Wieuca Road, N.E., Atlanta, GA 30342 404.881.8866 www.aroralascala.com        As one of the most recognized criminal defense firms in the Southeast, Manny Arora and Michael LaScala successfully advocate for their clients, including hockey star Dany Heatley and the NFL's Adam "Pacman" Jones.      "Our clients aren't case numbers," says Arora, founding partner. "We understand that being accused of a crime or a DUI impacts your family and professional well-being. We go beyond the courtroom and strive to minimize those negative effects. In many instances, we employ a great deal of discretion. Other situations such as those in the 'court of public opinion,' require media guidance. We also work with employers and governing boards to help clients rebuild their reputations and get back on track."      Arora graduated from Georgia Tech with a bachelor's degree in nuclear engineering before entering Georgia State University for his law degree. He began his career as a prosecutor for the U.S. Air Force. He then moved on to serve as a prosecutor in the homicide division of the Fulton County District Attorney's office. Prior to opening Arora & LaScala, he was a partner with Garland, Samuel & Loeb.      Arora continues to serve as a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force Reserve. Named by the Indian Express as one of the top 10 Asian lawyers in the United States, he regularly provides legal analysis on a variety of radio and television programs.      LaScala's experience as a solicitor provides unique insight into the justice system and its prosecutors. He began his career at the City Court of Atlanta, where he prosecuted hundreds of cases, including drug offenses and DUI's. For the past decade, LaScala has specialized in criminal law, primarily DUI defense.      LaScala is a former chairman of the Criminal Law Section of the Atlanta Bar Association. He earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Georgia and his law degree from Loyola University.
