SECOND DUI ** NOT GUILTY

I highly recommend this attorney he's caring and compassionate. He keeps you abreast of what's going on, always available, is timely, and always shows up for court. Last year June 2016 me and a friend was in a park after hours ..had 2 bottles of liquor in the car. Police had set up a "roadblock" As ...I pulled up to the officer, my friend who was seated in the backseat started vomiting. They pull me out the car and arrest me for DUI...they say I blew a .16 they also say I refused the state administered breathalyzer We went to court a few times. At one of the hearings he got the breath test threw out because my Miranda rights werent read. Today was jury trial The state tried to use my friend as their witness and went so far as to calling in the DUI officer who arrested me in 2012. The officer said my car was jerking, my eyes wouldn't focus, and speech was slow and slurred. After Gabe Winters went to work on my case the Verdict comes back Not Guilty to DUI. I walked away with only an open container citation. I'm so thankful! Thank you Gabe!

DUI Charge

Mr.Gabriel Winters represented me in a recent DUI case. I read so many great reviews on his services, but most of all, what won me over in choosing him to represent my case, were the reviews of his character traits. Gabe, is a dedicated, hard working and sympathetic Lawyer to the needs of his client.... I am a witness. I was petrified, after being charged with a DUI and other things. I thought my career, driving record and reputation would be ruined for life. I was able to walk out of that court room with everything reduced to one charge, Reckless driving. My nerves were wrecked once charged with a DUI, but Mr.Winters was very patient, and informative. He reassured me every step of the way to expect nothing less than a good outcome. I was so overwhelmed when searching for a good lawyer, I went to 7 different consultations, all of which wanted to charge me a OUTRAGEOUS amount, and wanted the full amount UP FRONT. Not only did Gabe character traits stand out, but also the fact that he was willing to work with me. I was able to work out a payment plan that worked for my family and I. Most of the Lawyers that I consulted with explained that I would possibly face jail time and a revocation of my license. Neither of which happened. After the arrest for DUI charge, my license was taken from me, but Mr.Winters was able to get it back, and in good standing right away. I never had a issue reaching him on his personal cell phone. He was very informative on what my options were in the case. He was there every step of the way. Mr.WInters wrote a letter on my behalf to my job, when the DUI showed up during a random background check at my job. My employer was very concerned due to the charge and lack of detailed information that is not included on a "Internet Search or Background check online" Mr. Winters was able to provide specific information on my behalf which resulted in me being able to remain at my place of employment. On the day of court, the Lieutenant and a few other Lawyers who were present in the court room (who heard my case in front of judge) greeted me and commended me on my Lawyer, They said, and I quote, "Ma'am, you have one heck of a Lawyer that can come in to this court room and have all those charges, especially, the DUI reduced to a Reckless Driving" (I live in a very small town) far from where Mr.Winters office is based, so if you live a distance, do not hesitate to reach out.) He never missed a court date, when I needed to reschedule, he did so without any issues, and he was always on time. I would recommend Mr.Winters services to anyone who is in search of someone who is going to take the time to listen to your concerns and work hard on your behalf. Mr. Winters was God sent. He saved my career, my reputation, and my life. A DUI is a very serious charge.I am so satisfied and relieved that it is over. I wish you all the very best in your outcome. If you are reading this review, I wholeheartedly believe that God sent you here to receive nothing short of a miracle. Good Luck. Thank you Mr.Winters for all your hard work and dedication to my case.

best lawyer

I hired Mr. Winters after I got a dui. He told me about the 10 day period You have to send In a request to keep your license. He took care of that for me and I had no problems. Also gave me a to do list that would help me down the road. I did all the things he told me to and gave them to him to tak...e to court. Therre he did a wonderful job of getting my dui reduced to reckless driving even though I blew a .18. Like pulling a rabbit out of a hat. I am eternally grateful to him as I did not have to do jail time , get a limited license or have to see a probation officer. I would recommend Mr Winter to anyone I ever hear of getting a dui. He is the best. Thanks to him I can get on with my life in a normal way.

DUI Reduced & Tickets Dropped - Amazing Attorney!!!

After being charged with a DUI I was very fortunate to obtain the services of Mr. Winters. From the first phone call he was very easy to talk to, explained everything that I was about to go through and now looking back he knew exactly what it would take to get my DUI reduced to reckless driving in a...ddition to getting my tickets dropped. After speaking with him and getting instructions on what I needed to do based on what the Prosecutor/Court would require he honestly made the process so seamless that I almost forgot it was going on. He was very responsive to all of my calls but again he handled absolutely every aspect of the case which made my level of stress basically zero. I don't live in Alpharetta so he even made it possible for me to only have to come to court one time. He fought for me and his expertise in the this situation afforded me the opportunity to have the DUI charge reduced to Reckless Driving. Considering I work in Corporate America this was certainly a career saver. I don't plan to be in this situation again but I would highly recommend anyone who is in a DUI situation to use Mr. Gabriel Winters as their attorney!!!!

DUI reduced

When I first got arrested for an underage DUI, I was terrified and had no idea what to do. My whole future was on the line. Mr. Winters made me feel tremendously better from the start, explaining in detail what was going to happen and the steps I needed to take. He was available to answer any questio...ns I had at all times. Mr. Winters got my DUI got reduced to reckless driving, and I couldn't be more thankful for all of his help through this. He literally saved my future and career and I would highly recommend him to anyone!
