He is such a sweetheart, he helped me out a lot. He didn’t let me worry about a thing, handled everything so professionally and in good timing ! Thank you so much !
This was my second time using Chris. Both cases were DUI charges with the usual hand full of other charges that go hand in hand with DUI charges. Both times he was able to have the charges either dropped completely or have them reduced to a lesser offending charge. To say that I am satisfied with his services is an understatement. In the most recent case, I was facing a felony charge that would have caused me a lot of problems for many years. He was able to get this charge reduced to a misdemeanor thus saving me a ton of money but more importantly a ton of time (no pun intended). Chris & his paralegal, as well as the rest of his staff, were very professional & always willing to help me when I needed help. They always answered the phone and/or responded to emails in a prompt manner. This was very comforting knowing that I could email them a question & expect an answer within 24hrs or less. More times than not, they would respond immediately within an hour or two of me sending the email. So, if you have a pending DUI charge, do not hesitate to call Chris now & retain him as your lawyer. You will not be disappointed!

Extremely Helpful
Mr. Ambrose was a tremendous help for my husband who had never faced any charges before and I was at a loss as to how to help. Fortunately I found Mr. Ambrose's name and both he and Marlaina were very kind and helpful. Mr. Ambrose took the time to explain what to expect and we were very grateful for his help and the outcome of the case.

Quick, professional, kind, and caring!!
Mr. Ambrose and his team were amazing to work with. When we had questions about information we would receive from the court Mr. Ambrose was quick to respond and he was always reassuring. When it came time to discus a plea deal he spoke in a frank, objective manner which allowed my son time to think about options. He was present in the court room and honest about the process. Thank you for the positive outcome!!

Amazing Outcome!
Mr. Ambrose and his team worked out an amazing outcome for my case! Aggravated DUI, failure to maintain lane, and due care was reduced to Driving too fast for conditions. The outcome of this case was to determine my job and entire career in one swoop. However, Chris advised me to do the work to better myself, which I did, and convinced the courts to reduce this to a non-criminal offense. I never imagined this was even possible. This was the answer to many months of prayer and work. God is certainly working through this man!

Chris Ambrose is the best!
Chris Ambrose was my lawyer for a reckless driving charge. I was so impressed with the way he was so patient and explained things to me in a way that I could comprehend, due to this being my first time in court. He stayed in contact with me and updated me on my case. Most all all, he handled my case in a very timely manner. His office staff was so positive and helpful each time I stopped by or called. Highly recommend Mr. Ambrose for anyone needing a lawyer. He is the best!

Amazing Lawyer
I was charged with DUI, Failure to Maintain Lane, Headlight Requirement, and Open Container. I was searching for lawyer in the area and I found Mr. Ambrose. I knew I made a mistake and I needed help. Mr. Ambrose managed to get me consequences I could live with and keep pushing towards my career. Honestly, if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t know where would I be. Mr. Ambrose is amazing and I highly recommend him over anyone else! I can’t thank him and his team enough. He was a true blessing to me and my family!

Swift and professional
I received a ticket for causing an accident that I felt was unjustified. I was terrified of losing my nursing license, decreasing my credit and the horrible insurance increase. I met with Chris and left the office knowing he had my back. I didn't have to fight the ticket alone. Hiring Chris was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Piece of mind is priceless.

DUI dropped to Reckless
I had an incident where I was speeding and given a DUI for alcohol despite passing the field tests, I refused the breath test and was placed in handcuffs, after bond I contacted my attorney Mr. Ambrose. He was able to drop my speeding ticket and reduce the DUI charge to a Reckless Driving offense. 40 hours community service which I just payed minimum wage, court fine, dui class online that took 2 hours, and that it. I had a lot to lose being convinced of a DUI. I’m very glad I chose this law firm.

Worked a miracle for me in a Short time frame
I was arrested for hitting a mailbox and not stopping. I had recently applied for my board of nursing license to transfer over when all this happened. So I was looking at losing my career too but Mr. Ambrose had the case thrown out and my nursing license are safe.

The Best
Mr Ambrose represented my son in a DUI case and quite honestly it was the best experience I have had in my 63 years with an attorney. He was honest, competent, straightforward, and very easy to communicate with. Added to that is a great support group around him at his firm.

I was charged with DUI, open container and failure to yield at an intersection. Mr. Ambrose was able to have the DUI reduced to reckless driving and the other charges dropped. I couldn’t have ask for a better attorney. His staff was always very helpful and made the process go as smoothly as possible. I would highly recommend Chris Ambrose.

Couldn’t be more satisfied
I was recently charged with DUI and misdemeanor poss of marijuana in Boston Ga. I called a friend back home that works for a lawyer there she asked him who he recommended for a dui in my area. Chris Ambrose was his number one recommendation. I went and spoke with his daughter she told me the fees and process and I put my trust in them. I was actually happy with the price I think all the fees were fair. I was more pleased with what he got my charges down to. Too fast for conditions! That’s awesome in my opinion to go from dui and poss to too fast for conditions. If you have legal problems and you need help. I would at least stop by for a consultation. This was by far the easiest process I’ve ever went through. I’ve had to hire a lawyer for similar things incidents in the past and when we got to court I honestly felt like I paid for nothing. But with Ambrose it was worth the money I never stepped foot in a court room for these charges.

GODSEND. Saved my life!
I was facing dui charges along with speeding and open container OUT OF STATE. Never been in trouble before and was terrified of having of a dui on my record. One in-person court date and Mr Ambrose was able to reduce my charges to just reckless driving. Saved my license and my sanity. Potentially long process that only took a few hours to resolve thanks to his hard work. I would definitely recommend him!!!
