David Abbott is an experienced Criminal Defense Attorney. He has practiced in McDonough since 2007 and has an office across the street from the Henry County courthouse. He handles all types of criminal cases, including DUIs, shoplifting charges and felonies. The criminal justice system can be needlessly cruel.
David works to tame it. In every case, his basic goal is the same: protecting his client's human potential. David's tactics are flexible. If an officer broke the law or was sloppy, he's not afraid to embarrass that officer. If negotiation locks in a good deal, all the better. When a victim lies, David will impeach her.

License Suspension Hearings
Report
A single DUI arrest can trigger two different cases. If you do not act within 10 business days of arrest, you will probably lose your driver's license. Decades ago, drivers could make it easier to beat a DUI by refusing to take a breath test. Georgia has developed elaborate procedures to punish drivers who refuse to take the test.
