William C. Head, PC is staffed by lawyers in Atlanta who practice criminal defense and DUI law in both Superior Court and State Court

Our Atlanta attorneys handle mostly DUI defense cases (alcohol and drugs) but also are experienced criminal defense attorneys Atlanta, for other felony and misdemeanor crimes. We handle cases like marijuana possession, felony drug possession, domestic violence, theft offenses, embezzlement and serious traffic offenses (felony and misdemeanor) such as:

• Vehicular homicide (misdemeanor and felony)
• Serious injury (by vehicle, when either reckless driving or DUI)
• Hit and run (after a hit and run accident, not staying at the scene to assume that injured parties get help) [misdemeanor or felony]
• Attempting to elude police (misdemeanor or felony)
• Aggressive driving
• Reckless driving (reckless driving in GA is a 4-point violation)
• Driving with a suspended license (driving on suspended license carries a jail sentence)
• DUI child endangerment in Georgia

Our DUI Law Firm Handles Felony and Misdemeanor Crimes

So, while our criminal defense lawyers are acting as DUI lawyers for 90% of our criminal cases, our criminal defense trial skills permit us to also handle related felony DUI accident offenses, like hit and run or attempting to elude a police officer. We handle between 45 and 65 felony cases annually, which helps us remain up-to-date on changes in prosecutors and new judges.

A DUI Accident Can Be Charged as a Misdemeanor or Felony

Plus, when another person dies in a Georgia DUI (homicide by vehicle), or where another person suffers serious bodily injury resulting from a DUI accident in GA, felony charges usually follow. When this happens, a case is no longer booked in a municipal court, recorder’s court or probate court. These are all non-jury, misdemeanor courts that lack subject matter jurisdiction to hear any felony DUI or similar cases. Even a State Court cannot preside over a felony, despite having jury trial jurisdiction over misdemeanor crimes.

So, our Atlanta-based criminal justice attorneys benefit from having criminal law experience beyond just defending misdemeanor DUI-alcohol and DUI drugs cases. Therefore, all three of our partners at our DUI law firm are ready and willing to represent citizens accused of crimes anywhere in Georgia, when the objective is to fight criminal charges.
