DUI representation

Mr. Burkhalter represented me in a DUI case and successfully concluded the case by gaining dismissal of case. He argued that evidence was obtained without proper notice of my right to not incriminate myself. The precedent case was at the time on appeal at the Georgia Supreme Court and is at this time... still on the Court's docket. It involves Miranda Rights. The District Attorney declined to prosecute and dismissed the case. I am very happy to give Mr. Burkhalter a very high review of his representation.

Best Attorney in Rome!

Mr. Burkhalter treats me like I’m family. He makes sure to put your best interests first. I needed to talk to him late one night and he took that time to speak with me. I highly recommend using him for any of your legal issues!

Look no further for an honest lawyer!

If anyone has ever had a bad experience with a lawyer and think there are no good lawyers, Mr. Burkhalter will change your mind in a heartbeat. Upon meeting with him for the first time, you can tell he is a no-nonsense, shoot from the hip, HONEST and caring person who just happens to have a proclivi...ty for the law. I hired Mr. Burkhalter for a family matter that should have been easily and quickly resolved, but lasted a much longer time than usual. Mr. Burkhalter gave me his full attention every time I met with him, kept me apprised of any situation that arose and after this problem was resolved, charged me much less than I expected. His staff were always courteous and kind and my questions were answered by the afternoon or the next couple of days. He has e-mail, too! Excellent lawyer! I would always recommend Mr. Burkhalter and I have to several friends.

Relationship: Friend

"I have known Zach my entire life, and have had the privilege of serving as co-counsel with him on many cases. Zach has always been an exemplary model of ethics in our profession and cares deeply and personally for each of his clients. His expertise in many areas of law and zealous advocacy for his clients make him an excellent choice for legal representation. I have personally witnessed Zach fight, through trial, for criminal clients most other attorneys would have strong armed into taking unfavorable plea deals. His trial work is creative, intelligent, and personable, giving his clients a fighting chance to have their day in court. If you are looking for a tenacious lawyer who will make a personal investment in your case, you won't go wrong hiring Zach Burkhalter to fight for you."
