Criminal Defense Attorney in Gwinnett County

Question: What age in georgia could the victim that was under the age of 16 be brought back to court?

Answer: The question is barely decipherable. I assume that you are asking about a statute of limitations where the victim is under the age of 16. The statute of limitations does not run on a crime against an under age victim until 7 years after the victim turns 18, which means when the victim turns about 15. The prosecutor can bring the victim or the case back to court anytime before that.

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.
