"Don is the greatest lawyer around. He is not only an unbelievable lawyer; he is also a great person. Whenever you have a question for him, he is always willing to assist you in finding the solution. In addition, he is a great teacher, and he is so smart that it is amazing. He makes it sound so easy. All judges, both state and federal, look to him on issues of the law. It is nice when the judges can just pick up his book to cite when he argues a point. I saw a review above from a client that was negative. I doubt any of it was true. If I can be just half the lawyer he is, then my clients are in great hands."

"I endorse this lawyer. Don gives the best presentations about developments in the law in the business. Not only does he make practicing lawyers think about trends and tendencies of the judiciary, but he also makes us laugh. He is also a very generous person - in short, he has what it takes to vigorously and successfully defend the rights of the accused. As far as his encyclopedic knowledge of the law is concerned, there is only one way to put it: "he has forgotten more criminal law than most criminal defense lawyers know.""

Relationship: Co-worker

"Don is the master. He writes the books that the judges, prosecutors and defense lawyers rely on to figure out the criminal law in both State and Federal courts in Georgia. Don's strengths as a lawyer don't end with his mastery of the law. Don has an unmatched ability to recognize and understand the strengths and weaknesses of every case. With that understanding he is able to craft creative and effective strategies for getting the best result possible for his clients. When it comes time to go to court, Don knows exactly how to get the information he needs from the witnesses and how to persuasively argue his case to the jury. Don is a fearless advocate for all of his clients and I highly recommend him for anyone seeking legal representation in a criminal matter."

"Don is, without a doubt, one of the best defense attorneys in the country. He has represented defendants in courts throughout the United States and has successfully defended cases before the US Supreme Court. I can personally attest to his legal acumen, as Don and I worked closely together for two years on a complex criminal defense case that ultimately resulted in a not guilty verdict for our client. After two years of pretrial litigation and nearly a two month trial, I felt that I learned more from Don than in my three years of law school and seven years in private practice. He is truly a criminal defense expert."
