Defense For a Broad Range Of Criminal Charges

Following are some of the cases we have handled in our criminal defense practice in South Georgia and Tift, Cook, Crisp and Lowndes Counties:

  • DUI and underage DUI. An individual might face two separate issues: A criminal case and a potential license suspension. Penalties include fines and jail time.
  • Accusations of domestic violence. Georgia laws include physical and emotional abuse as domestic violence. Some perpetrators are married/unmarried partners, family members or caregivers of the victim.
  • Assault. This is defined as the attempt or actions against an individual to cause harm. It also includes acts against an individual who, in turn, may be afraid to be harmed by the aggressor party. Assault is divided into two major degrees, which are simple and aggravated. Simple assault is a misdemeanor, while aggravated assault is a felony.
  • Drugs. If the defendant drove under the influence of drugs, they will likely undergo an alcohol and drug evaluation. In addition, drug possession and possession with intent are serious crimes and may be charged as felonies. Possession with intent to sell is punished with jail time from two to more than 30 years, depending on aggravating factors and the type of substance.
  • Firearms violations. In Georgia, it is illegal to carry firearms or large knives without a permit. However, even with a carry license, some items are prohibited, such as switchblades or tasers.
  • Manslaughter and violent crimes. Our attorneys can help provide the aggressive defense you need when facing crimes involving serious violence.

After reviewing your charges and all matters involved, we will develop a strategy to protect your rights and make every reasonable effort to lessen your charges. We are committed to building an effective defense for you.
