Law Office of Jay G. Wall is a criminal defense and DUI law firm based in Woodstock, Georgia, United States.[1] It is led by founding attorney Jay G. Wall, a former assistant district attorney in Cherokee County,[2][3] and represents adults and juveniles facing criminal charges[1] in Cherokee and Cobb Counties.[4]
History
The Law Office of Jay G. Wall, LLC was registered as a Georgia limited liability company on May 1, 2016.[5] The Law Office of Jay G. Wall is a family-run practice that Jay G. Wall started with his wife, Christy.[4] Before opening it, Wall served as an assistant district attorney in Cherokee County.[3][6] In August 2026 the firm announced that it had marked ten years as a criminal defense and DUI firm in Georgia.[1] In October 2026 it announced that Wall had reached 20 years practicing criminal law in Georgia, first as a prosecutor and then as a defense attorney, and described the firm as having grown from a single-attorney practice.[6]
In October 2025 the firm published a release on Georgia's DUI laws and their effect on the Towne Lake community in Woodstock.[8] In January 2026 it announced an expansion of its criminal defense services to all of Cherokee County, extending representation beyond its Woodstock base to Canton and Ball Ground.[2] In March 2026 it added attorney Ryan M. Donnelly, a former Cherokee County prosecutor, citing growing demand for criminal defense representation.[7] In June 2026 it issued a release on the defense of traffic violations in Cherokee County.[9]
Practice areas
The firm's website lists criminal defense, DUI, domestic violence, juvenile defense, probation violation, self defense, traffic violations, mental health and background checks as its practice areas.[10] Its press releases describe criminal defense work covering felony and misdemeanor charges, including assault, theft and drug offenses, along with probation violations, juvenile proceedings, self-defense claims and cases involving clients with mental health challenges.[1]
The firm's DUI work addresses both the criminal charge and the client's driving privileges,[1] and includes license reinstatement matters.[6] Its traffic work covers speeding violations, license issues and DMV hearings.[9] The firm states that Wall's experience as a prosecutor informs how it reviews evidence and arrest procedures,[6] and that it works with clients to choose between negotiating a plea agreement, proceeding to trial or seeking a dismissal.[4]
