Great Lawyer!

I touched base with the Morris & Dean Law Firm after several failed attempts to close this case with two previous repidable Atanta based criminal attorneys. I was driving up to Detrout MI from Los Angeles CA to visit relatives. I stopped off for a few beers along the way in GA and that's were my tr...oubles began. I was charged with hit and run, open container, and a warrant was issued for failure to appear. I was facing jail time, heavy fines, and the loss of my CDL because I am a commercial truck driver. Attorney, Brandon Sparks of Morris & Dean worked varocously on my case. He managed to get the charges reduced to a non-driving charge and have the other charges dismissed which saved my trucking career. He was also able to get my case miraculously settled in absentia, without me having to fly back to GA. He was an excellent attorney, and this is an A-1 firm to hire if you land yourself in a bad legal situation.

I hired Brandon about 7 months ago when I wrecked my truck. I was arrested and charged DUI and Failure to maintain lane. When we went to court Brandon was able to get my charges reduced down to a reckless driving and failure to maintain lane. He had a lot of eagerness and drive that really help me ou...t.

"Mr. Sparks has, without a doubt, the sharpest legal mind I've been lucky enough to encounter. I have witnessed his success firsthand on many occasions, and I have been fortunate enough to personally benefit from his legal advice. He is a fountain of legal knowledge, and he has worked tirelessly to successfully defend those who cannot defend themselves. There is no case too complex; Mr. Sparks will pick it apart to find every last shred of viable defense theory. If I or a close friend/family member needed legal help, I would not hesitate to go to Mr. Sparks."

"Brandon is a top notch criminal defense and appellate lawyer. He is one of the brightest and sharpest lawyers in Georgia, and he has obtained favorable results in some very tough cases. One of the most important qualities you want in a lawyer is knowledge of the law, and Brandon is unmatched in this area."

Relationship: Co-worker

"I give the highest endorsement for Brandon Sparks. Despite his quiet and calm demeanor, he is a fierce advocate who cares deeply for the cause of each and every one of his clients. His passion for his clients is rivaled only by the thoroughness and work-ethic which he applies to every case, big or small. If there is an issue in the case, he will find it. He is as effective at trial as he is on appeal - and that cannot be understated. He's one of the brightest appellate lawyers I've come across and is responsible for the creation of some very good, fair, and just case law in only 10 years of practice. The sky is the limit for Brandon."
