Gwinnett County has the second-highest population in the state of Georgia, following Fulton County. Having a population of more than 900k demands a judiciary system on a much larger scale. To even the playing field, a defense attorney with a higher caliber is a necessity in Gwinnett County cases. This densely populated county has fifteen Municipal courts, including the Gwinnett County Recorders Court, also called Gwinnett County Traffic Court. Also, like other counties in Georgia, Gwinnett County has the Superior Court, State Court, Magistrate Court, Probate Court, and Juvenile Court, each of these serving their own purpose within the Judicial system of GA.

A Gwinnett County criminal lawyer should have enough experience and knowledge to know how to defend clients and protect his or her rights in every Gwinnett County courthouse effectively as well as provide useful information and resources to help answer frequently asked questions regarding traffic citations.

These city municipal courts would be the starting point for your criminal case if you were arrested by the police within the city limits where the court resides.

If a particular court allows your Gwinnett County criminal attorney to file an entry of appearance on your behalf, this means you will not need to appear at your arraignment.

Gwinnett Recorder’s Court or Traffic Court May Be Your Starting Point

Sometimes it is in your best interest to go through with a jury trial, usually because your lawyer believes that a jury of your peers will be more empathetic to your circumstances.

Please keep all copies of everything you were handed, including breath test results, towing and impoundment receipts if you were arrested for DUI.
