DUI/DWI

Hired Law Firm

Represented me in a DUI case and succeeded in getting the charges dismissed. He filed an appeal and the case was linked to an appeal before the Georgia Supreme Court based on insufficient advice of rights against self-incrimination and involuntary chemical testing by not advising her of her Miranda rights prior to administration of said testing. District Attorney then declined to prosecute case. Mr. Burkhalter provided more than adequate representation. Client is very pleased with this outcome.

Hired Attorney Mr. Zachary Burkhalter

Very dependable, honest, and trustworthy. Cost less than any other local att. in the area. Was willing to take phone calls at odd hours and didn't overcharge for rates. Sought approval for every piece of correspondence in the issue. I would, hands down, recommend him as a high quality attorney. Fought tooth and nail for a judgement and was very practical in knowing what was possible to achieve.

Zachary is highly knowledgeable with the intricate details that can change the outcome of a case in the client's favor. Several other defendants in the courtroom approached me after the trial and said, "I sure wish I had your lawyer working for me!"

Mr. Burkhalter handled my DUI trial with ease. He is knowledgeable and confident and has what seems to be a good working rapport with other lawyers, the prosecutors, and the judge who tried my case. Mr. Burkhalter may not hold your hand and walk you through this process, but he will be the best person to know your case forward and backward and do everything he can to win your case.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
