successful effort in securing the dismissal of
drug possession charges by a client in a

they did with the supposed drug they found!

attorney Marko Burgar helped our client
avoid a conviction for DUI in Cobb County,
Georgia. In an unusual set of facts, client had

litigating a drug possession charge in a
metro Atlanta county, Mr. Burgar obtained a
full dismissal of all charges for our client.
Our client was charged with drug possession
when the driver of a car he had ridden in
was arrested for DUI. Marko Burgar was able
to show a lack of connection between the
two parties and the dubious tactics of the
arresting officers in associating our client
with the incident.

January 2010-A huge success for attorney
Marko Burgar in defending a client accused
of Rape and Aggravated Sexual Battery in a
suburban Atlanta jurisdiction. With client was
facing a life sentence, we undertook an
expansive investigation of the circumstances
of his case which allowed us to present a
defense based on the manner of
transmission of sexually transmitted
diseases, which presented a powerful case
that our client could not have been involved
in the alleged assault. Combined with our
location and identification of several key
witnesses, this defense led to the State
abandoning sexual assault charges against
our client, leaving us with only with
relatively minor charges to resolve.

January 2010-A solid effort by attorney Marko
Burgar led to the state abandoning a DUI
charge against our client in Cobb County. It
was shown that while there was a serious
accident and the client had a history of DUI,
there was simply not enough evidence to
prove he was DUI on this occasion.

January 2010-After 23 months of litigation,
attorney Marko Burgar obtained the
dismissal of DUI and Minor in Possession of

viewed as entirely inappropriate given the
known facts of the case.

attorney Marko Burgar obtained the
dismissal of DUI charges in Atlanta that had

had been delayed as a result of the state's
prosecution. We wish our client Godspeed
and a safe return upon the completion of this
tour.

September 2009-Attorney Marko Burgar
obtained the prompt reduction of DUI
charges for a client accused in a suburban
Atlanta county. In a case that on the surface
seemed to be a vanilla DUI and an easy win
for the State, Mr. Burgar uncovered a wholly
incompetent investigation on the part of the
arresting officers and quickly obtained
concessions from the prosecutors. The client,
eager to resolve her case, accepted the
state's offer to plead to a traffic offense
rather than wait for trial.

July 2009- After nearly a year of litigation,
attorney Marko Burgar secured the reduction
of DUI charges in a southern Atlanta county

hearing led to the excellent compromise
result that saved the client's job and driver's

prosecution

June 2009- Attorney Marko Burgar secured

accident.

the complete dismissal of charges against a
client accused in Gwinnett County of

sentenced to ten years in prison.

April 2009- Another NOT GUITY jury verdict
for a client of Marko Burgar. In a suburban

videotape of our client completely
contradicted the prosecutor's suggestion that
the accused was a less safe driver due to the
influence of alcohol.

alcohol content of .161 and rear-ending

guilty, exonerating our client of the
accusation of DUI.

procedural errors that required that the client
be given a new trial.

the officer of having a blood alcohol content
of .111.

August 2008- Attorney Marko L. Burgar

our client.
