Practice Overview

Experienced Georgia Trial Lawyer

Appearing in criminal court is no picnic. It is a serious matter when you've been charged with any criminal offense, because a conviction can affect your freedom and your mobility.

I have handled criminal law matters since 2001 and was a public defender for 3 years in a high volume jurisdiction in Baltimore County, Maryland. Prior to opening my own practice, I served in the Cobb County Prosecutor's Office as an assistant solicitor. This experience gave me considerable insight into the workings of the prosecution process. I now use that knowledge to anticipate and counter prosecutor's strategies in defense of my clients.

Felonies

• Burglary
• Theft
• Aggravated assault
• Drug trafficking
• Possession of controlled substances

Misdemeanors

• Petty theft
• Marijuana possession
• Battery
• Child deprivation
• Child abandonment

I represent individuals in cases involving DUI/DWI, drug possession and trafficking, probation violations and traffic violations. In addition, I represent clients in Juvenile Court cases.

Defending Your Rights

You are entitled to due process under the law and you are entitled to representation by an attorney. Together, you and I will defend your rights in court. Perhaps you want to avoid jail time or hope for reduced fines. Perhaps you'd like to avoid having a criminal record.

My knowledge and experience in these matters may assist you in achieving those goals. I have helped hundreds of clients in criminal court cases, many of whom did not deserve to be prosecuted at all.

Navigating the Criminal Court Process

I will answer all your questions and help you navigate through all criminal court proceedings. I will also advise you about the risks and advantages of every choice, allowing you to make informed decisions about your defense.

I invite you to contact my office and arrange for a free initial appointment. I will evaluate your case and advise you of your legal options. I look forward to working with you. Please note I accept all forms of payment.
