Perfect Timing

I contacted Mr. Butterfield concerning a criminal matter I was forced to deal with. From the start he expressed concern for my issue. He expressed the seriousness of my charges and his eagerness to defend me. He told me what his fees would be. We agreed. He immediately went to work on my case. M...r. Butterfield communicated with witnesses and law enforcement to uncover the details necessary for my defense. Based on those details he recommended taking the case to trial. I would not be able to give this review had we lost. The results speak for themselves.

Best criminal lawyer in Georgia

As a trial lawyer, I have hired Torris for some of my clients whom have been charged with various offenses that would impact the civil case I was representing them for. Without fail, Torris has always not only done a superb job, but has always added value to my case.

Dependable and Determined

I had a criminal case and was very afraid that it would affect my profession negatively. Attorney Butterfield stated to me, "Trust me" and I did. Not only did the case get thrown out but my job is not in jeopardy because I didn't have an conviction. Thank you Attorney Butterfield!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
