Prosecutors Respect Relentless Lawyers who Seek a Reduction of Charges. Criminal defense/DUI attorneys in Georgia (and other states) measure “effectiveness” by certain objective standards. Courtroom victories are an important yardstick of a trial lawyer’s success because prosecutors and trial judges pay attention to which GA attorneys regularly achieve case dismissals or acquittals of criminal charges at trial. Even when the jury does not acquit on all charges, a good battle by a well-prepared defense attorney will “signal” the prosecution that this is an advocate who won’t quit working for his or her clients, and who will push a case all the way to the end of a 2 or 3 day jury trial to try to achieve victory for his or her clients.
Prosecutors Spread the Word about Which Attorneys Fight to the Bitter End.
Criminal defense lawyers who do not hesitate to demand trial for his or her clients earn the respect and the “caution” of the opposing prosecuting attorney. In Georgia, you have a right to jury trial in EVERY traffic offense case, from speeding to DUI. These GA prosecutors talk to others in their offices about the skills of such zealous advocates. Broadening that “word-of-mouth” reputation for skillful fighting, Georgia prosecutors all attend an annual summer seminar hosted by a State agency that oversees prosecutor training, and the word about the best trial attorneys spreads to many more prosecutors at these meetings. Our attorneys’ trials, appeals and innovative attacks on the State’s evidence and witnesses have been specifically mentioned in dozens of these training programs. Due to this reputation for relentless pursuit of acquittals, in hundreds of cases, our attorneys have secured reductions or dismissal of charges at the beginning stages of the trial, long before a jury has had to decide guilt or innocence.
