MARIETTA, Ga., Oct. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- The criminal defense law firm has been on a winning-streak for criminal and DUI jury trials over the past two years. The firm defends individuals who have been accused of criminal offenses in of Marietta, Ga.

Marietta criminal defense law firm Blevins & Hong, PC is announcing that it has not lost one criminal or DUI jury trial since the year 2010. The firm's positive track record is a sign of its dedication to aggressively protecting the rights and freedom of its clients.

Being able to reach favorable results for clients in these areas for two straight years is a major accomplishment. The effort can be attributed to the hard work of the firm's highly skilled attorneys, which include former prosecutors and a former law enforcement officer.

Attorney Richard N. Blevins, Jr. formerly served as an assistant district attorney and assistant solicitor general in Cobb County. He has also worked as a detective for the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office, as well as a police officer for the Milledgeville and DeKalb County police departments. Attorney Melissa Brickey formerly worked as a staff attorney to a Cobb County Superior Court Judge. She also served as an assistant solicitor general for the Cobb County Solicitor General's Office. These attorneys' experiences give them an advantage in handling criminal defense cases because they have a more in-depth understanding of how their opponents operate.

Marietta, Ga. has one of the highest crime rates of all communities the country. It has a crime rate of 60.32, meaning there are 60.32 crimes for every 1,000 residents each year, according to NeighborhoodScout.com. It also has a crime index of 5, meaning the city is safer than only 5 percent of other cities in the United States. Because of these higher rates, law enforcement and prosecutors might be even more motivated to come down hard on individuals suspected of committing crimes.

In trials, prosecutors will do everything in their power to portray the defendant as guilty before a jury. For that reason, it is important to have a knowledgeable defense attorney who can identify weaknesses in the prosecution's defense and protect the client's Constitutional rights. The attorneys at Blevins & Hong are committed to taking this type of action, whether it involves showing that the client was falsely accused, demonstrating that there is insufficient evidence for a conviction or using law enforcement's mistakes to get the criminal charges dropped.

In DUI trials, individuals can be convicted if it is proven that he or she was driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or if the person's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.08 or higher. The legal BAC limits can be even lower for commercial drivers and drivers under the age of 21. Prosecutors will often try to use evidence such as field sobriety tests, breath tests and blood tests against the defendant. There are many instances, however, in which these tests can be shown to be problematic and inaccurate.

Blevins & Hong is committed to the continued use of effective defense strategies, and it strives to continue winning successful results for its clients. More information about the firm is available at http://www.MariettaCriminalDefense.com.
