About Patrick

Patrick Kunes is a member of the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (GACDL), the Georgia Defense of DUI Drivers (DODD) Group, and past president of Tifton Bar Association. He is certified in “Standardized Field Sobriety Testing” and “DUI Detection” by ex-law enforcement instructors.

Patrick handles speeding cases statewide across Georgia and is often able to get tickets reduced without you having to make a court appearance.  In many situations he can help drivers with "Super Speeder" fines and keep their citation from being reported to insurance company.

Most Criminal cases including DUI are set on a flat fee. Costs such as ordering transcripts or hiring expert witnesses will be paid by the client. Personal Injury and Car Wreck cases are taken on a contingency basis, meaning that we don't collect a dime unless you win.

How will a Georgia Speeding Ticket affect me?



  Georgia does not assess points for speeds 14 m.p.h over the limit and slower.  They assess 2 points for speeds 15-18 m.p.h, 3 points for 19-23 m.p.h, 4 points for 24-33 m.p.h. and 6 points for 34 m.p.h and up.  You can also be charged with Reckless Driving for speeds 24 m.p.h and up.  


  If you have an out of state license, you should consult a local attorney because points will be assessed based on your home state's point schedule even though your citation is from Georgia.  


  Some insurance companies view the Super Speeder designation as a form of reckless driving, so your insurance premiums may be adversely effected by this ticket.  If you have already paid the county fine without knowing about the Super Speeder penalties, you may seek to have your case re-opened if it is still within 180 days.  


  If you have recieved a speeding ticket or other moving violation in the State of Georgia do no hesitate to call 229-382 for a free consultation.  Often times we are able to negotiate your ticket down to a speed where points do not apply and keep the ticket from being reported to the Georgia Department of Driver Services.  This ensures that the ticket will not be reported to any other state agency or to your insurance company.
