requirements and he also helped me with all of the questions that I had along the way. Overall, I couldn't have hoped for a better attorney as Mr. Sereebutra was readily available and very thorough on his end. Thankfully, his hard work and dedication to my case resulted in a reduction in my sentencing and I was able to have a much more favorable outcome than what was initially expected. I would gladly recommend Mr. Theo Sereebutra to anybody in a similar situation to mine as I believe he is one of the best at what he does!

Not a harder working Lawyer in the state!
My son had an addiction and it got him into trouble on more than one occasion. Theo Sereebutra worked hard to get him the best possible result. My son is now in a rehab facility getting help. There are plenty of subpar lawyers out there. Its nice to find one who really earns his money!

Better than 5 stars!
Theo handled my son's case. I cannot say enough about this man. Not only did he jump in immediately, he got the process started and quickly resolved in our favor! Mr. Sereebutra was also kind, compassionate, informative, always available, and VERY thorough. I hired him after our initial phone consultation and he went to work. Mr. Sereebutra treats you more like family than a client, and that is HUGE when you are going through such a stressful process. I cannot say enough about how amazing he is! If you are looking for an attorney that can get you the outcome you deserve, he's your guy! One call with him and you will immediately know why I recommend him!

Saved My Life
If you are faced with a legal situation that can negatively impact or even ruin your life, call Theo Sereebutra right now. Theo is a straight shooter and tells you like it is. He does not sugar coat anything and clearly explains the pros and cons of your situation from the lens of a former Prosecutor as well as a Criminal Defense Attorney. Trust me, you need that type of honest perspective. Theo lays out a strategic plan of defense and provides necessary expectations so that you are never in the dark about anything. I was previously granted a 12 Month Stalking Protective Order against someone. Less than one year after the Order expired, this person knowingly filed a false TPO against me. Sadly, our judicial system allows for this type of abuse of process. When it comes to TPOs, you need to know that anyone can lie on you for whatever reason and be granted a TPO. As such, I knew I was dealing with a very serious matter and had to find not just any attorney but the best attorney. My situation was complicated because I had a very short window to retain an attorney (11 days to be exact). After speaking with several attorneys, it was clear that most would not even touch a TPO case because they assume that it’s too difficult to get it dismissed. And in many cases, this is true. However, once I spoke to Theo, I knew he was the best and only attorney for me. Theo saw right through the false and preposterous claims and went to work building my defense. I had always maintained meticulous records, and Theo let me know exactly what was needed. He and I first spoke on a Friday, and by Monday evening, he was already deep into my case. I was suffering great distress and had trouble sleeping because of the malicious lies. Theo was so concerned about my lack of sleep that he called me to provide some reassurances. What attorney has this much compassion? Staying in touch with Theo was very easy, as he was available by phone and email. If he was out of the office, his wonderful Legal Assistant, Marijo, relayed my concerns in a timely manner. The communication was exceptional, and Theo always explained matters without overwhelming me with legal jargon. The day of the hearing, I arrived early at the Courthouse, and Theo was already there waiting for me. He wasn’t asking last-minute questions, shuffling through paperwork, or going over evidence; he was extraordinarily prepared. His cool and calm demeanor brought a sense of peace to me. In Court, Theo was so masterful that I didn’t even have to speak at the hearing. Through his cross examination, he totally shredded the false TPO and exposed the lies. He even proved that this person had committed acts that were arrestable offenses. The TPO was rightfully dismissed, and as promised, Theo followed through by making sure that I received all applicable paperwork, including the all-important Order of Denial for a TPO signed by the Judge. If you are facing a legal situation, especially due to malicious lies, please take it seriously. You can lose everything, including your freedom, your home, your career, your family, and your reputation. Theo understands and will fight for your defense as if he was fighting for his own life. Had I not had Theo as my attorney, my life would have been ruined. Do not ever risk going into a courtroom with just any attorney. You need an experienced and caring attorney like Theo who is going to explore every avenue to defend you and obtain justice for you. From the initial consultation to the actual hearing and everything in between, Theo was the consummate professional. He was a Godsend and a lifesaver. In legal circles, I imagine that he is considered an attorney’s attorney. While I never thought that I would need a Criminal Defense Attorney in my lifetime, I am so thankful to have found Theo Sereebutra.

Amazing attorney
Attorney Sareebutra is one of the most approachable attorneys I have ever hired and had a pleasure of working with. He helped me with two cases that were from 2016 and 2017 and he was able to have first case reduced and the second one dismissed. He's very straight forward with his clients, he does not make promises and he delivers on his word. Anytime I needed to reach out to him, he was available whether I had to leave a message. He always returned all phone calls and he reached out via email also. I would 100% recommend him to anybody and everybody, and if I had another issue, hopefully will not happen, I would hire him in a minute. I just want to say a very heart felt thank you to attorney, Mr. Sareebutra, for everything he did for me.

Charges dismissed
I very much appreciated Mr. Sereebutra's time and help. My spouse called his office while the law officers were still talking w/ me, and Mr. Sereebutra took the call right then and stayed on the line until we knew what the officers chose to do, even though there was no guarantee that we would retain his services. We did hire him, and I appreciated that he took our concerns seriously and explained without "talking down" to us. He did not promise us rainbows and sunshine, yet he did get the charges dismissed. Until that happy day, having him in our ring was a great comfort.

Minor Child - Terroristic Threats
Our child was detained by the police for terroristic threats at school. We reached out to some pretty well known names/friends in the Georgia government and lawyers that we know to help us retain a lawyer with our child's case, and we were given the name of Mr. Sereebutra. Mr. Sereebutra was professional and easy to understand. He does not talk over your head and explains in detail what is happening now and what to expect in the future with your case. We walked out of his office with some relief and we let him take the wheel. We have never had any legal issues in our family before so this was scary but Mr. Sereebutra aka Theo took care of everything and assured us that this will all work out and it did. His staff was amazing and very competent and kept everything confidential since our child is a minor. We hope we don't have to recommend him to anyone we know and yet I highly recommend him to anyone reading this post. I write this with the sincerest gratitude for his work in making us comfortable and getting the best outcome for our child. From beginning to end everything was completed in 2 months.
