As a former felony prosecutor and a former DUI prosecutor in his 25th year of law practice, Mo Wiltshire has seen every type of criminal case in the court system. His prosecution insider background, along with having tried well over a hundred jury trials, establishes that Mo Wiltshire possesses a breadth and depth of experience that is very difficult to find elsewhere. During his service as Solicitor-General, he was commissioned to lead the office charged with the prosecution of DUI offenses in Athens. When his term as Solicitor-General expired, he joined the law firm that became Prior, Daniel & Wiltshire and resumed the private practice of law.
Mo Wiltshire maintains a heavy focus on jury trials in his law practice, including regular and extensive criminal jury trial work in courts throughout Georgia and the Southeast. The practice is limited to criminal defense, and self defense focusing on trial work and on select serious personal injury litigation.
Mo enjoys getting to meet so many good people in his practice and as the government aggressively enforces often over-broad laws he seems to meet more and more every year. Mo has learned to a certainty that the right attorney can make all the difference. He takes to heart the guiding principle of his practice “helping good people in big trouble all over Georgia.”
If he agrees to represent you, Mo will be personally responsible for your case. Your case is no place for on the job training for newly minted attorneys. Unlike at some law firms, when it comes time for your day in court you will not be handed off to a junior associate. While our staff is very talented and capable we know you are hiring Mo Wiltshire for his help. You should expect and will receive the benefit of his many years of winning experience, unique insight and powerful skill set.
With his services in high demand, Mo stays very busy, but because Mo does not take on every case he is offered, he has the time and resources necessary to provide the level of help you need and deserve for your case. Every case does not require a jury trial, but if you need a trial you must have a great lawyer...if you want to win. It is the skill, experience, ability, force of will and talent to win for his clients that separates the good lawyer from the great lawyer.
