Whether you were arrested last night or received a court date weeks ago, our team can meet with you at this office to discuss your case and your options under Georgia law.

Location and Directions: Peachtree Center

Our downtown Atlanta office is located in the Peachtree Center complex on Peachtree Street, one of the most recognizable and accessible locations in the city.

Clients can reach the office two ways:

• By car: Parking is available in the Peachtree Center garages. Drive to 235 Peachtree St NE and use the garage entrances within the Peachtree Center complex.
• By MARTA: The office has direct access from the Peachtree Center MARTA station. This makes the office easy to reach without a car – an important advantage for clients whose licenses may be suspended or restricted after a DUI arrest.

Many of our clients face license issues tied to Georgia's administrative license suspension process. Being on a direct MARTA line means you do not need to rely on someone else for a ride to meet with your attorney.

Courts We Serve From the Downtown Atlanta Office

This office is positioned to serve clients with cases in two of the most active court systems near downtown Atlanta.

Atlanta Municipal Court

Atlanta Municipal Court is located at 150 Garnett St SW, about a mile from our office. City of Atlanta DUI cases are arraigned here. If you need a DUI attorney near Atlanta Municipal Court, or a criminal defense attorney for related charges, our downtown office is a natural fit.

At arraignment in Atlanta Municipal Court, DUI defendants typically make their initial appearance before a judge. In most cases, the judge will read the charges, ask the defendant to enter a plea, and set bond conditions. Bond conditions in DUI cases may include restrictions on alcohol use, installation of an ignition interlock device, or other requirements depending on the facts of the case.

Arraignment is often a defendant's first contact with the court system. Having a defense lawyer present at this stage can make a meaningful difference in how bond conditions are set and how the case moves forward.

Fulton County Courthouse Complex

The Fulton County courthouse complex on Pryor Street is also close to our downtown office. Fulton County Superior Court and State Court handle state-level DUI and criminal cases. DUI charges that arise in unincorporated Fulton County or that are bound over from municipal court are prosecuted here.

Our firm's familiarity with Fulton County court procedures – from motions calendars to pretrial conferences – allows us to guide clients through the process with confidence.

DUI and Criminal Defense Cases Handled at This Office

The downtown Atlanta office handles the same range of cases our firm has defended for decades across Georgia. Our core practice areas include:

• DUI defense (alcohol-based): Charges under Georgia's DUI statute for driving with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher, or while under the influence to the extent it is less safe to drive.
• DUI drugs: Defense of charges involving prescription medications, marijuana, illegal substances, or a combination of drugs and alcohol. These cases often turn on the reliability of drug recognition evaluations and toxicology results.
• Related criminal defense matters: DUI arrests frequently lead to additional charges. We handle possession, reckless driving, open container violations, hit and run, and related traffic offenses that arise alongside DUI cases.

If you need a criminal defense lawyer downtown Atlanta residents can reach quickly, this office is designed to meet that need. In our experience defending DUI cases in Atlanta Municipal Court and Fulton County courts, early preparation is one of the most important factors in building a strong defense. Evidence can be lost, witnesses' memories fade, and administrative deadlines pass quickly.

Every case is different. Outcomes depend on the specific facts, the evidence the state can present, and the legal strategies available. We evaluate each case individually and give clients an honest assessment of their options.

Our Other Atlanta-Area Offices

In addition to the downtown Atlanta office, William C. Head, PC maintains offices in Sandy Springs, Marietta, and Alpharetta. These locations serve clients throughout metro Atlanta and the surrounding counties.

Clients can choose the office most convenient to them or closest to the court where their case is pending. A DUI arrest in Cobb County may be best served from our Marietta office, while a case in Fulton County State Court may make the downtown or Sandy Springs location the better choice. Call us and we will help you determine which location works best for your situation.

Schedule a Free Consultation at Our Downtown Atlanta Office

Consultations at our downtown Atlanta office are scheduled by phone. Call (404) 567-5515 to arrange a meeting.

The consultation is free. You will speak with a defense attorney who can evaluate your charges, explain what to expect in court, and outline the defense strategies that may apply to your case.

Time matters in Georgia DUI cases. After a DUI arrest, you have a limited window to request a hearing on the administrative license suspension of your driving privileges. Missing Georgia's ALS deadline could mean losing your license before your criminal case even begins. The sooner you call, the more options you may have.

If your case is in Atlanta Municipal Court or Fulton County, our downtown office puts you within minutes of the courthouse. Call (404) 567-5515 today to schedule your free consultation and start building your defense.
