Meet Jason Cerbone, the DUI Defense Lawyer in Savannah, Georgia who won three contested driver’s license suspension hearings in one day.
Standing before the testifying police officer, Jason knew the DUI Field Sobriety Tests were given incorrectly on this DUI arrest he wanted to get the officer to admit it. So, patiently, persistently, question after question, he calmly brought the officer toward the goal. The officer didn’t know he destroyed the prosecution’s case. But the judge did. And when Jason asked the judge to dismiss the DUI charges against Marty, the Bail Bondsman, he did. Yet another case. Yet another win.
Take the Golf Pro who he won a DUI jury trial for, or Joe who he won his DUI jury trial two weeks later. Or the Soldier who won his DUI jury trial. But, don’t let his hard-fought wins fool you, because if he can get your DUI thrown out or plead down than he will.

Trying a DUI case in front of the jury is my favorite thing to do. I have to be in the courtroom to be happy whether I get paid for it or not.

And it makes me happy when I do it well. — Jason Cerbone

Jason Saved My Life!
As a result of his hard work and diligence I was found not guilty, unanimously, of DUI and guilty of speeding. The jury took less than 1 hour to deliberate before reaching a verdict. Jason is not only a phenomenally skilled DUI attorney but he is a compassionate human being, an interesting character and a lifelong friend. Although I compensated Jason for his services there is absolutely nothing I could give him for saving my life! I would avidly endorse Jason Cerbone that is, if you want the best possible representation.
Jason is incredibly knowledgeable, personable, responsive and pleasantly unique. I was faced with a 2nd DUI within 10 years and a speeding violation. I work in a career that requires me to rent vehicles on business trips and I was very concerned about retaining my job and means of supporting my family. Jason ensured that at no point was my driving privileges revoked and I was always able to secure rental vehicles. Jason also started preparing for my case weeks after I was arrested for DUI. He hired an expert to investigate and survey the incident location, retained a professional witness several months before I was scheduled to go to trial, prepped me for trial in the event I would need to testify and maintained an avenue of communication with me regarding updates to my case. Moreover, Jason treated every hearing and motion as if he were in trial and obtained transcripts from each interaction with the state and their witness.
It took the state over two years to get my trial date scheduled and Jason always applied pressure in an attempt to get the case placed on the docket. Once we secured a date Jason was ready well in advance of the case. In court he, using the transcripts, constantly pointed out inaccuracies in the states argument and at times caused the state stumble and change their argument. Additionally, he was very calculating as to the right time to introduce evidence, what information was necessary to disclose, what information to omit, when to object and when to allow the prosecutors to continue with an argument. He is, in my opinion, the best DUI attorney in Savannah if not the state of Georgia. — Craig
