Marietta Criminal Defense & DUI Attorney | Carlton Legal Group | 770.858.5818
If you've been arrested for DUI in Cobb, Douglas, Paulding or Polk County or anywhere in Metro Atlanta, the prosecutor across the courtroom is building a case against you right now. Wouldn't you rather have someone on your side who used to be that prosecutor?
Attorney Matt Carlton spent 15 years as a prosecutor, handling over 10,000 cases ranging from murder to driving under the influence. He knows exactly how the State builds a DUI case! Which means he knows where those cases fall apart. Now he puts that experience to work defending people like you.
A DUI charge does not have to define your future. But the decisions you make in the first 30 days can determine whether you keep your license, your job, and your record.

This is the part most people don't realize until it's too late.
When you're arrested for DUI in Georgia, your criminal case and your driver's license are two completely separate matters. The Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) can suspend your license through an administrative process — even before you're ever convicted of anything.
Under Georgia's implied consent law, you have just 30 days from your arrest to either request an Administrative License Suspension (ALS) hearing or pursue an ignition interlock device permit. Miss that deadline, and your license can be automatically suspended for up to a full year, with no work permit if you refused testing.
Thirty days goes by fast. The clock is already running. Contact us immediately so we can file your appeal in time and fight to keep you on the road.
Carlton Legal Group handles every type of DUI and impaired-driving case in Georgia, including:
No matter the charge, the worst thing you can do is nothing. The State is already working to prosecute you. Let's start building your defense today.
A DUI arrest is not a conviction. The State has to prove their case! There are many parts of a DUI investigation where mistakes can be made. As a former prosecutor, we review every detail, and we know what to look for:
We investigate every angle, challenge the State's evidence, and use aggressive negotiation and trial experience to pursue the best possible outcome! Whether that's a dismissal, a reduction to the charge, or an acquittal at trial.
A traffic ticket might feel minor, but in Georgia, points on your license add up fast. This can effect your insurance premiums. Some violations carry the risk of license suspension, fines, and even jail time. We defend clients against:
In Georgia a Nolo Plea (Nolo Contendere) does not mean not guilty, sometimes the consequences are same as a guilty plea.
You can only use a Nolo Plea once every five (5) years
Before you simply pay a ticket and accept the points, talk to us.
Paying a ticket online or in person is a guilty plea!!! It may cost you far more than the fine.
When your license, your job, and your freedom are at stake, experience makes all the difference.
Every day you wait is a day the State gets ahead of you. Contact Carlton Legal Group now for a free consultation and let a former prosecutor start building your defense.
