Absolutely the Best

There is no better criminal defense attorney than David Botts. He has represented me on felony and misdemeanor cases with remarkable results. Mr. Botts genuinely cares about his clients and he is a great person and a true professional. David Botts is simply the best.

DUI offense

I was arrested for a first offense DUI on a Saturday night in January. When I found out that I was to appear in court that Tuesday morning, I was beside myself in fear and stress. I called Mr. Botts' office on Sunday, knowing that the office would be closed, left a message, and Mr. Botts returned my ...call just a few hours later. Not only did he appear in court for me on Tuesday, but appeared for me on the two subsequent dates without me even needing to be there. Ultimately, he got my charges dropped from DUI to reckless driving with probation and community service. He was extremely professional, courteous, willing to answer any and all questions that I had, and his laid back demeanor put me at ease throughout the entire stressful process. Thank you, Mr. Botts for everything that you have done for me - I will absolutely be recommending you to any and all people that may need your help!

A Super Ethical and Outstanding Defense Attorney

I highly recommend Attorney Botts to anyone looking for a strong and ethical defense attorney. I was falsely accused of child molestation and Mr. Botts was able to resolve my case with out me going to trial nor facing prison time.

"The Best Criminal Defense Attorney in Atlanta"

I was falsely accused of a child molestation charge and Mr. Botts was able to resolve my case without me going to trial nor prison. My life had turned into a living nightmare but thanks to Attorney Botts I can live a joyous life once again.

Great lawyer

I was charged with a DUI less than a year ago when a friend referred me to David Botts. I was overwhelmed at first, but Mr. Botts assured me that he would do everything he could to help me out. He fought for me and got my charge reduced to reckless driving. He did an outstanding job and I highly reco...mmend him.
