North Atlanta, Marietta and Roswell Criminal Defense Attorney
Many people take the attitude that a person accused of a crime is guilty. It is my job as a criminal defense lawyer to protect your rights and to examine every detail of the state's case to determine whether there are holes in the story that led to your arrest.
If you have been accused of driving under the influence, domestic violence or any other criminal charge, I will stand between you and the state to protect your reputation and your future.
The following links provide information about specific kinds of criminal defense cases:
- DUI defense: Following an arrest for DUI, you must act quickly to protect your ability to drive. In Georgia, you only have 10 days to challenge the suspension of your driver's license by the Division of Driver Services (DDS). Failing to request a hearing may cause your driver's license to be suspended for one year.
- Drug offenses: A skilled defense lawyer knows how to protect your rights by holding the prosecution to its burden of proof and providing aggressive advocacy in the courtroom.
- Sex offenses: Whether you have been accused of rape or another sex crime, you will need knowledgeable legal advice to protect yourself from consequences such as sex offender registration.
- Family violence: When a domestic conflict triggers a call to the police, what was once a private or family matter is now an issue of the state versus the accused.
- Probation violations: There is no bond for violating probation. In Violation of Probation (VOP) cases, you often cannot just post a bond and walk out of jail. Or if you do, you may be back after wasting your bond money. For this reason, you should speak with an experienced probation violations lawyer.
- Juvenile law: Juvenile law is less about punishment than it is about restoring structure in a young person's life after a criminal arrest. I take very seriously my responsibility to help put young offenders on the right track.
