Awesome DUI Attorney

I was charged with a DUI and reckless driving in a metro Atlanta county. I searched google and found Greg's law firm based on good reviews. Greg was able to get my case totally dismissed with absolutely no charges. This outcome was far better than I ever could have imagined. Based on the circumst...ances of my case, I believe Greg was able to implement a strategy that many or most attorneys would not have even known or attempted to argue in pursuit of a favorable outcome. I highly recommend Greg and his staff and I believe Greg has to be among the best DUI defense attorneys in the Southeast.

Greg Willis best DUI lawyer

I was charged with a DUI in a north metro Atlanta county, and the first thing that happened when I bonded out of jail was to call Greg Willis. He is a colleague of my father in a different capacity. There are many reasons that he is possibly the best DUI defense attorney in Georgia and the SE USA..., and one of those reasons is how he has won at the Ga Supreme Court with the appellate process related to Ga DUI law. My case was successfully pled to a lesser charge than a DUi, and I was very pleased with the overall outcome. I highly recommend Greg and his staff.

Amazing Lawyer hands down!

I had been wrongfully convicted of a DUI, I had been fighting since 2017 with my other lawyer, Mr.Willis came in and within a month got my case dismissed!!! I have my life back, I have job opportunities that I couldn't seek before with these charges over my head. I can finally breathe again! Highly ...recommend Mr.Willis! Thank you!

Posted by McKenzie | April 03, 2023 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Thank you Greg Willis!

Greg Willis is truly the best of the best! He has represented myself, and a number of my friends. In all cases, not one person was convicted of a DUI. I have never been faced with something more than a small traffic violation, so how to handle a DUI was not something I was familiar with. However, his... firm was there to answer any and all questions I had regarding my case so I was able to feel comfortable and secure throughout the entire process. I will be continuing to refer anyone I know in need of the best attorney available to Willis Law Firm.

Greg Willis is an excellent lawyer. He works long hours and fights like a bulldog to get the most favorable outcome. He is ruthless in the chess game he plays moving your case through the court phases. His trial preparation is so brilliant that he forces the state’s hand to negotiate a favorable plea.... He knows case law very well and will not hesitate to take your case to the Supreme Court, if necessary. He is simply a brilliant lawyer.

"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."
