Turned a DUI charge into just a speeding ticket. Was on my side the entire time and without judgement. "You get what you pay for" is very true. It felt so good having his firm represent me. It took a long time, but was the best outcome I could imagine. Why would you hire anyone else? There is no one ...

His mentorship within the National College of DUI Defense has been invaluable for me and countless other lawyers and I am sincerely grateful for his energies in that regard. One of the best, without question or dispute."

This I learned at Las Vegas last week at the “WinÂning at Every Level,†NACDL & NCDD’s 15th Annual DUI Means Defend With IngeÂnuÂity seminar in Las Vegas. He was at Harvard for the DUI Summer Session also. He is dedicated. He wrote a DUI book that's so big it scares me as it sits across the room."

"George has written the book on DUI in Georgia. George has the ability to be creative and had developed many strategies that other lawyer use today in jury trials.

The Stein & Ward law firm just won the "best lawyers of the year" 2011 for taking more cases to jury trial than any other law firm in this state. George is also the Dean of the National College for DUI defense. The National College for DUI defense is a college for DUI lawyers across every state in the nation, to be the Dean you must be recognized as the very best lawyer hands down with the highest ethics in and out of the courtroom.

As a fellow member of the criminal defense bar, I am proud to have George as a colleague and recommend his services without hesitation. He is top notch."
"George is one of the foremost national authorities in the field of DUI defense. He has a national reputation and a known history of trial experience that is among the top in the nation. George is routinely called upon to lecture to other experts in the country due to his superb knowledge of the nuances of DUI and criminal defense, as well as trial skills. As a lawyer in a neighboring state that shares a border with George, I routinely call on him as one of my go to guys when it comes to complicated issues in DUI defense. I would recommend George to ANYONE charged with a DUI or involved in an accident in the state of Georgia, without reservation."
"Having been a member of the National College for DUI Defense for over 10 years now, and as an annual attendee of two to three national DUI defense seminars, I have been privileged to get to know many of our nation's finest DUI defense attorneys. George Stein is undoubtedly amongst this select group. His reputation for professional excellence far exceeds the borders of Georgia. His reputation as a well trained, experienced, ultra talented yet deeply compassionate, DUI defense attorney is not only national but matched by very few. I proudly and loudly endorse George Stein. The citizen accused could be in no better hands. Period. The fact that he is a personal friend is but a bonus."
"George and I have known each other for nearly 20 years. He is a martial arts expert, and has won international titles in judo.

George has my praise for his both personal integrity and his willingness to work hard at whatever he tackles in life."

"I am Michael Allen Peters and I am a retired criminal courts judge in Houston, Harris County, Texas after 16 years of service. I have been involved with hundreds of competent lawyers and thousands of incompetent ones also. I have had the pleasure of witnessing the legal skills and trial skills of Mr. Stein that I give him the highest of ratings for competence, effectiveness, professionalism and preparedness. In effect, Mr. Stein is the epitome of what the consummate trial lawyer and advocate should be. I know that he is well respected amongst his peers not just in Georgia but nationally as well. In fact, in Cobb County, Judge Rusty Carlysle, a personal friend of mine for several years always has high marks for Mr. Stein’s courtroom skills."
"I have known George Stein since 2000 and I have had the honor of assisting him in conducting a trial advocay workshop at the National College for DUI Defense in 2007. He is extremely skilled and qualified - one of the best in America. His command of the courtroom is second to none. I would not hesitate to refer a close friend or family member to Gearge Stein."
"Recently I had the pleasure of meeting Attorney Stein at a national seminar sponsored by the National College for DUI Defense. This seminar was held at Harvard's Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In attendance were some of the best and brightests DUI attorney's in the country. Attorney Stein was designated by the college to speak on DUI and specifically closing arguments. His presence before the class of approximately 70 DUI attorneys was impeccible. I can not imagine how articulate and well furbished he would be in front of a jury. I would recommend Attorney Stein to anyone involved in a DUI or DUI related offense."
"Role model. Attorney Stein is my role model. He is my role model not simply for the knowledge that he has accumulated in the field of criminal law and DUI defense. He is not simply my role model based upon his accomplishments in the Courtroom. He is also not simply my role model based the large body of successful appellate advocacy that he has accumulated. He is my role model for all of the above, but also in his demeanor, the way he carries himself and his style. He does not need to trumpet his accomplishments, he just continues to achieve. Quite simply, Attorney Stein is an attorney that all attorneys should try to emulate. I know I am."
"Attorney Stein is an extremely accomplished Georgia based DUI Defense Attorney. He is the author of the "must-have" Georgia DUI practice guide. I recently had the privilege of attending a national seminar for DUI Defense lawyers at which Attorney Stein gave a most informative presentation. More than being well versed in the intricacies of DUI law, Attorney Stein is also a ferocious advocate in the courtroom. Should you find yourself in the unfortunate position of facing DUI charges, make a wise decision and hire Attorney Stein. You will not be disappointed."
"I am happy to endorse George Stein and feel very comfortable putting my reputation on the line by doing so. George is a superb DUI and Criminal Defense lawyer who is a founding member of the National College For DUI Defense, is the secretary for the organization, a Regent of the College, and a teacher to the rest of us who practice DUI Defense. Any time anyone calls me looking for a DUI or criminal defense attorney in the greater Atlanta area, George's is the only name i mention. Lloyd Golburgh, Esq., Fort Lauderdale."
