Atlanta Attorneys Rated Among
Best Criminal Lawyers in State

Few Georgia attorneys have shown a longer or more dedicated affiliation with GACDL than Bubba Head, criminal defense attorney Atlanta. The journey started in 1977, when the non-profit organization put on its Fall program in the Georgia mountains at Unicoi and Bobby Lee Cook, from Summerville, was the keynote speaker.

The Atlanta criminal attorney was then living in Athens GA, after graduating from GA law school in June of 1976 and in a small law office located on Prince Avenue. In 1994 Bubba Head became a GACDL Life Member, which is the most exclusive and costly level of commitment by the best criminal attorneys in the organization. On a national level, Bubba also upgraded his NACDL membership to being a Life Member the next year.

In 1995, Fulton County attorney William Head and the late Reese Joye of South Carolina were prime movers in establishing the National College for DUI Defense. That was the same year that Bubba Head self-published his initial version on Georgia DUI law, The Georgia DUI Trial Practice Manual.

In 1997, The Harrison Company bought the publishing rights from Mr. Head. Today, being updated for its 26th year, publishing rights are now owned by Thomson-Reuters, the world's largest legal book publisher.

Other nationally known DWI DUI book authors also helped launch the national College. This included Lawrence Taylor, from southern California, James Campbell, from San Francisco, DWI lawyer Gary Trichter, arguably the best DWI lawyer from the Lone Star State, from Texas, and Don Nichols, DWI attorney from Minnesota were also part of the initial team that launched the NCDD.com.

DWI stands for driving while intoxicated (or impaired) but is the same crime as Georgia's driving under the influence of alcohol or influence of drugs. DUI charges in Georgia are virtually identical in scope as an OUI in Maine, or an OWI in Michigan.

After becoming heavily involved as a seminar speaker and supporter of the group, the criminal attorney Atlanta GA started a new seminar called The DUI Boot Camp, which GACDL hosted. In the past 20 years, more than 9 programs have continued this highly focused training program at multiple seminar locations across the State of Georgia.

Next, he sponsored the first two national training programs for criminal defense attorneys across America. Over 140 criminal lawyers attended one or both programs, at Emory Conference Center in 2007 and in San Diego, CA in 2008.

The purpose was to provide cross-examination skills to challenge forensic, crime lab analytical reports in drug possession charges. Plus, this multi-day program taught how to attack toxicological results that supported alleged impairment or intoxication. The proceeds from these two programs in December of 2007 and 2008 paid the way for GACDL public defenders to attend for free.

Now, after over 44 years of experience, Bubba has two law partners, the author of this article (Larry Kohn) and Atlanta criminal defense attorney Cory Yager. Mr Yager brought nearly a decade of law enforcement experience with him, from 2 metro Atlanta police agencies (Cobb County Police and Roswell PD in Roswell GA.)
