This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

EXCEPTIONAL ATTORNEY THANK YOU MR. LIETZ

After discovering that my wife and I were being investigated for bank fraud, we began the painstaking process of finding the best legal council in the country who could defend us. Thankfully, our search lead us to Mr. Lietz, who deployed his superior legal expertise and considerable resources on our... behalf. Mr. Lietz took immediate action gathering pertinent information and carefully reviewing our documents. Within a very short period of time, he and his legal team, uncovered significant evidence that was crucial in exonerating us from wrongdoing. Mr. Lietz then took fast action, presenting this evidence and his findings to the prosecutor, who after review, halted the investigation. Mr. Lietz's sound guidance and legal expertise brought this horrible event to a quick close. Mr. Lietz is a hard working professional who is dedicated to delivering the best possible results for his clients. Thank you Mr. Lietz, you have our deepest gratitude and or highest recommendation!

Amazing Lawyer cant thank him enough.

I am writing this review regarding Carl Lietz of Kish and Lietz law firm. I was in the unfortunate situation of needing an attorney. I had many referrals from friends and family that I first tried to meet with after numerous attempts to gain an actual face to face consultation I resorted to the inter...net . I called one Attorney who seemed to be a very well known I was basically told that to come talk to him plan on paying a retainer which was non refundable in the event his services were not needed.I then came across Kish and Lietz after reviewing the information on their website I made a call. Carl Lietz was on the phone immediately no can I take a message and have him call you back. I discussed my situation and was invited to the office for a consultation which was promptly scheduled within a day or two of my call. I met with Carl gave him the details of my situation and was shocked when he basically told me he wouldn't want to take any money until I was sure I would need his services. I was very shaken up by the events that led up to me needing representation and had many sleepless nights Carl was able to instill confidence in me and ease my mind. The consultation lasted for an hour or so and at the end he told me should I need his services to call and then he would accept a retainer. I had to insist he accept some sort of retainer just to ease my concerns which he did. I left his office with the confidence that I had retained an incredibly knowledgable attorney. Carl also handed me his contact information and made it clear that should I have questions or concerns he was reachable 24/7. Time passed and I did end up needing Carls services. I can only say that had it not been for Carl I would have suffered many worrisome days and nights. Carl made me feel as though I was as important as any of his other clients never made me feel as I was a bother when i called with silly questions and re assured me my situation would turn out fine and it did. Atlanta Magazine refers to him as a Super lawyer and I feel this sells him short he is an amazing Lawyer, full of knowledge, very personable, and an all around great person. I can't thank him enough for all he did for me and my family.

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Carl is a hard working attorney dedicated to defending people charged with federal crimes. Carl is one of the most respected and experienced federal defense attorneys in Georgia. Other lawyers in Atlanta often call on Carl for his advice and guidance in federal criminal matters. In fact, he is the lawyer other lawyers would call if they were being charged or investigated in a federal criminal matter. I would (and often do) recommend him without hesitation to people who are facing criminal charges in federal court. If you have a federal criminal matter and need help, call Carl. You will not be disappointed."
