Compassionate, efficient, and communicative

The decision to hire Mary Stanley Guerin for a DUI prescription medication case was clear after the initial consultation. She spent a thorough hour and a half reviewing details, documents I brought to her office, and establishing a clear narrative of the facts. She is straightforward, genuine, and e...thical, never promising an outcome, but also confident in her ability to advocate on her clients' behalf. As a professional myself in the same community, I also had the advantage of knowing on the way in she's well-respected in Central Georgia. As she handled my case, I could see how she earned this level of credibility. While I won't go into detail, I will say she worked out the best possible outcome, having a major long-term impact on many aspects of my personal life. Without hesitation, I would wholeheartedly recommend her services.

Exceptional Work!

Mary's experience in DUI law and incredible attention to detail is outstanding. I was charged with a DUI this past year and came to Mary extremely worried given the fact that having a DUI on my record would mean the end of my career. We ended up going to trail and Mary’s preparation and work during ...the trial was remarkable! I was acquitted and my career is back on track. Mary is very knowledge and showed great concern for my case at all times. She was always on top of deadlines, forms, and kept me informed as the case progressed. She is also very personable. I highly recommend her!

January - July of 2014

Mary is excellent. As soon as I could tell her about the charge presented against me, she wanted to know as many details about the incident as she could. Mary was thoroughly versed on information concerning DUI laws in Georgia and contiguous counties of Macon, including what stipulates a charge. Our ...communication was very easy, and if I needed to reach her, she was a phone call away. If I emailed her with new questions or information, she would always respond within 24 hours. More importantly, I received plenty of information regarding deadlines and Mary took care off all fees, paperwork, forms, and legal proceedings on time. I plead guilty to a lesser charge that Mary and I fought for and was extremely pleased with her process. I would be worse off having not consulted with Mary and feel that she is the reason for my success with winning my case against a devastating charge.

DUI /Court Representation

I had an accident on South I-75 in July,2012 that invovled a deer. I was charged with DUI by Bibb Co. Law Enforcement, my charge was questionable due to Trauma sustained from the wreck. I contacted a lawyer, Mike Chidester in Byron, Ga., that suggested Mary due in part that his case load was heavy at... the time and the nature of circumstances surrounding my pending charge would be suited to Mary's expertise and knowledge in this type of charge and circumstances. I spoke with Mary and set up a consultation with her. After meeting with Mary I was very impressed with her sudden response to defense and how the circumstances should be handled in the court room. Her knowledge, mind set, and personality in the court room all are very Professional. My charge was reduced to wreckless driving and now I can move on with peace of mind in knowing that the DUI is not hanging over my head Thanks to Mary and her Expert Representation of my Case. Thanks Very much Mary !

"Mary is my go-to referral for DUI clients in the greater Macon area. She was trained by the pre-eminent Macon DUI defense attorney Bob Daniel and took over his practice when he retired. She is a tough litigator who isn't afraid to take your case to trial. I highly recommend her services."

DUI and DWI lawyer | May 08

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I endorse this lawyer. She worked for me for some 10 years since her 2L year. Our firm was the first and maybe only one in Macon with a nearly 100% practice concentration in DUI defense. Mary learned quickly as I passed on to her 25 years experience defending against field sobriety tests and Georgia breath testing machines. She learned to utilize experts effectively and more importantly, how to win where client could not afford an expert. She won most trials outright, but the huge majority of her cases were reduced before trial, and not that many went to jury. I am quite comfortable leaving my Macon DUI defense legacy to her, as I retire. Mary is the lawyer whom some other Macon lawyers now call during trial for quick answers to questions which should have been addressed in the office pretrial, but who were too busy interviewing new clients to prepare trials for existing ones. At least one of those lawyers appear on the pages of this website."

DUI and DWI lawyer | Apr 24

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Mary was trained by Bob Daniel, one of Georgia's premier DUI defense attorneys for over 35 years. She has demonstrated --- time and again -- that she has a full command of criminal law and procedure, and she has the reputation for being willing to go to trial to wield the "clout" to get great results for her clients in DUI and criminal defense matters in central Georgia. I refer many cases in middle Georgia to Mary Guerin and her ex-DA husband, Chase Guerin."
