They are not just practitioners of the law; they are authors, speakers, and educators who literally ”wrote the book” on DUI defense in Georgia.

Whether dealing with a first-time traffic offense or a complex felony charge, Kohn and Yager provides the elite, high-stakes representation necessary to save their clients’ licenses, careers, and freedom.

Unmatched DUI Defense

Driving Under the Influence (DUI) charges are the cornerstone of the firm’s practice. Kohn and Yager, LLC is famous for their ”No Stone Unturned” approach to DUI defense. Partner Cory Yager is a former police officer who was certified in field sobriety testing, giving him the unique ability to cross-examine arresting officers with their own training manuals. Larry Kohn has handled thousands of DUI cases and is a master negotiator and trial lawyer. They challenge the validity of the traffic stop, the accuracy of the chemical tests, and the officer’s observations. Their goal is to get charges reduced to reckless driving or dismissed entirely, avoiding the life-long stigma of a DUI conviction.

General Criminal Defense

Beyond DUI, the firm offers aggressive representation for a wide range of Criminal Defense matters. They handle cases involving Drug Crimes, theft, domestic violence, and sex offenses. The team understands that a criminal record can destroy future opportunities, and they work tirelessly to secure record restrictions (expungements) whenever possible. Their experience extends to serious traffic violations like hit-and-run and vehicular homicide, where the stakes are highest. They are also skilled in handling juvenile crimes, working to protect the futures of young people who have made mistakes.

The partners have co-authored definitive legal texts such as ”The Georgia DUI Trial Practice Manual.” This academic depth translates into courtroom success, as judges and prosecutors respect their knowledge of the law. They are frequently called upon by the media to comment on high-profile cases and legal developments.
