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 professi...onal 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.

Professional Lawyer

I unfortunately was charged with five serious charges(DUI, Reckless Driving, Disorderly Conduct, Two counts of Criminal Tresspaing), and was faced with significant fines and jail time. I was referred to Mr. Sereebutura by a family friend's lawyer. The decision to hire him was by far the best. He spen...t a significant amount of time explaining how serious the situation was on my initial consultation and how he felt he could challenge the situation. Again, it was a great decision and his prices were were extremely fair. Theo kept me informed on the situation during the process and was quick to take my calls if he was available or promptly called me back. During such a distraught time period, that type of professionalism is enspiriting. The end result was an extremely positive one. My charges were dropped over an extended time period of wrangling except for a Trespassing charge. I highly recommend Mr. Sereebutra's services. Thank you!!

Happy Client

I hired attorney Sereebutra to help me with a sensitive family matter. He was very forthcoming, explaining the law to me. He stayed in touch with me during the court process. In the end we got the best result & the charges were dropped.

The Worse

I retained Mr. Serrabuttra to handle a criminal matter for me in Paulding County and the first day that I seen this man in person was when we went to court for a plea. He talks about being a former prosecutor in Paulding Co. and how that helps him there. Not once leading up to my plea did Mr. Serra...buttra ask me my side of the story. He did not care. To me all he was concerned with was the $6500 I paid him for this matter. In my opinion he is the worse lawyer you could get to represent you in any matter. He is not professional or courteous.
