Attorney Theo Sereebutra

Former Prosecutor Backed by Experience on Both Sides of the Courtroom

For nearly two decades, Theo Sereebutra has been practicing law in Georgia. Prior to working in the field of criminal defense, he spent approximately 7 years as a prosecuting attorney. Although he has experience handling civil law matters, he focuses majority of his practice on criminal law. While Attorney Sereebutra focuses primarily on criminal defense, he also handles select wrongful death and personal injury cases.

As a knowledgeable defense lawyer, he has garnered a reputation for meticulous and aggressive criminal defense. Between his experience as a former prosecutor and his experience as a criminal defense attorney, he is a formidable adversary in the courtroom. Over the course of his career in criminal law, Attorney Sereebutra has personally handled over 1,000 criminal cases. He has been the lead trial attorney in over 50 jury trials involving serious crimes including:

His Former Role as a Prosecutor

Prior to moving into criminal defense, Attorney Sereebutra workedas a prosecutor, handling a broad range of criminal offenses ranging from misdemeanor DUI cases to murder trials. Today, he uses his "insider" knowledge to defend his clients, allowing him to negotiate reduced penalties and sentences for his clients facing serious criminal charges. Additionally, he has represented clients at numerous probation revocation hearings, juvenile trials, bond hearings, and he has litigated countless bench trials.

Attorney Sereebutra has a substantial amount of experience in complex pre-trial motions where he challenged illegal searches and seizures that were conducted by law enforcement. He has also handled a large number of criminal appeals, many of which he successfully argued cases before the Georgia Court of Appeals.

After prosecuting criminal cases for approximately 7 years, Attorney Sereebutra realized his passion for defending the rights of the criminally accused. He eventually went into private practice where he co-founded the law firm of Henrickson & Sereebutra.

5 / 5 stars
Theo Sereebutra represented my grandson in a very complicated DUI case. He was very devoted to getting him the best deal in court and was successful in doing so. We could not have done this without him. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a very caring and experienced attorney. Thank you, Theo.
