The legal system is complex, but your defense shouldn’t be. Evan Watson offers expert representation in criminal defense, from misdemeanors to felonies, with tailored strategies for your situation.
DUI Defense
Defending clients against charges of driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) requires a multi-faceted approach. These cases are often highly technical, involving an intricate understanding of breathalyzer technology, field sobriety test protocols, and police procedures. We meticulously examine every detail of your arrest, from the initial traffic stop to the final lab results, to identify any inconsistencies or errors that can be used in your defense. Our goal is to challenge the prosecution’s evidence and build a powerful case that protects your license, your freedom, and your future.
Theft Crimes
Defending individuals accused of illegally taking property, from minor offenses like petty theft to more serious charges like grand larceny or burglary, is our expertise. We understand that these charges can have a lasting impact on your reputation and future. Our defense strategies may include proving a lack of intent, mistaken identity, or challenging the value of the property. We will fight to reduce the charge or have it dismissed entirely.
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence cases involve a unique and often complex set of legal and emotional challenges. We provide compassionate yet aggressive representation, navigating the sensitive dynamics involved to ensure your rights are protected. We will thoroughly investigate the accusations, challenge the credibility of witnesses, and fight against protective orders or other legal actions that could impact your life. Our priority is to protect your rights, your freedom, and your family’s future.
Property Crimes
Handling cases involving the destruction, theft, or illegal entry of property requires a careful examination of the details. Charges such as vandalism, arson, or criminal trespassing can carry serious consequences, including significant fines and jail time. Our defense strategy focuses on challenging the evidence, proving a lack of criminal intent, or establishing a claim of right to the property. We work to find flaws in the prosecution’s case to secure the best possible outcome for you.
Juvenile Crimes
Representing minors accused of a crime demands a specialized approach that prioritizes their long-term well-being. The juvenile court system is distinct from the adult system, focusing on rehabilitation and education rather than punishment. Our strategy is to protect the minor’s future by preventing them from getting a permanent criminal record. We work closely with the minor and their family, as well as probation officers and the court, to secure the best possible outcome, which may include diversion programs, counseling, or a dismissal of charges.
Drug Crimes
Defense against drug crimes—whether it’s possession, distribution, or trafficking—often hinges on a person’s constitutional rights. We are experts at challenging the legality of the search and seizure that led to the discovery of the drugs. If law enforcement violated your Fourth Amendment rights, we will fight to have the evidence suppressed, which can lead to a complete dismissal of your case. Our drug defense strategy also includes challenging the prosecution’s evidence, negotiating for reduced charges, or advocating for treatment programs in lieu of incarceration.
Violent Crimes
When you are facing a violent crime charge, your life and freedom are on the line. These high-stakes cases demand an aggressive and powerful defense from a seasoned attorney. We conduct a thorough and independent investigation into the alleged crime, often bringing in forensic experts to analyze evidence, crime scenes, and witness statements. We build a compelling and strategic argument to challenge the prosecution’s case in the courtroom, ensuring your story is heard and your rights are fiercely defended.
Assault & Battery
Defending against charges of assault or battery requires a deep understanding of the law and a strategic approach to the facts. We will investigate the details of your case, gathering witness statements, examining evidence, and, if necessary, working with private investigators to uncover the truth. Common defenses we use include self-defense, defense of others, and mistaken identity. Our goal is to present a strong and clear case that either leads to a dismissal of the charges or a verdict of not guilty.
Financial Crimes
Providing a robust defense for financial crimes requires a meticulous and strategic approach. Cases involving fraud, embezzlement, or identity theft are often complex, with vast amounts of financial records, digital evidence, and witness testimony. We work with forensic accountants and other experts to meticulously review every document and transaction, identifying inconsistencies and flaws in the prosecution’s theory. Our goal is to dismantle their case piece by piece, protecting your reputation and your freedom from life-altering charges.
Record Clearing
A past mistake shouldn’t define your future. We specialize in helping individuals clear their criminal records through the legal processes of expungement or record sealing. These procedures can restore your rights and provide you with a fresh start, opening doors to new job opportunities, housing, and an overall better quality of life. We will guide you through the complex paperwork and legal requirements to ensure your petition is successful.
Clients Testimonials
Don’t just take our word for it. Our success is the trust we’ve earned from clients. Below are real stories from individuals whose lives were saved by our defense.
Evan is the lawyer you need!
“Evan was a great attorney; he was helpful from the first time we came in for a consultation. He was always there for me when I called or texted him. Made things a lot less stressful and easy for me to understand what’s going on and the situation I was in. He is very confident, knows what to do to help you out the best. Evan cares about you, and he will do his best to help you out as much as he can. I’m glad I chose him to be my attorney, he helped my case be dismissed. So before you call anyone else I’d give Evan a call, the best attorney there is in Cumming, Georgia.”
Ruben Aguilera
Evan did wonderful job fighting for me!
“I was arrested for 11 different charges 2 of which were felonies if it weren’t for Evan I would probably still be in jail right now. With Evan fighting for me, I got all of my charges dropped except for 2, and those 2 were both misdemeanors. Evan did wonderful job fighting for me and not only that he listened to what I had to say and believed me when I told him what happened that night I got arrested instead of just looking at my charges and the police records and giving up on me. Thanks so much Evan I will be sure to tell my friends and anyone I know to call you if they ever need a lawyer!!”

Evan made it easy and less stressful. I highly recommend him for a DUI.
“I am currently in my first semester of nursing school and right before I entered I got arrested for a DUI in Marietta, GA. I came across Evan Watson through this website and saw the great reviews and decided to take my chances and try him out with my case. I must say that was well worth the money (that I was forced to spend because of my poor decisions) on Evan. Being a college student and working for everything I have, he is very reasonable on “working with you” for fees, payments, etc. which was very helpful with my situation. Although I had a lot of criteria to do myself dealing with this case, Evan made the process a lot easier for me. He was also able to convince the prosecutor to reduce my charges down to reckless driving, and I was able to plea nolo contendere to prevent any points from showing up on my driving record for this case. My situation lasted only about four months, and even though getting a DUI can be one of the most stressful situations to ever get yourself into, Evan made it as easy and less stressful as possible for me. I would highly recommend him for a DUI case. He is well known throughout the court and is a very well respected man. Thank you, Evan!”

If you need a lawyer, you’ll be amazed by Evan Watson.
“I just wanted to tell everyone how amazing Evan was defending me in my DUI case. The man knows the laws about this kind of case, that’s for sure. I had this case on my mind for nine long months, and that took a toll on me. Well, Evan was there every time I had a question or concern and made me sleep better from his knowledge and confidence alone. Well, I was arrested by a GA. State Patrolman for my DUI and we all know they seem to get more credit anyway just for the there title. But that didn’t scare Evan at all. In my trial he pulled out the field sobriety law book on the officer and showed him where he messed up on all the field sobriety tests, he performed on me and made him admit to messing up on all of them. I was just amazed by how good Evan knew the laws I mean he could have been a policeman. Evan went above and beyond my expectations and I am still in shock at how professional and educated he handles himself in the courtroom. Heck, even the bailiff told me my lawyer did an excellent job at defending me. I mean really I have never had anyone in my life support me or stick up for me the way Evan did that dreadful day, he actually brought a tear to my eye several times the way he was standing up for me ,and I will be forever grateful for this man for the rest of my life. I am so glad I chose him, and he will be my lawyer from now on. This not guilty verdict saved my drivers license, my job, my life !!!! A million thanks to you, Evan, you’re the man! Anyone who is in need of a lawyer, I promise you will be as amazed as me if you choose Evan Watson.”

Mr. Watson’s dedication and experience set him apart.
“Mr. Watson has represented me on two occasions, and I would not consider any attorney other than Mr. Watson to represent me for any future incidences. Evan went well beyond the call of duty to assure that everything was handled in the most efficient manner and made an effort to establish a relationship with his clients outside of court to make me feel at ease and reassured that everything was going to be handled smoothly. He was always easy to contact and got back to me with any questions I had expediently. On both occasions that Mr. Watson represented me, we were successful in getting the outcomes that I wanted. Mr. Watson’s dedication to his clients, experience, and personality truly set him apart from every other lawyer I have ever previously hired, and these traits make him the exceptionally unique attorney that he is. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of representation.”

Evan Watson will fight for your best interests.
“Evan Watson is excellent!! This is someone that works hard for you, and I just don’t think that’s easy to find in an attorney. I never did tell Evan but I have been contemplating law school for about three years now and to see him represent me in the courtroom the way he did I am actually inspired to apply to school now! I trusted his judgment without question from the first moment I met him. I could tell he took his job seriously and had a passion for his cases. He gathered each and every fact he possibly could to represent me. His confidence, preparedness, and knowledge shows in the courtroom. Evan was so factual that it left no room for the opposing counsel to argue and he made such an impression on the remaining audience in court that someone asked for his business card after we left. I already knew that I hired the right person to represent me, but that was just icing on the cake to see someone stop us in the hall on the way out to request his business. Evan Watson is someone that will fight for you with your best interest at heart. Thank you, Evan!”
