Car Accident 50%

I'm fed up with negligent drivers and demand justice for my clients. I use medical doctors that can treat clients without insurance or up-front payment. I use companies that loan money to clients that help with case expenses, too. Demand justice!

Outstanding lawyer!!!!!

After being ticketed with a DUI charge and a failure to maintain lane I called Mr. White. With these charges I was facing possible jail time, an incredibly high fine, suspension of license, probation and community service, all of this was heightened by the fact that I was also underage at the time of... my arrest. Mr. White took on my case, he worked incredibly hard, he made sure to keep me informed through emails and phone calls and was always there to answer any questions I had. Over the four years of working my case he stayed up to date on everything and never failed to show dedication through each passing year. As he worked on the case he always let me know that it was my decision on what I wanted to do, he gave me sound advice and then I made the decision to move my case to trial. When I moved my case I was aware that any plea bargain I was given was no longer on the table. After moving my case to a trial by jury he then worked endlessly to form a case, pages and pages worth of questioning were created by him, he reviewed the tape of my arrest countless times until he knew the video by heart. I always felt very confident that he was doing everything he could to create a solid case. Any time we had to appear in court he never failed to be early and prepared. With all of his hard work it was four years before we were up for trial. But soon after he told the court we were ready for trial he sat down and reviewed the case with the DA. After that meeting the DA decided to give me another deal instead of going to trial. This included me pleading nolo, and paying a fine, I would receive NO points on my license, NO probation, NO community service, NO loss of license, and NO jail time and NO DUI record. He again left the decision up to me, where then I decided to take the plea. With all of this being said, Mr. White was a miracle worker I wouldn’t have known what to do without him and his knowledge. I am very thankful for him and his time he put in pro bono for my case. I highly recommend him not only as lawyer and but as a upstanding human being. No matter what your case may be I have full confidence that he would do everything in his power to do the best job for you.

What a great client! Thanks for the kind words. For those of you wondering, she pleaded Nolo Contendere to a reduced charge of reckless driving. The two counts of DUI were dismissed by the prosecutor. That reduction came, no doubt, only because of my very detailed motions that had been filed throughout the case. Especially those filed once the case was rapidly approaching trial by jury. These Motions in Limine challenged just about every result and decision made by all officers involved. Had this case gone to trial, the prosecution would have faced just about every legal argument under the sun. As a side note, four years previous to the plea, at the client's first arraignment, I offered the prosecutor a plea deal on a reckless charge and he said "our office doesn't reduce DUIs." Had the prosecutor accepted the offer, my client would have lost her driving privileges for one year due to her age. Four years later the state didn't reduce the DUIs, they outright dismissed them both! The lesson here, folks, is never give up. Fight criminal charges aggressively. Make sure your lawyer is willing to go the distance. You are the one that ultimately decides what to do. Don't let your lawyer pressure you into unfavorable plea deals. Good luck!

"Over the past 20 years of practicing law in the same jurisdiction and matters as Tim I have never seen a more ethical and intelligent attorney! His ability to analyze the law and legal principles then apply them to his client's facts and circumstances to achieve the best possible outcome is far superiour to most other attorneys in the State of Georgia. His litigation skills in a courtroom is phenomenal! As an attorney myself I would not have any doubts or regrets in having Tim represent me, a family member a or a friend on any matter."
