Yeargan & Kert, LLC: The Home of ‘DUI Jim’

When you see blue lights in your rearview mirror, the panic is real. Yeargan & Kert, LLC, one of Atlanta’s most prominent defense firms, is built to handle that exact moment. The firm is led by James ‘Jim’ Yeargan, widely known in the legal community and across the state as ‘DUI Jim’. With a brand built on being the ultimate authority in DUI defense, Jim and his partner Julie Kert bring a powerhouse combination of experience to the table: they are both former DUI prosecutors. They know exactly how the state builds a case against you because they used to do it themselves. Located in the Northcreek Office Park in Buckhead, the firm operates 24/7, ensuring that no one has to face a night in jail without legal counsel.

Specialized Defense Strategy

While the firm handles a range of criminal matters, their core identity is forged in traffic and alcohol-related defense. Their practice areas include:

• DUI Defense Lawyers: The firm’s flagship service. They handle everything from first-time offenses to felony DUI cases, challenging field sobriety tests, breathalyzer results, and police procedure.
• Traffic Ticket Lawyers: Representing drivers accused of speeding, reckless driving, and hit-and-run, helping to protect driving records and insurance rates.
• Drug Crime Defense Lawyers: Defending clients against possession and distribution charges, often involving illegal search and seizure arguments.
• Administrative License Suspensions: Fighting to save clients’ driver’s licenses at ALS hearings, a critical step often overlooked by general practitioners.

Headquarters at Northcreek Office Park

The firm’s office is located at 3715 Northside Pkwy NW, Building 100, Suite 500. This address places them in the Northcreek Office Park, a professional business complex situated along I-75 in the upscale Paces neighborhood of Buckhead. The location is strategic, offering easy access to the interstate while providing a discreet and professional setting for clients.

A Professional Defense Hub

Clients visiting Suite 500 will find a modern legal office designed for serious business. The Northcreek complex consists of several mid-rise glass buildings surrounded by wooded landscaping. The atmosphere is professional and focused. Jim Yeargan’s team is known for their responsiveness; clients are not left wondering about the status of their case. The office serves as a command center for defense strategies that cover municipal courts across the entire metro Atlanta area.

Parking Convenience

One of the advantages of the Northside Parkway location is the ease of parking. The office park features ample surface parking and deck options for visitors. Unlike the congested streets of downtown, clients can arrive for a consultation without the stress of finding a spot or navigating tight garages. Parking is generally complimentary for visitors.

Accessibility

The office is located right off I-75 at the Northside Parkway exit, making it incredibly easy to reach for clients coming from Cobb County, Sandy Springs, or Downtown Atlanta. While public transit options are limited in this specific corridor, the firm’s 24/7 phone availability ensures that help is always accessible, even if you cannot immediately drive to the office.

Former Prosecutors Fighting for You

The ‘DUI Jim’ brand is more than just a nickname; it is a promise of expertise. Jim Yeargan and Julie Kert have spent years training other lawyers and even police officers on DUI law. They operate on a flat-fee basis for many cases, providing financial clarity during a stressful time. With thousands of cases handled and a reputation for aggressive advocacy, Yeargan & Kert, LLC is the first call for many Atlantans facing criminal charges.
