Georgia trial lawyer William C. (Bubba) Head is frequently recognized by top lawyer ratings services for his top credentials. Handling DUI defense and felony or misdemeanor criminal defense cases, he has tried more cases that 99% of Georgia's attorneys.
He has received accolades and awards from legal groups across the country, including groups located in the State of Georgia. Of more than 37,000 Georgia attorneys, only 4 lawyers have achieved Board Certification through NCDD. Atlanta DUI lawyer Bubba Head is one of those four DUI attorneys. These industry honors and professional recognitions are confirmation to his legal achievements as well as his outstanding reputation as a criminal defense attorney, whether the client is charged with felony vs misdemeanor.
A Champion Member of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association, he is also a Lifetime Member of GACDL and NACDL for over 25 years, and has been a criminal defense attorney since June 1976. Mr. Head wrote his first legal book in 1991.
Many new lawyer “rating” services have popped up in the last two decades, primarily due to the Internet. DUI lawyers have signed up for many “pay-for-rating” services, but a few attorney rating sites have maintained their autonomy and independence from becoming faux attorney reviews and awards. Beyond the highest echelon of Board Certification, three recognized, independent attorney rating services (and not just for DUI attorney ratings) that are both reputable and credentials-based are:
Martindale-Hubbell – The Nation’s Oldest Legal Directory – For over two decades, Mr. Head has maintained their highest possible ratings: 5.0 of 5.0 AND preeminent as well as the “av” rating, with the highest lawyer ratings awarded for both ethical conduct and legal ability.
Best Lawyers in America – This site is the most EXCLUSIVE, peer-reviewed national lawyer review site in the country, for all practice areas. Mr. Head has been rated with this service for over 12 years, and is a Tier 1 rated law firm with U.S. News and World Report, as part of this listing.
Super Lawyers – a division of Thomson-West-Reuters – This attorney rating directory listings are provided by local peer surveys. Those lawyers (in all practice areas) with multiple, successive top attorney ratings achieve Super Lawyers status. For younger, top-ranked attorneys, under age 40, the Rising Star designation is the highest ranking possible, and Cory Yager, the partner of Mr. Head, has earned six straight Rising Star designations from Super Lawyers. Partner Larry Kohn is also named as a Super Lawyer for 2017-2022. Bubba Head has been named in every iteration of Georgia Super Lawyers, beginning in 2004.
Mr. Head has been named to ALL THREE of the above lawyer rating sites, plus numerous other national attorney ranking sites like AVVO.com. Of all the recognition and awards he has received, one stands out as being very special. In 2003, when the Dean of NCDD.com was Gary Trichter, William was awarded the National DUI Lawyer of the Year by the National College for DUI Defense, a legal group which teaches advanced trial training to drunk driving defense lawyers throughout the United States. The award was presented by NCDD at Austin Hall, located on the Harvard University School of Law campus, Cambridge, Massachusetts, in July 2003.
For over half of his 45 years as a GACDL member, Mr. Head also has been a Life Member of the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. Mr. Head has chaired half a dozen criminal defense lawyer seminars for GACDL over those many years, plus many boot camp programs that were DUI-focused. He is co-chair of the 2017 DUI Boot Camp for GACDL.
Additionally, Best Lawyers in America named Mr. Head as being the Best DUI Attorney in GA in 2012, and featured him in an article. Best Lawyers repeated that honor in 2017, as the Best Atlanta DUI Lawyer.
In March of 2016, Attorney at Law Magazine named Atlanta DUI attorney William C. Head their "Attorney of the Month."
In 2015, Georgia Trend Magazine named Atlanta DUI lawyer Bubba Head to its “Legal Elite” rankings, an honor that he also received in 2004 and 2008. He was named one of the Best Attorneys in Georgia by this well-known statewide business magazine.
In 2000, Atlanta Magazine ran a feature on Atlanta attorney Bubba Head, naming him the “Best DUI Lawyer” based on a poll of his peers. That same year, Bubba was Board Certified by NCDD.com, and he has been a DUI specialist in defending driving under the influence cases ever since.
Since 2012, Mr. Head and his Atlanta DUI law firm were recognized in the U.S. News & World Report directory of the “Best Law Firms in America.” A majority of his DUI law firm's 650 criminal cases each year are for drinking and driving criminal offenses, known as DUI in Georgia.
Beyond attorney ratings within the legal profession, Mr. Head has also been named to numerous prestigious business profession lists including: The National Who’s Who Registry, Who’s Who in America, Who’s Who in American Law, and Who’s Who in the World.
