READER QUESTION:
I have seen the phrase “AV Rated Georgia DUI Lawyer” on a lot of advertisements. Can you tell me what that is?

Sure I can, Marjane.
The fact that a Georgia attorney is listed as an AV rated DUI lawyer doesn’t tell you a lot unless it tells you what kind of AV rating they got. But just for your information, the AV rating tells you what kind of quality the attorney is, or at least according to their colleagues on the Georgia Bar.
An AV rating comes from many things: it is hinged on the lawyer’s experience, it includes information about how well they defend the cases they choose, it also considers their knowledge and their participation in the law community.
An AV rated Georgia DUI lawyer with a good rating is the best kind of lawyer, and often has higher prices as well–because, you know, they can. This means such a lawyer may be out of your reach if you don’t have tens of thousands of dollars to defend yourself. Even if you can’t afford a high-priced AV rated Georgia DUI lawyer, it may be a good idea to contact a couple during your attorney search to find out exactly what services and expertise you would get for that money. Then you can use that information to help you choose an attorney in your price range who is best qualified to provide that same level of service. If you can’t afford an AV rated attorney, you at least want a “wanna be” who is working hard at getting to that level.
