Jason Cerbone is an exceptional attorney who accomplished the nearly impossible. My company and I retained Jason Cerbone and his firm who came highly recommended to us to handle an arrest warrant hearing for Simple Battery. The charges that were sought were false, and should never have seen he inside of a court room. The person seeking the hearing caused a disruption in my place of employment and where he attacked an employee of mine. When he refused to leave multiple times, I called the police to assist. Once I did that, he began to scream that he was being touched and assaulted which never happened. There is significant background to this matter but the main point of this review is to advise anyone who retains Jason Cerbone, wether for his specialty of DUI Defense or a matter such as this that he goes above and beyond with due diligence, he is candid and direct and knows the laws, statutes and sticks to the facts rather than the emotion that often comes with legal matters. He is an attorney that is concerned only with how to address the charge, and how to prove it is false so you as the client can move on with your life. At the hearing, Jason conducted himself professionally and pragmatically and addressed the witnesses with direct questions and struck home his points with facts. Because the burden of proof is so minute under the law, we knew early on that it would be likely that the Judge was going to find probable cause even though he did not agree with this case even being in front of him and that ultimately was what occurred. I am a professional and I protected my employee and firm and never grabbed this man as alleged. I have never been in trouble in my life with any thing of this nature and was devastated at the Judge’s ruling. But here is where Jason’s knowledge and experience and ability to read people including the Judge came into play for the benefit of his client. He asked the Judge for a moment with the person making the allegations to see if he could resolve it. The Judge allowed them to exit the courtroom to talk. This is unheard of, but because the Judge clearly did not feel this should tie up the court and legal system and Jason could see that, he clearly trusted in Jason’s desire to bring resolution to the matter. Upon re-entry, Jason advised the Judge and Court that no resolution could be obtained. When the Judge asked the person why, it was clear he was only interested in pursuit at any cost. The Judge re-evaluated his initial ruling, the allegation and CHANGED his ruling to NO Probable cause.
I don’t believe this is something that happens often if ever, especially in a warrant hearing for the allegation of Simple Battery. It is my opinion, and that of my firm that it was because of Jason’s desire to see justice done, and resolution for a matter that had no basis that there was a second opportunity for the Judge to re-evaluate his ruling. Had Jason not taken this action I believe the initial ruling would have stood and my life would be very different at this moment.
I am personally indebted to Jason and his firm. My company is indebted as well. Should you retain Jason you can trust in his advice, his experience, and his desire to see justice prevail. You are in good hands making the decision to retain the Cerbone DUI Defense Law Firm. Thank you to the entire staff and to Jason, my sincerest appreciation to you for your candor and defense of my case.

I was charged with DUI less safe, DUI alcohol breath test .114, and Failure to maintain lane. Not being a resident in the state of Georgia a super long time when it happened, I had no idea where to go or who to call. I came across Jason Cerbone and I hired him based solely on his reviews here. It was the best decision I could have made to help my situation and case. My license never got suspended, or restricted. Although, it was a time consuming process. Today we left the court house in about 20 minutes with my entire case being dismissed – never having to go to trial. I’m super happy with the outcome. I will never put myself in a situation like this again, but I will recommend Jason to anyone who does! Go with Jason if you want a win!

I am very pleased. Jason Cerbone is an excellent attorney. I’m a recent college graduate and I received a DUI. I did not want to start my career off with a charge. He got me a plea deal for Reckless Driving. He not only got my charge lowered but also got a few of my fines removed. By far the most professional and best decision I’ve made.

I feel that I received good counsel. Jason helped me to avoid jail on my 2nd DUI charge in five years. I plead my case out, and got no jail time in the State Court of Chatham County. I was impressed with his experience and professionalism. I feel that I received good counsel throughout the experience. Would recommend for anyone facing a DUI charge.

Jason was the perfect choice to handle my DUI case, I wish I had gone with him sooner. After separating from my initially hired attorney due to lack of determination to receive the best outcome for me I found Jason on Avvo and he was definitely the opposite. Before my case was scheduled to go to trial Jason managed to get my charge reduced from DUI to reckless driving which was the outcome I was hoping for. Now that this chapter of my life is done I can say thank you to Jason for assisting me with the matter.

In the State Court of Chatham County, today I plead down what would have been a 2nd DUI and I didn’t get any jail time. Jason’s reviews were the primary reason I hired him for my case. After meeting with him I knew he was the person that could handle the task. Passionate and trustworthy, while always reminding me through case law, stories, and experiences, of his expansive knowledge. I got the result I was aiming for and have zero regrets about the money spent.

On a Friday night in Savannah, Georgia I was arrested for DUI less safe and Failure to yield upon entering the roadway.
As a college student in my last semester before graduation, this was the most stressful time of my life and I knew I could not afford to have this mark on my record starting my professional career. After reading the reviews on Avvo, checking his business website and seeing the results of his previous cases, I set up a consultation the following Monday. Jason immediately made me feel comfortable in his level of proficiency as a attorney, knowledge of the law and experience in handling DUI cases. Trusting Jason was the best decision I could have ever made. After pleading not guilty and going through a series of delayed court dates, I witnessed the brilliancy of this man at my Motion to Suppress Evidence hearing in the State Court of Chatham County. Jason Cerbone’s cross examination of the arresting police officer got my DUI dismissed. His cross showed the Judge in court that the cop’s testimony was not credible. Following that hearing, the Judge ordered that the failure to yield charge be dismissed and that there was no actual probable cause for my DUI arrest. In other words, all of my charges were dismissed. Finally free of this looming ordeal, I have no one to thank but Jason. He is truly the “Best in the Business,” and worth every red penny (for which he does offer payment plans). If you need a DUI lawyer, your ONLY option is Jason Cerbone.

Jason got my DUI Less safe dropped down to reckless driving. This was my first and only offense so he made it very easy to understand the process and what to expect.
Taylor
Jason was my DUI lawyer. I was charged with DUI under 21 by the Thunderbolt Police. My charge was reduced to reckless driving in the State Court of Chatham County with no DUI on my record. Jason was very informative throughout every step of my case. He was easy to keep in touch with through either phone or the basecamp system. I would highly recommend him to anyone who has been arrested for DUI.
Matthew
Jason took my DUI case on a short notice. He was always prepared. He got the outcome I wanted because I got no jail time and no DUI. Would recommend to anyone being charged with a DUI in the area.
