Who Claude named
The first week we asked, so there is nothing to compare with yet. Ranked by how many answers named them, then by how early.

Word for word
The full answers
“Who is the best criminal defense lawyer in Atlanta?”
There isn't one objectively "best" criminal defense lawyer in Atlanta. The right choice depends on your charge, your budget, and which court you're in. Most "best lawyer" lists are also marketing, and that includes the first result in my search.
- Kohn & Yager: This is a three-lawyer firm that says it has over 30 cumulative Super Lawyers recognitions and hundreds of 5-star client reviews. Cory Yager and Bubba Head are both rated AV Preeminent by Martindale-Hubbell for 2025. That source is the firm's own blog, so treat the claims as self-reported. The ratings can be checked independently. - Lisa Wells, LLC: This firm is listed on FindLaw with client reviews praising her responsiveness and care. - David West & Associates and Kyle H. Jarzmik Law: Both are also listed on FindLaw's Atlanta criminal defense directory.
I couldn't confirm current operating status beyond these listings, so call to verify before relying on any of them.
How to choose: 1. Check the State Bar of Georgia for good standing and any discipline. 2. Look at Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Super Lawyers ratings, and read the negative reviews as well as the positive ones. 3. Pick a lawyer who handles your type of case often, such as DUI, drug, white-collar, or violent crime. Ask how many similar cases they've taken to trial. 4. Meet two or three lawyers and compare their strategy, fees, and who will actually handle your case. 5. If you can't afford a lawyer, you can request the public defender's office.
If you tell me the type of charge and the county (Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, or Gwinnett), I can help narrow the list.

How we ask
Method
Once a week we ask Claude (Anthropic's assistant) the same fixed questions a person in each city might type, with web search turned on and set to that city, and we ask it to check the web before it answers. We use Claude's API, the version developers build on, so an answer in the Claude app on your phone can differ. These answers were asked the week of Nov 9, 2026.
We show what Claude said, word for word, and count who it named. Besides the question, we ask Claude only to check current information and to list the businesses it named at the end of its answer, which is how we count them. We don't rank anyone ourselves, nobody pays to appear, and our own clients get no special treatment: if a competitor of theirs is named, it's on the list.
AI answers can be wrong. Claude can name a business that has closed or misdescribe one, and we haven't checked each name. Treat this as a record of what Claude says, not a recommendation from Kalydron.
