After thoroughly researching and consulting with several top-rated attorneys in Atlanta, I hired George Stein because he is the best, bar none. He was the first attorney that friends and family suggested, but I had several preconceived notions. I thought that because of George's status and reputa...tion, I would never actually speak to/ deal directly with him, that everything would be delegated to an associate, and that he would be inaccessible, and impossible to reach or hear back from. George's level of service and professionalism, undeniably, eliminated my concerns. I reached out to an attorney with hundreds of 5-star reviews, and a Avvo rating of 10 for a consultation. Over a week later, and calling at least 3 times, I was finally able to consult with this attorney. He said that he couldn't say anything bad about George Stein, but the difference would be that I would have his cell number, and be able to easily reach him about my case. I found this ironic since George had been the first attorney to call me back, and it was from his cell phone since it was the weekend. This attorney also charged double what George did, but it would've only been $2k more than George's fee if his associate handled my case. I'm glad that I took the time to consult with other attorneys because by the time I met George in person, I knew without any shadow of a doubt that there was no competition. With the exception of one other attorney, every other attorney I consulted with was more than happy to take my money to help me plead out. George did not sugarcoat anything, but he laid out all of my options, possible outcomes, and expertly represented me in whatever decision I made. He is well-known and respected in the legal community, and every day we were in court, other attorneys would approach him with questions, or ask for his opinion on a matter, and some even sat in on our trial. Needless to say, I'm glad I went with my gut on this one, and hired George Stein with a more than favorable result. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone else in need of his services.

My son was involved in an accident where two cars were totaled, he was arrested and charged with DUI....We called lawyers and went to two consulations but we were not convinced...We made an appointment to see Mr.Stein and my son and I agreed that this was it...His one DUI turned into two and on top ...of that he drives trucks for a living...This case lingered but Mr Stein did an outstanding job representing him...It went so well that after the verdict was read, a guy waiting to go before the judge said "Wow he got off good."I am thankful and so pleased with Mr. Stein , he comes highly recommended from a parent who was worried about the outcome of the case and my son's future . Well it's over, both DUIs were dropped and my son is back on the road driving.Thank you Mr Stein.

I was very stressed about what attorney to hire after being pulled over and arrested for a DUI (for the second time). The first one was dismissed - and George was my attorney for that one. Friends and family were giving me advice, and frankly, it was overwhelming. After struggling with the dec...ision, I decided to go with a different attorney for this situation. Initially, I was pleased with my decision. This other attorney was well respected and very thorough. It was after the license hearing that I began to wonder if I had made a mistake. He was able to get my license reinstated - but only after agreeing with the officer that I would plead guilty - which was no what we had discussed. Needless to say, I was alarmed that this had happened. So, I called George. He was calm, also very thorough, and was willing to take my case. He would not make me any promises - but nevertheless he seemed confident. I called the first attorney and told him that I had decided to go a different direction and would no longer be using him to defend my case. After a long 2.5 years, a hearing was scheduled and we were set to go before the judge. George and his team had done a fantastic job discussing all of complicated elements of my case with the prosecutor and by the time my case was called, the prosecutor had agreed to reduce the charges to reckless driving. Fighting a DUI is a terrifying thing. Do yourself a favor and hire the best attorney that you can find. George has done an outstanding job for me twice now.

As she dealt with the stress of finishing a third undergraduate degree, my daughter simultaneously experienced the stress of breaking up with her boyfriend of several years. Somehow she managed to successfully survive her finals and complete her degree but then plummeted into a deep depression that i...ncapacitated her for the better part of a year. She underwent counseling, became suicidal and had to be admitted for emergency intervention at a mental health facility, discovered that her bipolar disorder did not respond to medication, and, as a last resort, consented to undergo electroconvulsive therapy. Gradually, she improved and started getting out of bed for longer periods of time. She even began to interact again, something she had literally not done in months. These gains were lost when she suffered a setback that plunged her deeper into depression than ever. She checked into a motel and took a bottle of sleeping pills with the full intention of ending it all. God had other plans. She awoke the next morning and set out to visit a supportive friend. The sleeping pills had not had time to get out of her system and she had a minor rear-end collision with another vehicle. Noticing her groggy condition, the attending state trooper conducted a sobriety test and booked her into the county jail. My wife and I feared that our daughter might attempt suicide again if her future job prospects became doubtful due to a DUI conviction and/or due to additional mandatory jail time that would accompany a conviction. Knowing how tough and unforgiving Georgia's DUI law is, my wife and I knew that we would need a really good DUI attorney and that even then it would be a long shot. We interviewed two DUI attorneys the first of which gave little hope for success but would be willing to hold her hand through the process for $5000. The second attorney was somewhat cocky, abrasive, and unpleasant. Like the first, he agreed to hold her hand through the process for a handsome sum of money. At a loss for where to turn, our son told us about an attorney in Atlanta, George Stein, who had the reputation of being the preeminent DUI attorney for the State of Georgia and who had successfully represented an acquaintance of his. We contacted Mr. Stein and he made nothing but a positive, professional impression on us from the start. He explained clearly how he would go about his representation, assured our daughter that he and his staff would shoulder the burden for her, and that all she would have to do is show up and avoid any further driving violations. Feeling she would be in the best hands possible, we hired him. He and his team conscientiously executed their strategy and were able to get the charges reduced to reckless driving, thereby avoiding the stigma of a DUI and avoiding additional jail time. As a result, our daughter's outlook has improved dramatically. She is employed and making plans for her future. We could not be happier with the quality of representation that Mr. Stein and his staff provided. If you want the peace of mind of knowing that you have the best in the business representing you as you deal with Georgia's extremely tough DUI law, he's the attorney you are looking for. We are eternally grateful to him.
