Introduction
William C. Bubba Head holds the title of one of only three Board-Certified DWI Specialists in Georgia, a credential the National College for DUI Defense further recognized in 2003 by naming him the best DUI lawyer in America. Forty-six years of DUI defense practice have produced a firm with three partners, all holding NHTSA instructor certifications for field sobriety testing, and a collective case history exceeding 15,000 DUI matters. The main office is at 5600 Roswell Rd Building H, #210, Sandy Springs, GA 30342, reachable at (404) 567-5515, with additional offices in downtown Atlanta at 235 Peachtree Street NE Suite 400 and in Marietta at 55 Atlanta Street Suite 400.

Practice Areas
Bubba Head Law Firm focuses exclusively on DUI defense, building exceptional depth in this single area of criminal law.
First-offense DUI defense addresses clients charged with their first DUI who are confronting both criminal proceedings and the administrative license suspension process. The attorneys advise clients on the critical 30-day window following arrest during which action must be taken to protect driving privileges, a deadline that directly affects case outcomes.
Multiple-offense DUI cases carry escalating penalties under Georgia law. The firm represents clients facing second, third, and subsequent DUI charges where the legal stakes are higher and the defense approach must account for prior history.
Felony DUI cases, including DUI accidents that cause injury, represent the most serious tier of DUI charges. The attorneys bring their combined experience to these matters where criminal penalties can be severe and litigation complexity is substantial.
Field sobriety test challenges form a core component of the defense strategy. All three partners hold NHTSA instructor certifications for field sobriety testing, meaning they understand how these tests are supposed to be administered, documented, and evaluated, and can identify departures from proper protocol that undermine test results.
Breath test accuracy challenges address the technical and procedural requirements that breathalyzer tests must meet for results to be admissible and reliable. The attorneys scrutinize breath test administration, equipment calibration, and chain of custody.
Implied consent procedures govern what happens at the time of arrest regarding breath, blood, and urine testing. The attorneys evaluate whether law enforcement properly complied with implied consent requirements and whether violations affect admissibility of chemical test evidence.
Administrative license suspension hearings operate separately from criminal proceedings. The firm addresses both tracks, advocating in administrative proceedings to protect driving privileges while simultaneously handling criminal defense.
Athens-Clarke County DUI matters receive specific attention given that this jurisdiction processes over 95% of Clarke County DUI arrests, making it one of the busiest DUI courts in Georgia outside metro Atlanta. The firm represents University of Georgia students and other Athens-area clients in these proceedings.
