Attorney Biography
William C Head, a preeminent criminal litigation attorney based in Atlanta, GA, has established a remarkable reputation over his 45-year tenure as a licensed Georgia lawyer. Renowned nationally for his expertise in both felony and misdemeanor DUI defense, vehicular homicide in Georgia, and a wide spectrum of criminal law cases, Mr. Head has also distinguished himself as a prolific legal author for over three decades. Among his peers and close companions, he is affectionately known as “Bubba.”
Since 2000, William Head has held Board Certification in DUI Defense Law from the National College for DUI Defense, an institution he conceptualized in 1994. To bring this vision to life, he gathered fellow criminal defense attorneys, who were also accomplished DUI book authors and speakers, to form the organization. Their inaugural event, “Mastering Scientific Evidence in DUI-DWI Cases,” was held in October 1994 at the JW Marriott Hotel in Buckhead, Atlanta.
In 1999, Mr. Head pioneered the first online directory for DUI defense attorneys, www.DrunkDrivingDefense.com. His prolific writing includes authoring or co-authoring twelve books, numerous book chapters, and various articles on criminal trial practice and DUI defense strategies. His works include notable titles like “101 Ways to Avoid a Drunk Driving Conviction” (1991) and the “Georgia DUI Trial Practice Manual,” co-authored with Frank T. Gomez, and continuously updated by Thomson Reuters from 2000 to 2019. Another significant contribution is “The DUI Book,” a comprehensive 430-page manual for clients facing DUI charges.
William Head’s exceptional ethical standards and legal competence have earned him an “AV” rating from Martindale-Hubbell, securing his place on its Pre-Eminent List of Law Firms for over 25 years. His peers in the National College for DUI Defense honored him as America’s Top DUI Lawyer in 2003, a singular accolade in the organization’s history.
Throughout his illustrious career, Mr. Head has been featured in over 100 television and radio programs and has amassed over 900 video clips discussing DUI law online. His exemplary work has garnered top ratings from numerous attorney rating services, including SuperLawyers from 2004 to 2019, AVVO, and Best Lawyers in America from 2009 to 2019, which named him Lawyer of the Year in Georgia for DUI Defense in both 2012 and 2017.
