Greg Willis: Who you want and who you need … PERIOD!!!

In last summer of 2014 I was arrested and given a ticket for DUI and hauled off to jail with my numbers being .135/.137. The next day I started investigating and found Attorney Greg Willis. I went and met with Mr. Willis that Monday. When I first met with Willis he sat me down and explained how th...e Breathalyzer machine REALLY works and his knowledge of it. He told me of his reputation and his full dedication to getting a reduction or even dropped all together. He explained every possible situation that could come about and was very clear about it. I knew exactly what we were working with. Without much hesitation I hired Mr. Willis. He went above and beyond what I ever expected a lawyer would do. He is very passionate about his job and his clients. There have been numerous times that he would call me on Saturdays or Sundays to provide the latest information. He stopped at nothing to fight every tooth and nail for me and my case. At the 1st final plea date the court was not considering anything less than my original charge. Afterwards, when we spoke discussing the plan moving forward, he made it clear I would not plead guilty. His exact words were “We are going to keep pushing. You didn’t hire me to receive a guilty plea!” Four days before my 2nd and final plea court date I was informed that my case was REDUCED to reckless driving! I was so relieved. At court that Monday not only the prosecutor, but the judge as well spoke of how diligent, skilled, and dedicated Mr. Willis was and that I was extremely fortunate for that. I believe it says A LOT for Mr. Willis to have stopped at nothing for my case. His hard work and knowledge in this area in exceptional. I am very grateful for every minute he worked for me. If you are looking around for an attorney or contemplating you can stop right here. THIS IS WHO YOU NEED AND WANT… No questions about it.

The Best DUI Lawyer You Will Find!

Unfortunately, I have needed Greg on three occasions for DUIs. He successfully negotiated reductions to reckless driving on two occasions and my third is currently pending. He is extremely knowledgeable and his advice and recommendations have been spot on. I would not want to face dui charges with...out Greg by my side. The saying "you get what you pay for" is definitely true in this case. I have refused to take the breathalyzer test and faced administrative suspension of my license on two occasions and had both administrative cases dismissed based on Greg's guidance. He has vast knowledge about all judges and prosecutors in the counties in which he practices and is able to make sound recommendations about how to proceed in every circumstance. I can't stress how wonderful Greg and Shay have been during some of the toughest times in my life. You won't find better representation!

Greg Willis: A man who renews your faith in the legal profession.

I must admit I have had the unfortunate pleasure of working with Greg on more than one occasion. Whether it was on my case, a member of my family’s case, a co-worker, or a friend, EVERY situation resulted in a win for his client. I don’t know how Greg finds the time to do it, but he gets it done! ...I consider myself to be a hard working and dedicated professional, but I pale in comparison to him. Greg is always going above and beyond to learn everything there is about the DUI laws or trying to change those same laws. Speaking of knowing everything, how about knowing almost everyone…from the prosecutors, the officers, and the judge? Well, he just happens to have that covered as well. One might think that he would not have time to go over the facts of the case or return a phone call for you, but again, I was amazed that did it all! I have simply never seen a better DUI lawyer…not even in the movies. It helps to have someone to make you feel comfortable during such an uncomfortable time. He knows his clients have so much to lose, which is why I have referred him to so many people, he does not lose. Relentless Wisdom!

Successful defense of three separate DUI cases with Greg Willis

I have had the privilege to have Mr. Greg Willis represent my DUI case three times over the course of several years. In all of the cases, Greg and his team have successfully defending my position by either having the case completely dismissed, or plead down to a lesser charge. Greg worked tirelessl...y on getting the best result possible my all three of my situations since they all varied drastically from location within the state of Georgia and the counties they occurred. Since each situation was unique, a different approach was needed to fight for the best possible outcome. He walked me through what seemed to be a myriad of pitfalls that could happen with my cases, and solutions on how to combat and/or avoid each problem within the case. There was no sugar coating that each of my cases might not turn out the way I would like, but he was honest and upfront about each case that made me feel that I had obviously made the right choice. There was a plan of action from the beginning that he either stuck with, or modified based on the courts position on each case allowing me to stay current on any/all items that needed to be addressed during all of my cases. In my opinion, Greg is the only counsel that you should have in fighting a DUI case. I have never seen so much effort and due diligence placed into a case that either may be large or small that he cannot handle. His expertise not only with the DUI laws is unmatched, but his ability to actually fight for your side of the case even if you feel that you have no chance of success. Facing charges over the years for DUI is no laughing matter and one that I have taken very seriously. It is one of the most embarrassing, depressing, and financially significant ordeals I have ever had to go through personally or professionally. Greg always made me feel that no matter what the outcome might be; that he was there to defend me at all cost and make sure that my side of the story was heard. It is comforting to know that someone has your back through one of the roughest times of your life in dealing with not one, not two, but three cases I have been involved with. Knowing you have the best attorney representing your DUI case gives you confidence in entering a court room that your case will have the best chance possible with Greg’s counsel. Entering a court room is gut-wrenching, intimidating, and frightening to any of us who find themselves having to do so. Greg’s experience and ability to understand all nuances related to DUI cases within the court room, only boosts your chances of success when all hope might appear to be lost. I am 100% confident that you should choose Greg Willis if you find yourself up against a pending DUI. Since I have been through this ordeal several times, it is no coincidence that through the shear hard work and knowledge base that Greg has defending DUIs I have been able to have the results I have had. I would whole-heartedly recommend Greg Willis to anyone facing such charges so that you can get the best possible counsel available and a fighting chance for your case.

Hardest Working and Most Persistent Lawyer in Georgia

I was arrested for DUI in 2009 because of an extremely high breath test. Greg Willis worked the case for five years to get my case dismissed. I interviewed three lawyers before Greg and nobody had a plan to attack the science like he did. I almost didn’t go to the interview with Greg and that wou...ld have been a terrible mistake. I figured all lawyers would defend cases the same. I was wrong. Greg has cases pending at both the Georgia Supreme Court and U.S. Supreme Court. Each time we went to court he was answering questions from the judge about Georgia law. Greg was always explaining to the judge the progress of his cases that were on appeal. The judge had a genuine interest in the progress of the appeals. I made many, many trips to court with Greg and he never gave up or complained. He was prepared for every question when in court. I cannot believe he pushed the case this far along to get the right result. His case pending at the U.S. Supreme Court is even two years older than mine. I decided I wanted to go discuss my case with Greg when I read that he spent four days in jail for contempt while fighting for his client. Then after he got out of jail, he won the case at trial. If you want someone willing to go the distance to win your case and that knows the law like nobody else, you should hire Greg Willis. My file was over a foot tall with documents Greg filed in my case. I cannot say enough to express my thanks to Greg for saving my job and my life.

"Greg is a rare type of lawyer that will relentless fight for his clients, even if the State is pulling punches and making it very difficult for him. He leads the charge in Georgia (with his Parker v. State appeal) in trying to acquire crucial "source code" data from breath-testing machine manufacturers. His fight affects not just his client, but ALL persons accused of DUI in Georgia. His noble attempt to level the playing field is commendable, and his dedication to clients is unmatched."
