Jessica Ruth Towne

Jessica Towne is a respected attorney and former Gwinnett County prosecutor. She is the author of the books “How to Choose a Georgia DUI Lawyer” and “What You Should Know About Georgia DUI Laws.” During her twenty-plus-year legal career, she has given dozens of lectures on constitutional law, trial practice, and the admissibility of scientific evidence in court. She is a member of many legal societies, and as served as President of both the Gwinnett County Bar Association and the Criminal Defense Section of Gwinnett County Bar Association, and as the Vice President of the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and a 2012 & 2013 Super Lawyer. Ms. Towne’s DUI courtroom expertise was firmly established in 1999, when she and her partner, David Clark, won Love v. State, which struck down Georgia’s DUI-marijuana law as unconstitutional. That same year, they kept laser speeding guns from being used in Georgia. (The short-lived victory was hastily undone by the Georgia Legislature, which feared loss of revenue and passed a law stating that any police anywhere can use any laser gun.) Since then, Ms. Towne has won numerous key cases, while continuing to bring justice to her clients in the areas of DUI, traffic law, and similar offenses. Her law practice, Jessica R. Towne PC, is located in Lawrenceville, just outside Atlanta, GA.
