Very responsive to my specific needs and great peace of mind.

The EHG team communicated clearly and advised right things. The whole team worked very well on my case and I specially thanks to Ms. Ansley, so kind; very strong and knowledgeable in handling my matter. So much peace of mind in working with EHG team. Thanks a lot, to EHG team! I absolutely recommend....

Incredible team!

Not only did Erin and Juanita ease my anxiety and answer my millions of questions, but they got my DUI charge dismissed. They were always accessible and extremely knowledgeable of every part of the court process. I can’t thank them enough for helping me and would recommend them to anyone in a heartbe...at!

Traffic FTA resolved quickly and efficiently!

I’m a Florida resident and it was time to renew my Florida drivers licenses. Florida DMV told me I could not renew because of a 15 year old traffic violation in Atlanta. I reached out to Juanita and was genuinely impressed and amazed at how quickly and efficiently she resolved my issue. I retained... her services on Saturday and by 11:00 on Monday morning the issue was resolved. Saved me the time, expense, and hassle of going to Atlanta and resolving myself. While I hope I never need Juanita’s services again, if I do, my first and only call will be to her. In these days when people don’t always do what they say they will do, Juanita is a rock star.

Swift resolution

EHG quickly handled my traffic court case in a time period that didn't create any further issues. They have good connections to the court that helped ensure this was done in a timely manner. Very responsive to information and fair value for the work

Great lawyers

I lost my license and the soonest court date I could get scheduled on my own was about a month out. I desperately needed my driving privileges back sooner than that. Consulted several attorneys and they all gave me a similar answer; they likely could not get me in any sooner. Erin confidently gave... me a different answer and followed through. She was understanding of my situation and her team got my case resolved much sooner. I couldn’t be happier. Highly recommended.

DUI and DWI lawyer | Aug 20

"Erin is, quite simply, one of the very best DUI lawyers in Atlanta. She has the unique ability to disarm prosecutors and negotiate resolutions that most other lawyers would not think possible. In the rare event that she is unable to negotiate a reduction or dismissal of your DUI, you can rest assured that Erin is prepared to fight your case. No one prepares their cases as diligently as her. If you are lucky enough to have Erin as your lawyer, you can rest assured that you are receiving the very best representation possible."

"I have known Erin for over ten years first as a prosecutor and subsequently as a fellow DUI defense attorney. She is truly one of the most brilliant attorneys in our profession. Erin has won numerous unwinnable cases in jurisdictions where most attorneys refuse to go to handle a case. She is a prominent DUI speaker at seminars sponsored by Institute of Continuing Legal Education in Georgia and the National College for DUI Defense. I strongly endorsed Erin Gerstenzang."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Erin Gerstenzang is the most thorough and well prepared criminal defense and DUI attorney I've ever worked with. Whether resolving a case through a trial or by a plea, I have never known her to give less than one hundred percent of her best efforts for her clients. If there is a better DUI trial lawyer in Georgia, I've not had the pleasure of meeting them."

"Erin is an exceptional attorney. She is committed to precision and preparation in her practice, which translates to her outperforming the prosecution and to her being deeply respected by her colleagues, the Bench, and the District Attorney. She also is the epitome of professionalism- despite gaining great results for her clients, she maintains good relationships with the prosecution despite their jobs being naturally adversarial. As many attorneys can tell you, this is not an easy or common balance to accomplish. Erin cares about her clients and the details of your particular case. She is dedicated to providing the best representation and is well known locally and nationally for her skills in her specialty. You would be wise to retain her for your matter."

"The first time I met Erin, she was in court on multiple DUI cases. It quickly became apparent that she was an absolute shark in the courtroom. Intelligent, confident, knowledgable. A rare combination of traits that make her a scary opponent. I would recommend her to anyone arrested for a DUI."
