Criminal Defense

When faced with a criminal accusation there are so many questions one has, such as navigating the bond process, how to handle a call from an investigator, or what is going to happen when you go to court. The process can seem unyielding and confusing, and often it feels as if the entire system is working against you. Criminal charges can result in incarceration, probation, fines, community service, and court ordered classes and tests.

Having an experienced and knowledgeable attorney is absolutely necessary to successfully navigate the criminal justice process. We understand the stress that accompanies a criminal charge for both the client and their families. We strive to help our clients through this troubling time, arm them with as much information as necessary, and develop a solid strategic plan in order to get the best possible outcomes.

Violent Crime

If you have committed or have been accused of committing any violent offenses you need to retain an attorney immediately. The crimes carry very serious punishments and having professional assistance in defending against them is crucial.

Drug Offenses

If you have been arrested or you are under investigation by law enforcement for any type of drug offense, time is of the essence and you should call an attorney immediately.

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence allegations are taken very seriously in the Georgia Criminal Justice System and can lead to the loss of a very important Constitutional right. Obtaining competent representation is of the utmost importance if facing an allegation of domestic violence.

Sex Offenses

Individuals accused of sex crimes face a number of severe legal penalties as well as damage to the individual's reputation and difficulty leading a normal life during the pendency of the case.

Theft Offenses

There are several kinds of theft offenses under Georgia law and each has different elements that need to be proven by the State's Attorney to get a conviction. If you have been accused of any theft crime it is important that you obtain knowledgeable counsel to mount a defense in your case.

Driving under the Influence (DUI)

A Georgia DUI is a serious offense and can have lasting impact for your life, your insurance, and your license. If you are charged with a DUI, your license may be in extreme danger of being revoked and there is a small window of time to contact the Georgia Department of Driver Services to avoid this automatic suspension. Contact an attorney immediately after an arrest for DUI.

Traffic Offenses

Before you just pay your Georgia traffic or speeding ticket, please consult with an experienced attorney. It could save you hundreds in increased insurance costs, excessive fines, and potential loss in your ability to drive.

Defense for University of West Georgia Students

Unfortunately, students at the University of West Georgia can find themselves arrested with a crime. In addition to criminal sanctions, the student can also face severe educational consequences.
