Not all criminal defense firms are equal. Our three-attorney firm focuses exclusively on criminal law and traffic defense — we don't split our attention with personal injury or divorce cases. Here's what sets us apart:
Our Atlanta criminal attorneys handle the full range of misdemeanor and felony charges in Georgia courts. About 70% of our caseload involves motor vehicle-related criminal offenses including DUI defense, but our expertise extends to every area of criminal law.
We defend clients charged with:
If convicted of a serious vehicular offense involving death or severe injury, a defendant can face up to 15 years in prison. That level of risk is why so many people trust our experienced Atlanta criminal lawyers to handle their defense.
Millions of traffic citations are issued in metro Atlanta every year, and every moving violation in Georgia is classified as a misdemeanor crime — meaning jail time is technically possible. Our Atlanta traffic lawyers defend clients in every traffic court across the metro area, from simple speeding tickets to reckless driving and GA super speeder charges.
A traffic conviction can add points to your license, increase your insurance rates, and create a permanent criminal record. Accumulating 15 points within 24 months results in license suspension.
Georgia's "super speeder" law adds a $200 state fee on top of fines for speeds of 75+ mph on two-lane roads or 85+ mph on highways. An experienced Atlanta traffic lawyer can often negotiate reduced charges, attend court on your behalf, or get cases dismissed entirely
Our attorneys appear in every major traffic court in metro Atlanta. We maintain four office locations across the metro area to ensure we are always close to the courthouses where your case is heard.
