DUI in Roswell

I would like to share my experience working with George Stein and his DUI defense team. In the Fall of 2014, within two weeks of moving to Georgia and as part of a corporate relocation, I was arrested and charged with my first DUI. As a chemical sales rep for a major corporation, my job frequentl...y involves both customer and internal outings where alcohol is consumed. The night of my arrest was no different than many in the past. However, after finding myself in jail for the first time, the risk-related behavior and past lapses in judgement became all too apparent. I was now facing jail time, loss of my current employment, and a real jeopardy to my future career in a very conservative big-business environment. I immediately recognized that I would need help in this matter and began talking to lawyers. What is unique about George Stein is his integrity. He preserves this not only in himself but also his Clients. Where other attorneys I spoke to where saying they would begin by burying the court in requests and technicalities, George understands what needs to be done in court and he clearly explained it all to me. From a legal perspective, I did not give George a lot to work with. Since it was my first true run-in with ‘the law’ I reverted to an ‘honesty is the best policy’ approach during the arrest. Although you can technically contest a DUI breath test result, it probably did not help that I told the officer what I had to drink on camera. The prosecutor was aware of this so initial proposed outcomes were less than ideal. Despite this, George continued to plea my case and work with the prosecutor. In the end, it came down to the Judge’s decision. I am happy to say that with George’s support we successfully negotiated a plea that would dismiss the DUI and preserve my career potential. What is also unique about George is his presence in the court room. After everyone stands up to honor the Judge and the Judge makes his introduction, it is almost as if the Judge’s introduction includes an announcement for appreciation that George Stein is in the court room. It was plainly clear during all of my court proceedings that everyone from Judges, to prosecutors, to Clerks and other attorneys, they know and respect George; and he acts on this respect without a vein of self-serving pride. I know without a doubt that George’s approach to his profession, and the level of respect that Courts have for George also helped the outcome of my case. My absolute gratitude goes to George and his team for their help to keep my family’s new life in Georgia on track.

Road Block DUI

I was charged with a DUI when I encountered a road block in West Georgia. The breath test was a .19 so I asked Mr. Stein and his firm for legal counsel. As a team they helped me keep my driver's license and had the charges reduced to reckless driving and a fine. George's law firm and team of competen...t lawyers did an outstanding job.

BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT! HELL I WOULD HAVE PAID MORE!!

You obviously made a mistake in exercising discretion. Now don't make a similar mistake in attorney selection. There are boatload of attorneys who represent DUI competency. I don't think any of them could have gotten both my cases completely dismissed entirely like George did. Take it from a two ti...me client of this firm, if it was not for them, I would have severely ruined my life. What I really liked was that they did not judge me for coming back a second time. They have the experience and because of the constant research of George's book, know the law better than the prosecutor. And also remember, they are not afraid to fight your case, just work with them and please be patient as good results take time. The judges have a tremendous amount of deference for George's arguments. Thanks George for everything you will always be on my Holiday Card list. I shall not forget the good things you have done for me.

You get what you pay for

OMG....great DUI attorney. My wife had gotten a DUI about 3 yrs. ago and she just now took the stand. George Stein and his team are a work of art in the court room. The DUI was dismissed. The officer (witness) was not expecting what was brought to him from Steins defense. I'm sure he wished he never ...showed for the trial. There was a following to close charge as well and they did make that one stick. I'm okay with the outcome. The only mark I have against the team was when my wife had her first court appearance, the woman (I forget her name) suggested that my wife take the plea bargain because the chances were to slim to take to trial. Lucky I was there, because my wife may have taken the deal. I said no way. Let's take it to trial (against her wishes). For 7 thousand dollars I was willing to roll the dice. I can get a 1500 dollar attorney to plea bargain. The case was moved to another jurisdiction. and 3 yrs. later my wife finally got her day in court. Turned out to be a great day. I say, you get what you pay for so spend the extra money for good representation. But don't forget that you still make the decisions on taking the plea or taking it to trial.

Courtesy, Informative & Gets Results

Mr. Stein gave my daughter excellent representation. It was her first arrest (and, we hope, her last) and George Stein's experience & knowledge helped our family out of a tough, tough jam. No surprises, hidden fees or anything like that. Just straight-forward dealings and plenty of help from Mr. ...Stein - and his staff - throughout the process. I would employ him again but hope I won't need to! Thank you!
