Review for Attorney Matt Acuff
As a mother who found herself in a desperate situation, I cannot speak highly enough of Attorney Matt Acuff. When my son faced serious legal troubles, I felt completely overwhelmed and terrified for his future. Before I retained Matt, he spoke with me on two occasions,took the time to listen to my concerns and reassured me that it was something that he was confident that he could handle.
His expertise in criminal law is evident—not just in his knowledge of the legal system, but also in his strategic approach to my son’s case. Matt was incredibly thorough in his preparation and left no stone unturned. He communicated with me every step of the way, ensuring that I understood the process.
What truly stands out is how compassionate and understanding he was throughout this difficult time. Matt treated my son with respect and dignity, which made a world of difference in how my son felt about himself during such a challenging period. It was clear that he genuinely cared about both my son and our family.
Thanks to his hard work and dedication, we achieved a favorable outcome that I genuinely didn’t think was possible. My son has a second chance now, and I am forever grateful to Matt for his relentless pursuit of justice and for believing in my son when we needed it the most.
If you need a criminal attorney who is not only knowledgeable and skilled but also truly cares about his clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Matt Acuff.
Thank you, Matt, from the bottom of my heart, for everything you’ve done for us. You are a remarkable attorney and an incredible human being.

Christine and her staff are nothing short of phenomenal. I have referred Christine to many people, but recently had to use her for family. I would not trust anyone else.
She was technically on vacation, but took my frantic call and immediately jumped into action. She made a scary situation less so. She is an avid advocate and wonderfully empathetic. She and her team are the ones you want when a loved one is in need.

Before meeting Matt Acuff and Colleen Long, I have contacted multiple lawyers to help me with my situation, however, no one wanted to handle my case.
During what was undoubtedly one of the most challenging times of my life, both have proven to be an invaluable support.
They have made what seemedto be a hopeless dream come to a reality and I am truly grateful that they have lifted the weight that I have been carrying for many years off my shoulders.
If you are seeking for an attorney office who truly cares about their clients, look no further, I strongly recommend their expertise.
E.L.O.

I can’t say enough about Eugenia Walls. Eugenia Walls is outstanding. Most law offices don’t care about you as an individual. They just want billable hours. Every step of the way she understood my financial situation. I still wanted a great lawyer and I actually got both. She sat me down and told me exactly what she would do. She did just that. As dad I couldn’t be happier. She’s smart and a pitbull. I was out of mediation at the two hour mark with every single thing I asked for! I’m still staring at my papers in disbelief.

Bob has helped us so much with our young daughter's legal issues over the past few years. He is a great lawyer and just as good of a person. He genuinely cared about her outcome. He stuck with us and followed through even with the court delays during COVID. If you or someone you know ever needs a defense attorney, you should call Bob. We highly recommend him.

Falon Stimpson was a God send. She was very thorough in her explanations of what we needed to do. She was proactive in reaching out to the Solicitors office on my daughters behalf. We were clueless and had no idea what to do or what to expect. She was gracious enough to answer all of our questions and guided us every step of the way. Thanks Attorney Stimpson for being a concerned, smart and thoughtful attorney. We appreciate every call and every email. Super Speeder ticket dismissed!!!

I want to start by saying that we are grateful for the end result Mark Hill was able to arrange for my boyfriend Steve's, misdemeanor criminal case in Forsyth County. However, our overall experience with his office was extremely frustrating, unprofessional, and stressful.
After paying the fee upfront, we didn’t hear back for about a year. When we called to check in, we were told cases take time, which is fine—but there were no updates unless we reached out, even after requesting monthly updates.
Once the case moved forward, communication worsened, and there was confusion about court dates and plea arrangements. Mark was absent for two court appearances, and during the second, his assistant attorney, Terri Wells, tried pressuring my boyfriend into taking a plea deal in the courtroom without Mark’s presence. We had to delay the case again.
After this, we asked for a meeting with Mark at his office to clarify our options. When we arrived, Sarah Freeman, a paralegal we had never interacted in-depth with before, informed me that I was not allowed to attend the meeting, even though I had been involved in every step of the case until then (per my boyfriend's request). Fine. When I asked when this decision was made, she told me that "the office" had decided on this earlier that morning—as in SEVERAL HOURS before I had taken time off work on a Wednesday and commuted 3 hours to and from the office. When I voiced my frustration, she accused me of being "aggressive".
While the case outcome was positive, I cannot recommend this office due to the lack of communication, professionalism, and respect. The experience, especially with Ms. Freeman, was unacceptably stressful and unpleasant.

I had the pleasure of working with LaGrone Law, specifically with Safisha Thembeka, who represented my family member in a challenging case. While the process took some time, the outcome was more than worth it. Safisha was an absolute powerhouse—dedicated, energetic, and incredibly thorough. She went above and beyond, diving deep into the details of the case, leaving no stone unturned. Her commitment and passion for our case were clear from the start; she treated us like family, making sure we felt supported and informed throughout the entire process.
What stood out the most was how Safisha handled everything with such care and professionalism, and in the end, she achieved an incredible result: the case was dismissed without going to trial. I truly believe her tireless work and advocacy were the key to this outcome. If you're looking for someone who will fight for you and your family until the very end, I highly recommend Safisha Thembeka and LaGrone Law. They are dedicated, reliable, and truly have your best interests at heart.

I got into a scrap with my buddy at home and the cops got called. Even though me and him were good friends and were adamant not to press charges, the police WERE FORCED to charge it as a domestic violence case. LaGrone law got the case dismissed contingent on a anger management class. The paralegal I worked with Andrea was cordial polite and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend.

If you have a criminal case. Do NOT hire him . You will waste your money and end up with a long prison sentence. I am living proof. I wasted years of my life for a case that could have been thrown away or gotten a reduced sentence. He will work with the DA an throw you under the bus for another client to get time reduced.

Matt brings to the table deep relationship, angles and perspective that are rare and unique as a seasoned - experienced attorney. He has a unique background of being a successful prosecutor and AMAZING defense attorney. Even rarer, he provides a element of human care for his clients that shows non-judgment and help that presented me a way through an extremely complex and difficult situation. He brought solutions in my case and visited me in Jail multiple times at the height of a pandemic. Where most were uncertain and running the other way..Matt was unwavering and always there. Scary times for the world and my situation.. He goes above and beyond thinking of your well being foremost. Not only did he breath life into me by this, but He played a huge role in lifting me out a very bad place of unprecedented time when it seemed I didn't have a Hail Mary. He truly was an answer to a prayer and he worked exhaustively and relentlessly when so much seemed impossible, restricted and in shambles which was my life and the world.. He provided in my case real productive solutions/guidance that helped assure all parties involved of a good outcome.
With his element of knowledge and extensive background of expert work in this field he made more than I could ask happen. Doors I thought forever closed and things impossible he achieved
Mercy was afforded in my case that today brings me a brighter future that was almost completely lost without him. For his work
I'm forever grateful and lucky to have got him to my defense. Hire him if you can. He is the real deal
When all was failing and turmoil thanks for all you did/do and never gave up
With love and deep respect
Forever and always,
Cameron

I had the privilege of working with Attorney Caycie on my child support modification case, and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. From the beginning, she demonstrated deep knowledge of family law, guiding me through the entire process with confidence and professionalism.
What stood out the most was her attention to detail and genuine concern for my situation. Attorney Caycie was always available to answer my questions, kept me updated on every development, and provided clear explanations of complex legal matters, ensuring I fully understood my options.
Thanks to Attorney Caycie's expertise and dedication, we achieved a successful modification that best serve the needs of my children and ensures a fair arrangement. I highly recommend the whole team of Daniels & Taylor, P.C. - Lawrenceville, GA, especially Attorney Caycie, to anyone seeking legal representation in family law matters.

Mr. Ryczek did an excellent job for me delivering a great result in my case which could damage my whole life and professional career. His expertise together with his genuine care for the case and client and high intelligence saved me a lot of trouble. I highly recommend his service.
Let me start by saying that I am international PhD student (under F1 visa) from Iran (which could unreasonably amplify the negative effects of any serious conviction on my immigration and education status).
I was arrested by campus police officers at night, while trying to get something from my office. They stopped me for expired tag and after smelling marijuana from my car, they searched my car and did field sobriety test. Long story short, I was arrested and charged with 1) DUI-drugs 2) possession of marijuana (I only had 1 grams) 3) having alcohol open container 4) failure to signal. They also did a blood test after arrest. I should mention that although I was using marijuana a lot those days for sleeping and depression, my driving was not really affected as my tolerance had raised a lot. Since it was my first encounter with cops in US (and I hadn't really researched about my rights and how to interact with cops), I did an awful job (in my opinion) interacting with cops and I trusted them a too much. But they more or less lied to me and made my situation way worse than what really happened that night. Later on, I was very frustrated when I read the police report which was a surrealistic collection of lies.
After bonding out, I immediately started to search for the best DUI lawyers in Georgia and interviewed some of the most known lawyers in the area, as this could affect my career and immigration status massively. Among all the lawyers, I felt more genuine concern about my case, beside being honest about possible outcomes and what he can do and after researching a lot, I realized he is an extremely well regarded and successful lawyer, and therefore the best choice for me. Let me mention for instance that there were another very famous lawyer with a lot of TV appearances, who not only wanted to charge me way more, but also were very pessimistic about the result. Rick did way better than what he was considering impossible!
Throughout the procedure which took around 1 year, he used every chance to dismiss my case for various reasons, which showed to me how extremely knowledgable he is about the details of the law on this subject (once for prosecutors not filing the charges correctly, once for not giving us the blood test and cam video on time, once for the cop not showing up). Our requests did not work mostly because the judge was nice to the prosecutors, but I witnessed that Rick did push for a dismissal whenever it was possible.
Finally after we received the blood test and the video, I realized that the active marijuana in my blood was quite high (0.9 when the limit for DUI in CO is 0.5) and the field tests were not as good as I previously thought. It was not awful, but definitely not good.
So we started to cut a deal. One thing I realized was that it is very important for the lawyers to have good relations with prosecutors, judge and staff (for cutting deals) and Rick had this great as he was very friendly and respectful (and sometimes funny!) and so very much respected in the court. Finally we reached a deal that I was very happy with. They dropped the DUI/possession/open container charges (all drug/alc related charges) and I pled guilty to 1) failure to signal 2) reckless driving. Sentenced to 200 (for 1) and 600$ (for 2) fines (judge dropped 200$). Also a 1 year probation including random alc/drug tests, dui school, community service and Alc/drug evaluation. Rick requested the probation to be terminated after completing my conditions which was accepted. So since I had done all that stuff, after paying the fine on the same day, my probation was terminated and I put all of this big trouble behind!
I highly recommend Rick's service!

"Absolutely call Terry Lloyd".
Terry was excellent from the first call till the verdict. He was very well prepared, reassuring and professional, he made the opposition look Ill prepared and completely out of their depth.
We won convincingly and I got all of my legal fees back.

Mr. Terry L. Lloyd was very helpful in my case. He answered all my questions and explained how things work in the system and he answered my important calls. He gave me the results that other lawyers were unable to give. Mr. Terry Lloyd is such a nice person, he seems more like a family member than a lawyer. Mr. Lloyd is very professional, kind, trustworthy , and he gets straight to business. Since I employed him I felt very confident and things worked out way better than what I expected. I would use his expertise again and recommend him to family and friends.

Mr. Geary helped me get the most favorable option (better than I could have dreamed) when I was charged with a serious felony offense. I moved out of state before the appearances began and he made sure to take time with me at each meeting. His office staff is impeccable and responsive. You are never left wondering the status of your case. My husband and my children appreciate the work that Mr. Geary did for us. I will never be able to thank him enough.

I met Chirag Patel when he was finishing up law school here in Macon. I've owned a business in Macon for over 20 years and would see Chirag frequently. I was always impressed by his intelligence and wit, along with the fact he already seemed like a seasoned lawyer to me. I was impressed that he, as a law student and non-Maconite, already was working with , or had connections to, the people who ultimately make the decisions in the law arena. He had left Macon to join a prestigious law firm in Atlanta when I found myself in need of a good attorney. Chirag had developed working relationships with the judges and district attorneys, not just other attorneys in town. This has made all the difference in my case. He's not out to keep friendships with his peers, he's out to win.

This review is well overdue. Bob is the best lawyer alive! If you need an attorney look no further you have found HIM. Arrested on Thursday, hired Bob on Friday, was out by Monday and the case was closed that day too. Would’ve been out that day had I hired him before the courts closed for the day. You cannot get any better than that. BOB IS AMAZING!!!

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You
A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.
Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.
When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?
It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:
- Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
- Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
- Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
- Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
- Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
- Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.
What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?
Criminal defense lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to protect their clients’ rights throughout the criminal justice process. Their duties include:
- Case evaluation and investigation: Reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and investigating the facts to develop a strong defense strategy.
- Legal advice: Advising you on your rights, the charges you’re facing, and potential defense strategies, including whether to take a plea deal or go to trial.
- Negotiating plea bargains: Working with prosecutors to negotiate a plea deal that could reduce charges or minimize penalties.
- Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.
- Filing motions: Filing motions to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, or reduce bail, depending on the specifics of your case.
- Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.
- Appeals: If you are convicted, a defense lawyer can appeal the conviction or sentence, arguing errors in the trial process or legal rulings.
How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?
Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:
- Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
- Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
- Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.
The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.
How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost guidelines are:
- Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
- Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
- Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
- Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.
Be sure to clarify the lawyer’s fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Criminal Defense Lawyer
Before hiring a criminal defense lawyer, you’ll want to ensure that they’re a good fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has a strong track record with the specific type of criminal charges you’re facing, whether it’s DUI, drug offenses, or violent crimes. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case and the likelihood of dismissal, a plea bargain, or conviction. -
How many cases have you taken to trial?
While many criminal cases settle with a plea deal, it’s important to hire a lawyer with courtroom experience in case your case goes to trial. -
Who will handle my case?
Ask if the lawyer will be personally involved or if other attorneys in the firm will handle most of the work. -
How do you communicate with your clients?
Be clear on how often and through what channels you can expect updates on your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Criminal Defense Lawyer
To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyer’s communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should have past clients or other professionals who can speak to their competence and work ethic.
- Review their case history: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to see their experience with criminal cases, including high-profile or complex cases.
- Look for trial experience: If your case might go to trial, make sure the lawyer has a strong history of courtroom advocacy and success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:
- Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
- Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
- List of witnesses or evidence: If there are any potential witnesses or evidence that may support your defense, share this information during the consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare questions about their experience, legal strategy, and fees to ensure you understand how they will handle your case.
- Bail or release documents: If you’ve been released on bail, bring any paperwork related to your release conditions or restrictions.
By being well-prepared, you can help your lawyer quickly assess your situation and begin building an effective defense strategy.
