Marny Did What She Said She Would, When She Said She Would...

Marny represented me in court for a minor traffic violation because I was from out of state and couldn't make in back for the mandatory court appearance. The violation resulted in an accident that I was 'technically' at fault in. I had pictures to back up my assertion that the signs were obstructe...d. Marny returned my call 10 minutes after I left a message, on a holiday weekend. She explained all my options to me and from that point forward did exactly what she said she would do, every time she said she would do it. She was reliable during a time when I needed it and was able to get the violation reduced to a no points violation and I was able to plead no contest. She responded to my emails and texts promptly and was always on the phone when I needed to discuss something. This is very rare in today's world and I couldn't have been happier with Marny. I would highly recommend Marny to anyone needing help with any kind of driving offense. Thank you Marny!

"Marny is an excellent lawyer and even better friend. She and I have trained others on the subject of cross-examination for the last several years, and I learn something from her every time we train others. She is highly regarded by law enforcement, prosecutors, and judges. She gets more DUI cases reduced to lesser charges than any lawyers I know. If she doesn't get a reduction, she is always ready to show her skills in trial. Marny is easily one of the best DUI lawyers in the state."

"I remember when Marnie first started to defend DUI cases. She had this unbelievable run of "Not Guilty" verdicts. I think it was her first 8 jury trials. Unless you do this for a living, you can't appreciate how difficult that is. Marnie is a dedicated professional and has a handle on DUI defense like few others have. She is capable and caring. I recommend her to anyone who asks."

"I have known Marny for 6 1/2 years, and she has impressed me with her knowledge of Georgia law and her willingness to go to trial when necessary for the clients she represents. In her first 6+ years of practice, Marny has gained a reputation for being a highly professional attorney and someone who comes to court prepared for a fight. She knows most Metro police officers who are assigned to DUI taks forces, and uses her contacts to facilitate her cases. She has also gained a good deal of experience in the area of appellate work, because that is an important aspect of being a DUI trial attorney. For good reason, she has been named as a rising star in this business."
