Caring Criminal Lawyer Providing DUI Defense in Atlanta Since 1991

Have you dealt with lawyers who never answer your questions or return your calls? I am attorney Tom Barton and I can understand your frustration. I make it a point to communicate frequently with my clients. In fact, I put my cell phone number on my business card so that if you have an emergency you can get in touch with me. Since 1991, I have been providing dedicated, caring legal representation to people in the Atlanta, Georgia area.

I care and want to help you get through your difficult times. Contact my office or call 770-961-7400 for a free initial phone consultation. Do not rely on doing your own research on the Internet or elsewhere. It is imperative that you speak with a licensed attorney for accurate advice and competent representation.

Defending people against driving under the influence (DUI), drug crimes, assault and domestic violence charges and other felonies and misdemeanors

I take pride in providing straightforward and honest advice to my clients. I will not oversell you on what you need to do. My goal as your defense lawyer is to help you move on with your life as quickly as possible. I strive to offer advice that will help you do just that.

I understand that for most people being stopped for a DUI or charged with a crime is a devastating event. Many of my clients come in depressed, thinking they are going to lose everything. This does not have to be the case. There can be a future after an arrest. You can turn your life around.

My Atlanta law firm represents clients in the following areas of law:

DUI Defense: You may be wondering "Why Do I Need an Attorney for my DUI?" The potential penalties for even a first time DUI charge are severe. The stakes are even higher if you have multiple DUI offenses. People under the age of 21 who plead guilty to an underage DUI offense can be haunted by a criminal conviction for the rest of their lives. I can also help if you were arrested for DUI after a NASCAR race.

In addition to providing a strong defense in criminal court, I can help you in your administrative hearing related to suspension of your driver's license following a drunk driving arrest.

Criminal Defense: My criminal defense practice handles felony and misdemeanor offenses involving drug charges, vehicular homicide, domestic violence, assault, theft and robbery.

Family Law: Divorce is usually a difficult time. I offer caring representation if you are facing a divorce or family law dispute involving child custody, property division, spousal support (alimony), or child support.

Personal Injury: I can help you seek compensation for injuries caused by car accidents, truck accidents, slip and falls, dog bites and other accidents caused by another person's negligence or carelessness.
