Felony Defense Attorney in Lilburn

Question: Found a $3000 canoe trapped in a low river while kayaking. Put an ad in lost and found on craigslist and on boater talk for 2 weeks. Tried to sell it and the parks and recreation department posed as buyers, wrote a ticket for misappropriation of property, confiscated the boat and said we would have to go to court. Do I have any recourse?

Answer: Sure you can fight the case. I suspect that you will need an attorney to fight the case. But it appears that your argument is that you tried to locate the owner? IF parks and recreation can establish that the canoe was taken from a secure area, you might have more of a problem.

About Me

I hung a shingle in February 2000, because I saw that individuals charged with criminal offenses were being underserved by the attorneys practicing criminal law. Since February 2000, I have represented more than two thousand criminal clients. I only practice criminal law, but I do everything from violations of probation to Supreme Court appeals. There are few attorneys under the age of sixty that have my level of experience. I have tried more than two hundred major felony jury trials. I have tried more than fifty misdemeanor jury trials. In Philadelphia as a prosecutor, I tried more than two thousand bench trials. I have conducted more than three thousand preliminary hearings and bond hearings. Yet, I still have the energy at forty-five to serve my current clients. There is nothing that will occur in a courtroom that I have not experienced before. When you are looking for an attorney, experience is everything.
