36 Years in These Courts.
He Knows How This Works.
When you are charged with DUI in Georgia, two separate legal processes begin immediately — the criminal case and the administrative license suspension. They run on different tracks, follow different rules, and have different deadlines. Missing either one costs you options you cannot get back.
Leon Hicks has defended DUI cases in Clayton County for 36 years. He knows the judges, the prosecutors, and the specific way cases move through this courthouse. That is not something any Atlanta firm can offer you — and it matters.
The 30-Day Clock: From the moment of your arrest, you have 30 days to request an Administrative License Suspension (ALS) hearing. If you do nothing, your license is automatically suspended on day 46. This deadline cannot be extended. Call Leon today — not tomorrow.
A DUI conviction in Georgia carries serious consequences — fines, license suspension, mandatory programs, possible jail time, and a permanent record. But an arrest is not a conviction. What happens between your arrest and your court date determines everything. That is where Leon goes to work.
These Courts
From the First Call to the Final Outcome
ALS Hearing Defense
Leon files your ALS hearing request before the 30-day deadline and fights the administrative suspension. Winning the ALS hearing keeps your license. Losing it without a fight means automatic suspension on day 46.
Case Investigation
Every DUI case has details that matter — the stop, the field sobriety tests, the breathalyzer calibration, the officer’s conduct. Leon reviews all of it. Evidence that was gathered improperly cannot be used against you.
Clayton County Court Representation
Leon appears personally at every hearing, every motion, every appearance. You get him — not a paralegal, not a junior associate. The attorney who answers your call is the attorney who walks into that courtroom.
First Offense Strategy
Most of Leon’s DUI clients are first-time offenders who made one mistake on one night. He understands what is at stake — your job, your record, your license — and he fights to protect all of it.
License Reinstatement
Getting your license back after a DUI suspension involves paperwork, fees, programs, and deadlines that most people navigate alone — and get wrong. Leon walks you through every step of the reinstatement process.
Available When You Need Him
DUI arrests don’t happen at 9am on a Tuesday. When you need to talk to someone who knows what to do next, Leon is reachable. Because the decisions made in the first 24 hours shape everything that follows.
