THIS IS THE REVIEW YOU NEED TO READ!!!!!

Yes, I know it’s a long review but I promise reading it is worth it. And I hate writing essays BUT he truly deserves it! Here I am going through a prolonged DUI court case 3 years after the incident occurred in 2021. This is due to my previous attorney consistently finding excuses to push it ...back and not caring about me as a client. I was so stressed by not having this case nowhere near being resolved while also dealing with that arrogant (but pessimistic) attorney I had before Mr. Cleaver (I want to state his name so bad but let me not be that petty lol). I say all that because we finally get to my motions hearing for my case earlier this year (2024) and it does not go the way he wants. Immediately after the hearing he then proceeds to tell me to prepare for trial while also recommending me to switch to any attorney from Willis Law Firm since they also have the power to appeal court decisions. In other words he is indirectly saying he doesn’t think he will win the trial or even cares to win it for me at all. So, while even more stressed about the whole situation during and after my hearing, I looked online under Willis Law Firm and something in my mind, heart, and gut told me to meet with Attorney Casey Cleaver and see how he feels about my case. Literally within the first 15 minutes of meeting him, he already showed me more respect than my previous attorney did the whole time I was under him. We look over my case and he also, in his gut, feels like he could easily win my case for me. As we come to that agreement, I decided to switch from my previous attorney to him. This I where I started to find out truly that Attorney Casey Cleaver was the real deal. We proceed with another motions hearing allowed by the judge since he asked for one as my new attorney. It did not go as perfectly as he expected but he knew no matter what evidence was suppressed or not suppressed that he could easily still win my case. We finally go to trial which lasted 3 days and every step was some of the most professional work of an attorney I have ever seen……I mean this was my first time dealing with a court case about me but just take my word for it lol. I was very anxious at the time and Mr Cleaver always found a way to keep my anxiety at a minimum with his cool, calm and collected demeanor. During the jury selection, he literally got some type of bio out of each possible jury member and actually made it kind of fun to select a jury. I swear it felt like a game that him and I were playing against the prosecutor for which he knew who the prosecutor was going to “strike out” and which jury members we had the best chance of getting. It was like as if it were a tutorial for an attorney game and he was my guide through it all as he thoroughly explained each step of the way. After the jury selection, we proceed for the next two days. During his opening statement, debate against the prosecutor and closing statement, it was easy to see that Casey Cleaver was hungry to win this case. He had both of the police witnesses and even the prosecutor stuttering and lost for words at times by the questions he asked them and how he called out ALL of their flaws dealing with their evidence against me. He found even the smallest to biggest flaws in both the police’s sobriety tests on me and even the mistakes in their reports on the situation. His closing argument was one that I believe everyone in that court room, even the prosecutor, could find it very hard to not accept and disagree with. We finally get to the verdict about an hour after the jury discusses all their opinions about my case. While I am sitting there nervous out of my mind next to Mr Cleaver, I could just see his confident anticipation for the verdict that he knows we are going to get. The representative of the jury slowly reads the verdict (it had my anxiety on 100% lol), he finally says “the jury finds that he is NOT GUILTY”. THE BEST EVER!!!!!

Thank you Mr.Cleaver !

"Casey Cleaver and his exceptional team deserve every accolade for their remarkable legal prowess. Facing serious charges, including a DUI, I turned to Casey for help, and it was the best decision I could have made. With his expert guidance and unwavering dedication, Casey managed to have two of my c...harges dismissed, with the DUI being the main one. His strategic approach, thorough preparation, and unparalleled commitment to my case were truly extraordinary. I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding outcome Casey achieved for me. If you're in need of legal representation, look no further than Casey Cleaver – he's simply the best in the business."

Great Service

Casey knows what he’s doing. I had a DUI case that wasn’t looking good. Casey worked his magic and I’m very happy with the way it turned out.

Best DUI Law Firm

So, this was my first time ever needing an Attorney. All I ever had was one speeding ticket and another traffic ticket. I was facing a pending DUI charge. So I Google DUI lawyers and Willis Law Firm was one of the firsts ones to pop up. I called and spoke with a very nice woman. She said that she wil...l get my info and have Mr. Willis reach out to me. After a few hours Mr. Willis called me and that initial consultation I had with him went so much better then I had expected. Mr. Willis made me feel very comfortable, he explained how the process worked, and he instilled a lot of confidence for me in his firms ability to handle DUI cases. He provided me his background in dealing with DUI cases and his knowledge with the whole process. He was also very familiar with Fulton County courts. I felt very comfortable at that point to go ahead and retain his firms services. I will also say that the cost was not as bad as I was expecting. I setup my payment plan and even the woman I spoke with to set my payment plan up was so helpful and she even made me feel comfortable. She assured me I was in very good hands and not to stress too much. Now for almost a year I did not really hear from anyone at the firm about my case, but also I had not heard anything from Fulton County courts. I say all of this because I read some of the reviews and some people were saying that they were not getting any communication from their appointed attorney. Please do not let any of those reviews deter you from obtaining their services. I learned that if there is no information coming from the court system. Then there is really nothing to report from the attorneys end. Now I did receive a call from a different attorney within the firm. He was introducing himself because he was taking over my case as my current attorney was leaving the firm. Right off the bat I got a great vibe from Casey. He had this confidence about him and again I felt completely comfortable. Then the time came. Casey called me and asked if I got the letter from Fulton County stating when my court date was. Of course I did not get that letter, but thanks to Casey he was all over it. I was a nervous wreck. Again, I had never been in trouble like this before. Every step from when Casey called me all the way up to the court date he made me feel comfortable and had full confidence in representing me and my case. Casey knocked it out of the park. He was on top of it. I am not exaggerating when I say Casey brought his A game. He guided me the whole way and he definitely knew what he was doing. His attitude the whole time helped me to calm my nerves. I write this long review to say. If you find yourself facing a DUI. I very much encourage you to choose Willis Law Firm. I also highly recommend asking if you can have Casey Cleaver as your attorney. All you need to do once you retain the services of Willis Law Firm is to trust in them and they will do the rest. The process may take a while, but you will be in very good hands.

Excellent Attorney!

Casey is amazing! He is very honest and straight to the point - which I really appreciated as we decided our plans throughout the case. He does tons of research and is extremely knowledgeable and prepared. This incident occurred in Cobb County. I was very worried being charged with a second DUI and ...my situation was messy and confusing at best. Casey worked his magic and was able to get the DUI charged dismissed, no jail time, no license suspension. I am so grateful for all the effort he put into this case! I cannot recommend Casey and the Willis Law Firm enough. I could not have asked for a better outcome.

"I endorse this lawyer. Casey is a very smart, hard working young lawyer. He is a superstar in the making. From what his boss tells me, he is the first in and last out at the office. In his first year of being a criminal defense lawyer he acquitted a client in a very complex family violence matter. He possesses a key trait for being a highly successful attorney; he has no fear. In his career so far he has handled hundreds of cases already including litigating many legal issues to the benefit of his clients. You cannot go wrong in hiring him. He will work extremely hard for the right result."
