A Former Prosecutor On Your Side Defending Your Future

Before entering private practice, Matt Acuff worked for six years as an Assistant District Attorney in Gwinnett County, handling all types of criminal matters before becoming the Managing ADA of the Special Victims Unit – giving him an inside understanding of how criminal cases are investigated, charged, negotiated and tried.

Today, Matt puts that experience to work tenaciously defending the accused. He takes time to understand each client’s case, explain the options and develop a strategy designed to achieve the best possible result — whether through dismissal, negotiation or trial.

When you hire Matt, you work directly with him. Your case is not handed off to another attorney. You get experienced, personal representation from a lawyer who understands how prosecutors build cases and knows how to challenge them.

Since entering private practice, Matt has been recognized as a Rising-Star Super Lawyer, National Trial Lawyers Top 40 Under 40, AVVO Client’s Choice Recipient, and Georgia Super Lawyer.

Criminal Defense

Helping clients facing criminal investigations, assault charges, drug charges, probation violations and other offenses.

Misdemeanor Offenses

Defending individuals against battery, domestic violence, theft, fraud and DUI or traffic charges.

Don’t Wait To Get Legal Help

The sooner you involve an attorney, the better your chances. In criminal cases, getting a lawyer early means they can step in during police investigations, stop you from saying something that could hurt your case and challenge weak evidence before you’re even charged.

In personal injury cases, acting quickly helps protect important evidence, keeps insurance companies from taking advantage of you and ensures you don’t miss important deadlines. Waiting too long can hurt your case and put the money you need for your recovery at risk.
