Drago Cepar Jr.

Drago reached out to us as a collective initially after the January 6 arrests in Atlanta, Georgia. This being my first arrest, I was incredibly worried about having to pay fees after being arrested for simply walking on the sidewalk. Drago was incredibly reassuring and helpful, and by the time it cam...e for our court hearings, mine was already dropped before I even made it inside! He's excellent at his job, and I hope if anything in the future comes to happen to be able to rely on him once again!

Hiring a lawyer isn’t just about dealing with your case. That’s important, yes. But you also hire a lawyer because you’re scared, because you don’t have the knowledge to manage the situation you’re facing, because you need someone to be ON YOUR SIDE. If you’re facing charges related to exercising... your civil rights, there is no lawyer in Atlanta who will advocate for you and fight on your side like Drago will. As a volunteer with protester legal defense, I’ve had the privilege of meeting many of the lawyers who defend people who are arrested for protesting or exercising free speech. Of the many (truly great!) lawyers I’ve met, not one of them believes so deeply in the cause of his clients and stands up for them 200% like Drago does. I’ve never met a lawyer as quick to respond to an email, to answer a question, and to strategize how to not only win your defense but to demonstrate how your case was a violation of your constitutional rights. That’s why, when I was arrested at a protest, I knew Drago was the lawyer I wanted for my own case. Sure enough, so far all my charges AND those of my co-defendants have been dropped.

In my experience, Drago Cepar, Jr. has repeatedly provided exceptional representation in both criminal and civil cases. For instance, after police attacked and violently arrested me on illegitimate charges, Drago built a solid case and secured a considerable settlement despite the laws and institutio...ns that typically shield police from any accountability. I have worked with several skilled attorneys, and Drago stands out as someone who is extremely attentive, generous with his time, and sincerely eager to help clients navigate complicated legal issues.
