Criminal Defense and Related Services
DUI DEFENSE
A DUI charge in Georgia can affect your license, insurance, job and criminal record. We review the traffic stop, field sobriety testing and breath or blood evidence for possible legal challenges.
RECKLESS DRIVING
A reckless driving conviction may lead to points, higher insurance costs and a criminal record.
DRUG POSSESSION
Even a misdemeanor drug charge can create problems for employment, school, housing, and your future. We look at search issues, probable cause, possession evidence, and options that may help avoid a conviction.
RECORD RESTRICTION
Record restriction may limit public access to eligible Georgia criminal records. It does not permanently delete or destroy the record, and judicial officials and criminal justice agencies retain access to it.
EARLY PROBATION TERMINATION
Early probation termination may end court supervision for eligible individuals before the scheduled completion date.
ASSAULT and SIMPLE BATTERY
For an assault or battery charge, discuss possible penalties, evidence and defense options with a lawyer.

Criminal Defense FAQs
Answers to common questions about criminal charges, court appearances, arrests, and protecting your rights in Georgia.
Should I talk to the police after an arrest?
If police question you while you are in custody, you can state that you wish to remain silent and ask for an attorney. Identification requirements depend on the circumstances; ask counsel what applies to your encounter.
Will I go to jail for a first offense?
It depends on the charge, your record, the facts, and the court. A defense attorney can explain the possible penalties and work to reduce the consequences.
Should I plead guilty at my court date?
Discuss the consequences of any plea with a criminal defense attorney before deciding how to respond. Check the court date and appearance requirements on your notice.
Can a criminal record be restricted in Georgia?
Some cases may qualify for record restriction, depending on the charge, outcome and Georgia law. Restriction does not permanently delete or destroy the record; judicial officials and criminal justice agencies retain access to it.
What happens at arraignment?
At an arraignment, the charge is formally presented and a plea is entered. Having an attorney involved before this date can help protect your options.
