Greg Willis Named President-Elect of the DUI Defense Lawyers Association

The DUI Defense Lawyers Association has named Atlanta attorney Greg Willis as President-Elect. DUIDLA’s leadership page lists Greg in this role, which positions him to help guide national training, amicus strategy, and member resources that shape DUI defense across the country. For clients in Atlanta and throughout Georgia, this leadership reflects the same commitment Greg brings to every case.

What This Means for DUI Clients in Atlanta and Across Georgia

DUIDLA is a national organization that supports advanced training and collaboration among top DUI defense lawyers. As President-Elect, Greg will assist the President, supervise committees, and help ensure an orderly transfer of leadership. The bylaws state that the President-Elect also acts as chief executive officer in the President’s absence. In practice, this means Greg helps set education priorities, seminar agendas, and policy engagement that benefit clients through better courtroom strategy and science-driven advocacy.

Why Greg Was Chosen

Greg’s record speaks for itself. For over a decade he has resolved the vast majority of his DUI cases without a DUI conviction. His track record and courtroom experience have set statewide benchmarks, and his peers regularly invite him to teach on field sobriety evaluations and chemical testing. The firm’s website highlights this sustained results-driven approach to DUI defense.

Landmark Results That Changed Georgia Law

• Elliott v. State (2019): Greg’s constitutional challenge helped establish that a driver’s refusal to submit to a breath test cannot be admitted at trial under Georgia’s Constitution. The Georgia Supreme Court reversed the trial court and invalidated statutes that allowed refusal evidence at trial. This decision reshaped DUI litigation statewide.
• Jones v. State (2012): The Georgia Supreme Court held that an unlawful seizure occurred when an officer blocked a parking lot exit and approached the vehicle. This ruling strengthened Fourth Amendment protections in roadblock-adjacent encounters.
• Parker v. State (2015): The Court clarified that hearsay rules do not bar consideration of materials when a defendant seeks out-of-state witness certificates under the Uniform Act, which aided defense access to Intoxilyzer-related evidence.

These decisions show the kind of advocacy and persistence Greg brings to complex DUI issues, including scientific and constitutional questions that affect everyday cases.

How DUIDLA Leadership Benefits Local Cases

• Better science in the courtroom: Greg’s role helps channel national research and expert training on breath and blood testing back to Georgia cases.
• Sharper field sobriety analysis: DUIDLA’s training resources align with Greg’s focus on challenging standardized field sobriety testing when procedures fall short.
• Stronger amicus support: When key DUI cases move through appellate courts, DUIDLA’s amicus work can provide broader support for constitutional arguments that protect drivers’ rights.
