Beyond drunk driving cases, the firm handles drug charges, theft, assault, and injury claims. A live person answers the phone at any hour. Consultations cost nothing, and several staff members speak Spanish.

Former prosecutors run Arora Law, an Atlanta criminal defense firm handling state and federal cases nationwide. Manny Arora spent years in the Fulton County District Attorney's major crimes division after prosecuting for the U.S. Air Force. He has practiced for over three decades.

Kevin Fisher is a Midtown Atlanta DUI lawyer who has practiced criminal defense for more than 20 years. He completed the same DUI detection course Georgia State Patrol troopers take. He is also certified in standardized field sobriety testing.
