The Willis Law Firm Team — 50+ Years of Combined Experience

Willis Law Firm is a team of five attorneys with more than 50 years of combined DUI and criminal defense experience. The firm’s depth — a former Gwinnett County State Court DUI prosecutor, three former public defenders, and a SCOTUS-level lead attorney — is a combination no other DUI defense firm in Atlanta can match.
  • Greg Willis — Founder & Lead Attorney | 3 decades of DUI defense experience | Former public defender | President, DUIDLA | 13x Georgia Super Lawyer (2014–2026)
  • Julia Holley — Attorney | Former public defender | DUI and criminal defense
  • Jake Shapiro — Attorney | Former public defender | DUI and criminal defense
  • Alex Grace — Attorney | Former Gwinnett County State Court DUI Prosecutor | Now applies prosecutorial knowledge to build stronger defenses for Willis Law Firm clients
Having a former DUI prosecutor on your defense team is a structural advantage. Alex Grace has stood where the Gwinnett County solicitors stand — evaluating DUI evidence, deciding which cases to push and which to negotiate, and understanding exactly how the prosecution’s internal calculus works. That knowledge is now on your side.

Notable Appellate Cases

In 2019, Greg won the landmark case Elliott v. State in the Georgia Supreme Court, where the Court found that Georgia’s DUI laws were unconstitutional. As a result of this case, all breath test refusals and thousands of breath tests have been deemed inadmissible statewide. The Fulton County Daily Report featured a front-page story explaining Elliott and its significance as the most monumental DUI decision in Georgia’s history. (See attached). Watch the oral arguments here: Elliott v. State Oral Arguments. On January 19, 2022, the Georgia Supreme Court extended this ruling to urine tests, further bolstering our strong defense of DUI charges. These rulings are important for your case because they fundamentally altered the DUI legal landscape in Georgia, rendering all current DUI laws unconstitutional.
