The Chestney-Hawkins Law Firm is exclusively dedicated to fighting DUI cases. Many attorneys claim to be DUI defense lawyers, but they simply handle guilty pleas. Although most cases do not have to go all the way to trial, we take every case with the attitude that we will go to trial if necessary to avoid a wrongful DUI conviction.

Furthermore, unlike most attorneys who advertise as DUI lawyers, The Chestney-Hawkins Law Firm doesn't defend murder, robbery or sex crimes; we don't handle divorces or bankruptcies - we only defend DUI cases (and related charges such as vehicular homicide). Our entire office is geared toward this specialized area of the law.

Each of our lawyers is specially trained and educated in the unique aspects of DUI defense, and devotes almost 100% of his or her practice to this area. Our lawyers are either attending or speaking at DUI defense seminars several times every year. We are the only law firm in Georgia, and one of only two in the entire country, with two lawyers who are Board Certified by the National College of DUI Defense.

Our lawyers have also been recognized by their peers as outstanding in their field.  In polls conducted exclusively with Georgia attorneys, Bob Chestney and Mike Hawkins are the only two lawyers in the state having been selected as Georgia Super Lawyers® every year in the limited area of DUI/DWI Defense.  In addition, Marny Heit and Meka Ward were both named as Georgia Super Lawyers® Rising Stars in 2005.

While our offices are conveniently located in the Buckhead area of Atlanta, we defend DUI cases all over the northern half of Georgia.
