"I was pulled over and arrested for driving while intoxicated and carrying a concealed weapon while under the influence of alcohol. I was referred to Attorney Georgia Konstantakis by a friend and she agreed to take my case. She got the charges of carrying two concealed weapons reduced to only one weapon. The ADA proposed 4 months in the house of correction and Georgia had my case postponed by introducing new evidence. She immediately went to work on proving my exemplary background and getting character witnesses. She contacted the DA numerous times on my behalf and got him to agree to six months in the house of correction, stayed and one year of probation with no weapons and complete sobriety. At my final hearing on May 31st, Georgia spoke for over twenty minutes telling the judge of my achievements and presented about twenty minutes telling the judge of my achievements and presented about twenty character references. She also gave the judge ten reasons, personal and medical, why I should not be sent to jail. The judge denied the ADA his penalty and said I could keep my concealed carry permit, and I should drink responsibly. I was very happy and very PROUD of her and I would highly recommend her to anyone." A.Z.
