Atlanta DUI Lawyer James Yeargan
Atlanta DUI Lawyer James Yeargan , Jr. has earned the nickname “DUI Jim” for his extensive experience defending clients in DUI, drug and traffic cases. Practicing at Yeargan & Kert, LLC, in Georgia, he is a driven attorney whose clients are always the first priority.
Mr. Yeargan ‘s dedication to his clients’ needs as well as his skill and presence in the courtroom are bolstered by his unique background. After he completed his undergraduate education at Emory University and received his law degree from Mercer University, Mr. Yeargan worked for three years as a DUI and drug prosecutor for the City of Atlanta. Later, he served as a guest instructor at the Georgia Police Academy, where he had previously studied and earned certifications in several areas pertinent to DUI and traffic law, including Field Sobriety Testing and Laser and Radar Operation. Thus, he has experienced the world of DUI litigation from both sides of the courtroom and is well-versed in matters related to the enforcement of DUI laws.
Mr. Yeargan proudly touts his “no case too big, no case too small” approach to defending his clients on DUI, drug and traffic charges, taking on cases not only in the Atlanta metro area but also in the more remote regions of Georgia. He is a member of the American Bar Association and the American Association for Justice as well as several local bar organizations, and he is a jurisprudential member of the American Academy of Forensic Scientists. In addition to practicing law, he continues to teach classes in DUI law and Courtroom and Case Preparation at the Georgia Police Academy.
