DUI

He was great and very knowledgable. He was calm and kept me at ease throughout the whole process. I hope I never have to use him again but if I have a need I will definitely call him.

Provided stellar legal guidance and representation

If I could have designed the ideal legal services for this DUI case, it would look a lot like what Lee provided. He knows DUI law in Georgia backwards and forwards and was able to give answers to my myriad questions on the spot, whether in person or via phone and email. As soon as I initiated conta...ct with the firm, the ball started rolling. He immediately took action to preserve my driving privileges and moved swiftly to initiate contact with prosecutors and negotiate with them. Less than two months after my arrest, my case has been resolved to my satisfaction and I can now move on with my life. Lee is extremely professional and understanding; he even helped guide me through answering job application questions regarding criminal history as my case progressed. If you want a lawyer to do a top notch job at getting you the best legal outcome, explain to you what each step in the legal process means, and keep you informed whenever any material events unfold, Lee is definitely the person you should have in your corner. I really cannot recommend him enough.

DUI and DWI lawyer | Apr 11

Relationship: Co-worker

"Lee was my law clerk before he joined my firm. He helped me write the Georgia DUI Trial Practice Manual, when I self-published it. He is possibly the best lawyer for handling a bench trial in a DUI case that I have every watched "in action." An officer who is unprepared for the machine-gun speed cross-examination that is about to occur very much resembles a squirrel trying to cross a busy expressway. His recent industry recognition as a Super Lawyer is well-deserved and long overdue."

"Lee is a very creative lawyer who can do serious damage to the State at a bench trial. Lee has worked with the very best law firm in the Southeastern U.S.. Lee has a very keen way of presenting a difficult issue to a judge and jury. Lee is a little more expensive than some lawyers because he has literally hundreds of wins and dismissals. Pay a little more for the very best results. gus"

DUI and DWI lawyer | May 14

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Lee Webb is fearless. I have watched him try cases with just a judge (bench trial) and with a jury. You have to know the nuances of the courtrooms to be able to take a chance on a bench trial in front of some of our judges. Lee was doing that 10 or 15 years ago; before I had the sense to assess the situation and figure out which judge to trust with a trial and which judge needs to have a jury between him and the defendant. Lee has an uncanny ability to figure it out. He is a partner in a large DUI defense law firm, and enjoys the support of his staff and the other lawyers there. I would trust Lee to try any DUI case. That is... If you can't get me to do it. C."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
