George Chadwell Creal Jr. = NOT GUILTY

George Creal did a great job with my DUI case. He was able not only to prove the officer incorrectly performed the HGN tests and sobriety tests but he also had a great opening and closing argument. I would HIGHLY recommend Georg Creal for you DUI case. You won't be sorry.

Posted by Vigneshwaran | September 8, 2021

For the best possible outcome

George was really amazing and was able to get my DUI conviction reduced to simple traffic violation. It’s true that Unethical DUI lawyers with low fees will take your money and then ask you to plead guilty without doing any sort of work whatsoever. But Mr. Creal took over my case, did his homework and guided me through the entire process. I was very impressed with his service and I would highly recommend Mr. Creal to anyone facing a DUI conviction to get the best possible outcome. Thanks George for working with me!

Atlanta Criminal Defense Attorney

Professional and Compassionate

As a recent client I give George the highest rating possible. He was professional and compassionate at the same time. He was honest and forthright. We agreed on a strategy and possible outcome to my case then George went to work to get it done. George demonstrated a high regard for the law and justice for me as his client. From the very beginning I felt like George had my back.

Best Dui lawyer in the Southeast

George Creal is by far one of the best, if not the best DUI lawyer in the southeast. If I hadn't hired Creal as my lawyer I'd be facing a lot of time in prison for violation of probation. Creal found the smallest crack in my case and had it dropped to nearly a fine. I have no record of my incident anywhere other than my memory. On top of his expertise he was willing to work with me toward payments. Any other lawyer will rob you blind. I have never met such a good person in my life. When you need to hire a lawyer and be treated like a human being, hire Creal. Those with a DUI pending hire this man.

Prompt, Informative, and Professional

George Creal and his litigation team were prompt and informative in their handling of my case. As other reviewers have noted, his presence is also very down to earth and friendly. Mr. Creal clearly maintains good working relationships with various court personnel and district attorneys. I believe that this and his constant professionalism had significant influence in reducing my charges and penalties in a very difficult case. Would recommend to anyone facing DUI charges.

Best Attorney for Traffic Citations of Any Kind

I have hired George Creal on more than one occasion... Four to be exact! However, in all cases George was able to represent me, and I did receive a lesser infraction and far less consequences than I would have been given without Mr. Creal there on my behalf. He is very professional and well respected in his field. Obviously, I am a satisfied customer! Five Stars every time!

"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."
