Mr. Stephen G. Adkins

Stephen (Steve) Adkins is a Valdosta native through and through, and he brings that local pride and a competitive spirit to every case he handles. With nearly twenty years of experience, Steve has represented clients in over forty different courts across South Georgia, focusing on criminal defense and personal injury. He is particularly well-known for his deep expertise in DUI law. He doesn't just read the reports; he is actually certified in the same field sobriety testing and breathalyzer technology—like the Intoxilyzer 9000—that law enforcement uses. Having represented more than 500 DUI clients, he knows exactly how to spot weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence. Steve’s roots in the community run deep, from his days winning a National Championship with the Valdosta High football team to serving as past president of the Valdosta Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the local Kiwanis Club. Whether he’s teaching as a former adjunct professor or fighting for a client in court, Steve is a dedicated advocate who knows the local landscape inside and out. When he’s off the clock, you’ll likely find him fishing, hunting, or spending time with his family at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church.
