I have known George for several years and he is recognized by many attorneys as an excellent attorney. He is one of the most knowledgeable attorneys I know and is not afraid to challenge a law he deems unconstitutional or unfair. He works hard for his clients and is respected by his peers for his refusal to back down from a fight. He fights for what is right and this courage often leads him him to the Court of Appeals. Many of the DUI lawyers that I know, as well as myself, keep an eye on the cases he appeals to look for new changes in the law.
