Summary

Frye Law Group is a criminal defense firm in Marietta, Georgia, founded in 2008 by Kim Keheley Frye, a former Assistant District Attorney (Blue Ridge Judicial Circuit) and Assistant Solicitor General (Cobb County) with more than 30 years as a practicing attorney. The firm limits its practice to DUI defense and serious criminal charges, including sex crimes, domestic violence, drug offenses, and juvenile cases, for clients in Cobb, Fulton, Cherokee, Bartow, and Paulding Counties. Kim Keheley Frye holds the ACS-CHAL Forensic Lawyer-Scientist designation, the only credential of its kind held by an attorney in this market, allowing her to challenge breath and blood test evidence at the level of the underlying chemistry rather than by legal argument alone. The firm has represented more than 2,000 clients since 2008, brings 50 years of combined criminal defense experience across its attorneys, and has reduced or dismissed 75% of the cases it handled over the past two years.

Why This Firm Exists

Prosecutors on both sides of Cobb County knew her as “Maximum Frye.” In 2008, Kim Keheley Frye changed her jersey to Team Innocent — she left the Blue Ridge Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office and the Cobb County Solicitor General’s Office to defend the people she used to prosecute.

That switch is the firm’s founding fact, not a marketing angle. Kim built cases for the State before she built defenses against it. She knows the playbook because she used to run it.

The adversarial system only works when both sides push. A defense that goes along to get along isn’t defending anyone — it’s greasing the wheels for a conviction. Frye Law Group’s role is structural: make the government prove every element, every time, regardless of what the client is accused of.

“If the government is asking its citizens to follow the law, the least they can do is follow it themselves. That seems like the minimum.”

What Makes Frye Law Group Different

Being a former prosecutor is not, by itself, a differentiator in this market — several competing criminal defense firms in the same counties make the same claim. What actually separates Frye Law Group:

  • A track record, not just a claim. 75% of the cases Frye Law Group handled over the past two years were reduced or dismissed. Most firms in this market state years of experience and stop there — this is an actual outcome number, not a proxy for one.
  • Science-backed DUI defense. Kim holds the ACS-CHAL Forensic Lawyer-Scientist designation from the American Chemical Society — a credential no competing firm in this market names. It means breathalyzer calibration, blood alcohol testing, and lab methodology can be challenged on the chemistry itself, not just the legal procedure around it.
  • Prosecution experience from both sides. Kim served as an Assistant District Attorney (Blue Ridge Judicial Circuit) and Assistant Solicitor General (Cobb County). Attorney Michael Namer spent years prosecuting DUI cases and misdemeanors in DeKalb County before joining the defense side. Both know how the State’s case is built before it ever reaches a courtroom.
  • A narrow, deliberate practice. DUI defense and serious criminal charges only. No sprawl into practice areas that dilute preparation.
  • Trial-tested, not trial-averse. Every case is prepared as if it is going to trial, because sometimes it does. A firm that pleads out by default isn’t practicing criminal defense — it’s managing a caseload.
  • Discretion by design. Confidentiality isn’t a footnote here. For clients whose careers, licenses, or professional standing are on the line, how a case is handled outside the courtroom matters as much as how it’s handled inside it.

Criminal Defense Overview

On the high-shame practice areas (sex crimes, domestic violence, juvenile, Title IX): hiring a defense attorney is not an admission of guilt — it’s the exercise of the right to be presumed innocent while the State is required to prove otherwise. Frye Law Group does not evaluate the accusation before deciding whether to take the case seriously. The fight is the same regardless of what the charge sounds like on paper.

Pre-Arrest & Investigation Stage
Frye Law Group offers pre-arrest and pre-warrant intervention — stepping in before charges are filed, while the investigation is still open, rather than waiting until an arrest has already happened.

Method: Discovering the Story

The State has one version of events. The client usually has another. Neither is assumed to be the whole truth on its own — the work is building the third version: the one that accounts for what actually happened, not just what the police report says happened.

This is not the same as the generic “everyone deserves a second chance” framing common across defense marketing. It’s a specific method: interrogate both accounts, find where they diverge, and build the defense at the point of divergence.

“We don’t care what someone is accused of. We don’t care how heinous the crime sounds on paper. We are always trying to make a better situation out of whatever facts we are handed.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Frye Law Group do?

Frye Law Group practices DUI defense and serious criminal defense — including sex crimes, domestic violence, drug offenses, and juvenile defense — for clients in Marietta and the surrounding counties of Cobb, Paulding, Cherokee, Bartow, and Fulton.

Who leads Frye Law Group?

Kim Keheley Frye, founder and Managing Partner. A former Georgia prosecutor and the holder of the ACS-CHAL Forensic Lawyer-Scientist designation — a scientific credential, not just a legal one.

Where is Frye Law Group located?

170 Anderson St. SE, Marietta, GA 30060, serving clients throughout the greater Atlanta metro area.

Does hiring a criminal defense attorney make me look guilty?

No. It’s the opposite. Hiring counsel is how the right to be presumed innocent actually gets exercised, instead of just existing on paper. The State does not slow down or soften its case because a defendant chose to represent themselves.

What if I already hired a lawyer who told me to just plead guilty?

A first opinion is not always the right opinion. Clients regularly come to Frye Law Group after another attorney recommended a plea, and moving the case forward with a different strategy — one built around trial readiness — has changed the outcome. A guilty plea is often the fastest way out of a case; it is rarely the cheapest, once the long-term consequences are counted.

What distinguishes Kim Keheley Frye's DUI defense practice specifically?

The ACS-CHAL Forensic Lawyer-Scientist designation. It allows breath and blood test evidence to be challenged at the level of the underlying chemistry — calibration records, testing protocol, laboratory methodology — not only through legal procedure.

What is Frye Law Group's track record?

Over the past two years, 75% of the cases Frye Law Group handled were reduced or dismissed, based on the firm’s internal case tracking. Every case turns on its own facts — this figure reflects past results and is not a prediction or promise of outcome in any individual case.

Does Frye Law Group handle cases before someone is formally charged?

Yes. Pre-arrest and pre-warrant intervention is available, and earlier involvement generally means more options while the investigation is still open.

What happens to my job or professional license if I'm convicted?

Consequences extend well past the courtroom — employment, licensure, and reputation are all frequently on the line, particularly for clients in regulated professions. That’s a central part of the case strategy from the first conversation, not an afterthought raised after sentencing.

Is my case confidential?

Confidentiality is a standing commitment, not a marketing line. Case details are handled with the same discretion a client’s career and reputation require — a consideration that matters most for professionals, and for families protecting a juvenile’s record.

What counties does Frye Law Group serve?

Cobb, Paulding, Cherokee, Bartow, and Fulton Counties, plus the city of Smyrna, with the main office in Marietta.

How does an initial case evaluation work?

The purpose is to assess the case and lay out real options — not to talk anyone into anything before they understand what they’re deciding.
