George T. Pallas

Get to Know Our Miami DUI Attorney

Since 1982, George T. Pallas has exclusively practiced DUI and Criminal Law in Miami-Dade County. Known locally as the "King of the DMV", George has handled more administrative DUI hearings (over 4000) at the Department of Motor Vehicles than almost any lawyer in the entire State of Florida.

He has successfully filed hundreds of appellate level challenges, accounting for success stories in which his client wins his or her license back after suspension. George has handled DMV appeals in almost every jurisdiction in the State of Florida and has earned his reputation with winning results, some of which you can see here.

Education & Background

George attended the University of Miami School of Law and graduated with honors in 1982. He later served as a Professor of Law at the Southeast Florida Institute of Criminal Justice. During his 33 year legal career, George attained the status of an "AV-RATED" attorney with Martindale Hubbell. This honor is bestowed to the top 5% of lawyers in State of Florida.

George has taken well over 100 DUI cases to jury trial throughout his 33 year career, and has appeared in front of every sitting Judge in the Miami-Dade Criminal Courthouse. In 1986, Pallas was successful in convincing a Judge to strike down the statute requiring a jury to find his client guilty of DUI with a blood alcohol level over .10 (State v. Oakley). The case received national media attention, affected thousands of other pending DUI trial cases, and was one of the first of its kind.

George's omnipresence at the Department of Motor Vehicles has shaped the landscape of the law governing administrative hearings and successful DUI challenges throughout the last 30 years. His niche is well served within the Miami Criminal and DUI Defense community, as most lawyers defer and refer to George regarding any issue they face at the DMV.
