You don’t always need a trial lawyer, but when you do, you’ll be glad you have Hawkins Spizman working for you. DUI Defense Driving Under the Influence (DUI) is a misdemeanor offense in most instances. Yet the penalties and consequences of a drunk driving conviction go far beyond just having to pay a fine, as is the case with most misdemeanor crimes. You can lose your driver’s license, you can lose your job, and you can lose your professional license as well. A DUI can turn your life upside down from four months to five years, depending on your driving record. It doesn’t have to be that way. There are many ways the police can get it wrong when they pull you over, arrest you, or test you for intoxication. With Hawkins Spizman as your trial team, you’ll have access to a nationally Board Certified DUI expert who can evaluate the facts, identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, and help you keep your driver’s license, stay out of jail, and avoid the worst consequences that often follow a DUI arrest for someone without superior legal representation. Criminal Defense Hawkins Spizman handles the full range of Atlanta misdemeanor and felony offenses, from traffic tickets and property damage to sexual assault and manslaughter. As a person accused of a crime, you have constitutional rights to ensure you are treated fairly, including the right to remain silent and have an attorney represent you. When you exercise these rights that are guaranteed to you, you put yourself in the best position for a positive outcome. There is no reason to put yourself at the mercy of the prosecutor and judge when you could have an experienced criminal law attorney on your side who is knowledgeable, skilled and dedicated to getting you the best result. Our Atlanta criminal lawyers have amassed a long string of cases where we achieved outstanding results for our clients, whether that outcome was getting charges dismissed, securing a not guilty verdict at trial, or negotiating favorable terms that allowed our clients to move forward with a productive and successful life and put the charges behind them. It all begins with a call to Hawkins Spizman, where we offer a free case review to let you know your options and how we can best help resolve the problem you are facing. Personal Injury Representation When you’ve been injured because of another’s negligence or misconduct, Georgia law allows you to recover compensation for your medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering from the negligent party. Unfortunately, the burden falls on you to prove the other party’s negligence and liability to you, and the insurance companies on the hook to pay a settlement or judgment sometimes fight tooth and nail to avoid paying what they should. They deny their insured was negligent and say your injuries were caused by some other accident, or they’ll even dispute that you are hurt as bad as they say you are. They are also likely to accuse you of being the negligent one or at least partially at fault. This trick reduces the amount they have to pay and can even get them out of paying altogether. You need a lawyer on your side who knows all the insurance company tricks and has the skills and experience to hold them accountable. At Hawkins Spizman, we have represented victims of car, truck and motorcycle accidents on Georgia roads from low-speed fender benders to high-speed crashes causing serious injuries. We put every case on a litigation footing to secure the best settlement or go to trial when needed. Call our office for a free case evaluation after an Atlanta motor vehicle accident, slip and fall premises liability accident, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, or other personal injury. We take cases on a contingency fee basis and advance all costs. We only charge a fee after we are successful in recovering compensation for you, so it costs you nothing upfront to afford high-quality legal representation for your Atlanta personal injury claim.
