About:

I graduated from the University of Georgia in 1973 with honors and continued my education at the UGA School of Law, completing my degree in 1976. I am a co-author of Georgia's leading DUI legal book and have a practice focused on DUI defense litigation. I have received top ratings from Martindale, Best Lawyers, Super Lawyers, and Best Law Firms in America. Since 1978, I have chaired or co-chaired over 50 legal seminars for the Institute of Continuing Legal Education in Georgia (ICLE-GA). In 1991, I co-authored "101 Ways to Avoid a Drunk Driving Conviction" with Reese I. Joye, Jr. Starting in 1992, I also chaired the first annual 2-day seminar, Defense of Drinking Drivers, managed by ICLE-GA. I spoke at the 1992 and 1993 ATLA conventions. In July 1994, I sponsored the first NHTSA training seminar for DUI defense lawyers in Atlanta, certifying 32 attorneys and expert witnesses as SFST practitioners. In October 1994, I organized and sponsored a seminar called "Mastering Scientific Evidence in DUI-DWI Cases." The three-day event featured a mock trial using real jurors. TCDLA now manages this annual multi-day seminar. In 1995, I helped organize and launch the National College for DUI Defense. I also served as a Regent for several years. I self-published "The Georgia DUI Trial Practice Manual" that year. Thomson-Reuters now publishes it. Along with law partners Larry Kohn and Cory Yager, we annually update the book. The nationally acclaimed DWI-DUI lawyer website, DrunkDrivingDefense.com, originated from my first website created back in August of 1996. I organized and financially backed the inaugural four-day NHTSA training seminar for NHTSA instructors the following year. This high-level training helps criminal defense lawyers understand the “pros” and “cons” of police training programs. Our latest two-day GA BAR seminar was held February 27 & 28, 2025.

"Horrific firm. Update in response to the owners response. I contacted this firm 4 times over the course of about 3 weeks. Every time I called, I was told that I would get a call back soon by someone at the front desk. Eventually, after never receiving a call, I called back once more to which the lady who answered told me that she doesn't know why no one has called me back, but to find a different law firm and that they could not recommend anyone to me. So yes, I did call, over and over, with no response."

"Over all Mr. Head is a fair, honest, genuine lawyer. It felt like I had known him for a long time while he helped me on my case. I had an odd case/situation back in 2019 where the DMV was going to rovoke my license for a misunderstanding while renewing my DL. All medical records indicated I was ok to drive and had no medical conditions or history and clearly stated I was not a danger behind the wheel. The DMV ignored the medical records I had sent, emails, and phone calls/voicemails. Almost 30 years old and I've never been in trouble with the law. This misunderstanding almost cost me to sell my house I had just closed on in 2017. That's when Bubba came in and in less than one week the DMV reinstated my DL. I am beyond grateful for his help and assistance!"

"Bubba Head took all the stress out of this situation and allowed me to focus back on my daily life. I was lost in the beginning of all this but after meeting Bubba Head the very first time I knew I was in good hands, he helped guide me back to putting my attention back on myself and only focusing on the things I can control and that he would take care of the rest. There is no more comfortable feeling then having Bubba Head in my corner."
