Attorney George Yates became a member of the Virginia Bar in 1982 and took a job in Florida, where he practiced briefly before returning home to Virginia Beach in early 1984.
Yates true calling was criminal defense, and so he left to start his own practice in 1989.

DUI convictions can lead to serious penalties including jail time. No matter how dire your situation may appear to be, George is confident that he can leverage his experience to your benefit.
