First Appearance

The first appearance hearing normally occurs within forty-eight hours of an arrest.  It is the first court date after a person has been arrested for either a misdemeanor or felony offense.  The brief hearing normally takes place at the jail, where the person detained will be: (1) told his charges; (2) told his bond amount (if any); and (3) asked about representation.

theft by shoplifting misdemeanor -- Theft Attorney

QUESTION:      

      I was charged with a theft by shoplifting misdemeanor, value of the items were13.33 and it was food taken because I didn’t have the money to pay for food and people in my dwelling including myself had nothing to eat. I was given the standard disposition 12 months’ probation, 40 hrs community service and a hefty fine, as well as spent 7 days in jail, I feel that this was an injustice, the time spent in jail was enough. I have no job and no car or reliable source of transportation there for making it difficult as well as a hardship to comply with these orders.  What can I do about this?  Can I appeal?  Also can I get a public defender for this? Please tell me what can I do?

ANSWER:         You can return to court and ask the judge to reconsider the sentence in its entirety (unlikely to work), or ask the judge to convert more of the fine to community service. You need to do as much community service as you can. Why do I think that? You told me. You are in a place where you don`t have $ 15 in your pocket for food. The people in your company do not have $ 15 for food. You do not have a car or a job. Therefore, you need to retrain your mind. You need to find employment, and a better group of people to keep your company. If you volunteer with Habitats for Humanity you will be introduced to people who can substantially improve your situation.

Speedy trial demands

QUESTION:       My friend was arrested for two felony forgery counts.  Bond has been set but there has been no arraignment and no indictment.  He has been sitting in jail for 4 months. He has a public defender whom he has never met.  I spoke to the PD once but he does not return calls.  We want to know if he can request a speedy trial even though there has been no indictment.

ANSWER:         No statutory speedy trial demand can be filed until an indictment or accusation is returned. A constitutional speedy trial demand can be filed, but it does not force the prosecutor to trial quickly. Because your friend is represented, he cannot file either speedy trial demand on his own.

Why should I attend anger management classes?

Q: Why should I attend anger management classes?

A: Anger management classes are the most underutilized resources in the criminal justice system.  If conducted properly, anger management will give you a great deal of insight into why you do what you do.

IT IS NOT ABOUT THE ANGER

                Often times when a person is convicted of some type of family violence, the judge will sentence the person to attend anger management classes, in an effort to help the person learn skills to diffuse or redirect anger, and learn more constructive ways to express anger.  If the person attending the classes is open to the instruction, then he will acquire some tools to diffuse his anger.  If he is really lucky, he will gain some insight into where his anger comes from. 

Anger is often a secondary emotion, which we jump to in order not to feel the pain or vulnerability of the initial emotion.  So, while there may be a great deal of anger in the workplace, at home, at school or on the internet, the anger comes from very different emotional places.  For example, when one person feels afraid, the fear is often quickly replaced by anger.  Fear is associated with being a victim, or being weak, while anger has the power of a victor.   Similarly, hopelessness is associated with being fragile or dependent.  So, the more hopeless a person feels, the more that emotion may demonstrate itself as anger.  Betrayal, shame, jealousy, almost any emotion that has a negative impact on a person’s emotional state can be replaced by anger.  The effect is to feel the anger, rather than the true emotion.

Can I trust my public defender?

Q: Can I trust my public defender?

A: MAYBE, it depends on your level of maturity.  There are a number of reasons the system does not work.

THE TOP FIVE REASONS THE PUBLIC DEFENDER SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK

When a criminal defendant indicates that he is unable to afford an attorney, the judge will often appoint an attorney.  This court appointed attorney represents the defendant at a minimal cost, often just the cost of appointment, which is currently fifty dollars ($50) in Georgia.  Irrespective of whether the indigent criminal defendant is represented by the public defender, court appointed counsel (private attorney that agrees to take court appointed work), or a conflict defender, the relationship is often strained, and the system fails to work.  There are a number of reasons the system does not work:

(5) Clients arrested for criminal offenses have poor judgment.  This should be no real surprise.  Some poor choice has led to the arrest.  Either the criminal client has elected to knowingly participate in criminal activity, OR associate with others who he knows frequently engage in criminal activity.  Either the criminal client has deliberately placed himself in a dangerous locale, OR has followed some friend to a den of iniquity.  I have yet to represent the honor student on his way home from chemistry lab that gets caught up in the drug raid.  I am sure some attorney has, just not me.  Irrespective of how the arrest occurred, the client often gave the officer arresting him plenty of reason to arrest him.

After he is arrested and assigned an attorney to represent him, the criminal client begins the relationship by referring to the court appointed attorney has a “public pretender” or “free lawyer”.  Only an insane person would think it is a good idea to insult the only person standing between the criminal client and a lengthy prison sentence, and justify the insult as a means of motivating the attorney to do more on his case than the next defendant. 

The public defender (aka court appointed attorney) is analogous to public transportation.  When you have no private automobile, the bus will get you there.  It will not pick you up at your door step, or drop you at the front door of your destination.  It may require you to wait before it arrives, and require that you stand during the trip.  It may take longer to get to your destination because other stops must be made.  However, it does get you to your destination, and it is much better than walking.  Similarly, the public defender knows the law, the judge and the prosecutor.  The public defender cannot spend any more time with the client than is necessary to communicate with the client.  The PD cannot be the criminal client’s friend, that is not his job.  If the client charged with a crime thinks the PD cannot properly represent him, if the PD does not get to know the client by spending five hours a week with the client, then the client has poor judgment, because the PD is fighting the charges, not the allegation that the client is a bad person, of low morale character.

Wisdom: The Undervalued Virtue

Almost daily, as I listen to criminal attorneys describe their success, I question whether the attorneys are really helping their criminal clients.  Take the following scenario as an example:

A 23 year old client comes into an attorney’s office with a court date for a DUI.  The client presents a video capturing the vehicle stop to the attorney; and they view it together.  The video shows the client weaving a little within his lane.  He never leaves the lane, or even touches the line on the roadway.  The video also shows the client performing very well on the field sobriety tests.  Then, the client tells the attorney he blew a .17 on the breathalyzer machine.

With that factual scenario in mind, what is the first thing that an experienced attorney should reveal to the client?  The very first thing!  

Most experienced attorneys are going to explain that they can beat the case.  Clearly the case can be won.  It might be won on the motion to suppress the stop, since there was insufficient evidence to warrant a stop of the vehicle.  If might be won on the motion to suppress the breathalyzer results, because there was insufficient evidence to justify the arrest of the client.  Maybe it will be won because the officer was ill-trained to recognize clues indicating impairment.  The issue is not whether, as the attorney, you can win the case, but what do you tell the client first.

What should I expect in terms of a plea offer?

QUESTION:       What should I expect in terms of a plea offer (from the prosecutor) or sentence (from the judge)?

ANSWER:         The plea offer and/or sentence is typically a function of a number of different things:

(1)   Age of the accused

(2)   Age of the victim (if there is a victim)

(3)   The criminal record (GCIC) of the accused

(4)   The nature of the offense

(5)   The quality/experience of the defense attorney

(6)   The jurisdiction where the offense occurred (Fulton County is more lenient than Butts County) 

(7)   How quickly the accused takes responsibility, especially if there are co-defendant against which the accused can testify

(8)    The judge hearing the case (some judges hate burglaries, other hate graffiti)

Criminal records expungement background checks

QUESTION:      My husband has an outstanding background according to the County Police Department.  He had the opportunity to view his background from an attorney who emailed him 20 pages of criminal activity. Of those 20 pages only 5 were actual convictions. What are the necessary steps that we need to take in order to have all of the other fabricated incidents removed.  In our rights we are innocent until PROVEN guilty. What happens when 15 charges that have been dismissed are still appearing on every background that is conducted on him?  Are not those charges that were dropped supposed to be stricken from his record? Most of the incidents were not even arrested just charges. We do believe someone was also using his name in their criminal activity.

Do all arrests stay on one’s record?  And if so, how long?  Most importantly, it is not the arrests that he`s most concerned about, it is the charges that were dismissed and the activity that he has no knowledge of that makes him out to be monster.

ANSWER:         Start here: Your husband has five convictions. Irrespective of whether he has five felony convictions, five misdemeanor convictions or a mix of both, he has five convictions. Therefore, few, if any judges, want to address correcting his NCIC (criminal history). No judge cares about removing from his record five arrests that were eventually dismissed, because your husband has five convictions.  By analogy, it is like coming home and finding that the dog has chewed on all of your shoes and pissed on the couch. You are mad. Then your neighbor explains that everyone`s house on the block except yours has been burglarized.  Are you grateful for the dog at that moment, or are you still mad about the shoes and the couch?  Your husband has prior arrests, where the system worked, and charges were dismissed.  Few judges are going to help you expunge his record of dismissed charges, because he has a hard time finding work, because the judge knows that.....

Does a felony violation of probation of first offender...

Q: Does a felony violation of probation of first offender show up on a background check after the probation is finished?


A: First, 1^st offender does not keep you out of jail/prison, or seal or expunge your criminal record. IF you successfully complete 1st offender, your GCIC (criminal record) will reveal your arrest charges, plea charges (if different from the arrest charges) and the disposition of your case (1st offender).  Second, if you violate probation while on 1st offender, and the judge determines (after a hearing) that you have violated your probation, the judge will adjudicate you and on that date you will have a conviction, which will certainly appear on your record.

When can I get a criminal conviction expunged from my record?

How do I select a good attorney?

If you are searching websites for an attorney to represent you in a criminal matter, personal injury case, worker's compensation case, medical malpractice case, divorce case, or even real estate transaction, then you either:

[ ] do not know you should have a trusted family attorney, or family friend, that practices law, refer you to an attorney that can address your legal problem; or

[ ] do not have a trusted family attorney, or family friend, that practices law.

If you have a trusted family attorney, or family friend, that practices law, then you should forsake your electronic search for an attorney, and rely on your family friend's legal acumen, experience and reputation in referring you to an attorney. 

First, attorneys respond to attorneys.  It is far easier to get an attorney to return another attorney's phone call.  Each attorney recognizes that the other is busy, and will explain the issue in the most succinct manner possible.  The referring attorney will probably not minimize the legal problem, or the possible alternatives.  Neither will the referring attorney give an exasperating explanation of the legal problem, only to end with, "by the way, they have no money."  If the referring attorney violates these aforementioned rules, he will soon find that his colleagues will not return his phone calls.

How do I select a good criminal defense attorney?

February 2011 will mark the start of my twelfth year as a criminal defense attorney.  I spent the first four and a half years, after graduating from Cornell Law School, working as a state prosecutor, both in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Atlanta, Georgia. The last eleven years, I have defended individuals accused of all types of crimes.  During those fifteen years, I worked an average of seventy hours a week, and saw my fair share of justice and lunacy. 

If you have been arrested and/or charged with a criminal offense, you are about to enter the arcane world of criminal law. My first piece of advice in selecting a good criminal defense attorney is similar to the advice offered in selecting a good attorney: Have a trusted family attorney, or family friend that practices law, refer you to a criminal defense attorney. If you do not have such a resource, then you need to take heed of the following advice.

Armed Robbery - Armed robbery defense lawyer

In Georgia, robbery is defined as the taking of the property of another from the immediate presence of another, and is distinguished from other types of theft.  When Mr. X enters Ms. Y’s residence without her permission and removes her property without Ms. Y’s knowledge that is a burglary (O.C.G.A. § 16-7-1), not a robbery.  When Mr. X enters Ms. Y’s automobile without her permission and removes her property that is an entering auto (O.C.G.A. § 16-8-18), not a robbery.  When Mr. X, armed with a firearm or weapon, takes Ms. Y’s vehicle by force, or intimidation that is a hijacking of motor vehicle (O.C.G.A. § 16-5-44.1), and may also be an armed robbery.  Both armed robbery and hijacking a motor vehicle carry a mandatory minimum punishment of ten years in prison, but while hijacking carries a maximum punishment of twenty years in prison, armed robbery carries a maximum punishment of life in prison, which means thirty years in prison, before the defendant is eligible for parole.

Family Violence - Family Violence Attorneys

Family violence, also known as Domestic violence, refers to physical harm inflicted on one member of a household or family, by another member of the same household or family (usually between spouses). Domestic violence, sometimes called spousal abuse when it involves a husband and wife, usually involves repetitive physical and psychological abuse, and a "cycle of violence".  Specific crimes charged vary based on: (1) the severity of the victim`s injuries; (2) whether a minor was present; and (3) whether a protective or restraining order was in place at the time of the violence. First, the severity of the victim’s injury will determine whether the police and/or prosecutor will charge the accused with simple battery, aggravated assault and/or aggravated battery.  Second, if a minor was present to witness the domestic violence, there will certainly be a charge of Cruelty to Children put upon the accused, for allowing the child to witness the violence.  Third, if there is a protective order in place when the domestic violence occurs, the accused will probably be charged with Aggravated Stalking, which requires a Superior Court judge to set bond.

People charged with sexual assault or child sex offenses face hostile prosecutors and harsh public opinion.  Most people, even some criminal defense attorneys, are only too willing to believe the worst about those accused of sex offenses.  Our firm knows that not all people accused of sex offenses are in fact guilty of the charges.  We believe that those facing such grave charges deserve the best possible defense and representation. 

            At Lawrence Lewis, P.C. we recognize that a conviction for a sex crime will almost certainly result in prison time, lifetime registration as a sex offender, and a permanently destroyed reputation.  In 2006, sex offender laws were overhauled in Georgia, and four (4) sexual offenses were modified to require a mandatory minimum life in prison, which means thirty years in prison before the convicted person is considered for parole.

Violent Crimes - Lawrenceville Attorneys

A violent crime is a criminal offense that is committed with the use of violence, or with threats of violence.  When a person commits a violent crime, the violence is usually just a means to an end.  In recent years, violent crimes have escalated in the state of Georgia, especially amongst the adolescent, male demographic.  In hopes of decreasing instances of violent crimes, law enforcement and legislation has become very strict when dealing with violent crime offenders.  People who are convicted of committing a violent crime should expect to spend substantial time in prison, in addition to paying fines, paying restitution and performing community service.  For these reasons, it is very important to consult a violent crimes lawyer when facing criminal charges involving violence.   

The violent crimes defense attorneys and lawyers at Lawrence Lewis, P.C. are dedicated to defending clients who have been arrested for or charged with any type of violent crime in or around the metro-Atlanta area.  According to the law, numerous illegal acts are categorized as violent crimes in the state of Georgia:

Top Five Reasons Not to Present Yourself

I get at least two requests weekly on how to expunge a criminal conviction to some minor offense that was committed years ago, which is impacting work opportunities.   What is painfully obvious in many of the requests is: (1) a good attorney would have beat the charges outright, and there would have been no conviction; and (2) the person had no idea of the impact that the plea would have on his/her life years later.  In many instances, the accused entered a guilty plea without the benefit of an attorney, because: (1) the accused did not think the charge was serious; (2) the accused thought the plea from the friendly prosecutor was a good deal; or (3) the accused claims he could not afford an attorney.  As a criminal attorney that hires real estate attorneys when I buy property, I cannot imagine any scenario in court where going pro se is a sound idea.

Drug Offenses - Lawrenceville Drug Offenses Attorneys

Federal and state drug possession laws make it a crime to knowingly and willfully possess illegal controlled substances such as marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, LSD, and heroin. These laws also criminalize the possession of "precursor" chemicals used in drug cultivation and manufacturing, as well as certain accessories related to drug use.  Drug possession laws vary according to drug type and amount of the drug.  Possession of small quantities may be deemed “simple” possession (O.C.G.A. § 16-13-30(a)), while possession of larger amounts may result in a charge of possession with intent to distribute (O.C.G.A. § 16-13-30(b)) or trafficking (O.C.G.A. § 16-13-31).  Drug crimes spring from a wide variety of fact patterns.  At Lawrence Lewis, P.C., we have represented people who have been accused of growing, selling, producing, importing, delivering, possessing and trafficking drugs.  The drugs involved in these cases have included cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, ecstasy and marijuana.  In addition, in recent years, law enforcement and prosecutors have begun to rely on wire taps and other clandestine surveillance techniques to apprehend and prosecute individuals suspected of involvement in the drug trade.  The use of wire taps has added great complexity to the defense of individuals accused of drug offenses, and overwhelmed most novice criminal defense attorneys.  Few attorneys have handled as many wiretap cases as Lawrence Lewis.

Top Five Fights That Lead to Domestic Violence

Irrespective of whether it is a mild push or a violent beating, domestic violence (aka family violence) is particularly disruptive to the constructive development of each family member.  The accused is typically arrested and jailed, the victim’s esteem is negatively affected, and every family member that witnesses or hears the assault is placed in the precarious position of choosing sides.  Much of the domestic violence that occurs can be avoided by avoiding the behavior or arguments that lead to domestic violence.  The top five fights that lead to domestic violence typically center around: 

(5) Drinking (alcohol) or drug use

(4) Cheating or womanizing

(3) Time

(2) Money 

(1) Poor communication

Substance abuse, primarily alcohol consumption, dominates many fights that lead to domestic violence. Unfortunately, most sober spouses choose to confront the drinking spouse while the drinking spouse is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, which is the worse time to argue about the substance abuse.  If there is going to be any confrontation, the sober spouse should try and press the issue when neither spouse is under the influence of alcohol.  The typical scenario goes like this:

Husband arrives home extremely late and extremely drunk.  Of course he cannot carry on an intelligent conversation, but the wife, who has had a challenging day herself, is fed up with the drinking, broken promises that come with drinking and irresponsibility.  So, she confronts the drunk husband and fight ensues, replete with shoving, punching and furniture being overturned.

As the sober spouse, if you choose a sober moment for the confrontation, you can often avoid the 911 calls, bail bond expenses, and domestic violence attorney expenses.

DEPOSIT ACCOUNT FRAUD – FORGERY – FINANCIAL IDENTITY FRAUD

In these tough economic times, some folks have acted in desperation, writing checks for goods and services either hoping there will be enough money to cover the check, or worse, knowing there is not enough money in their accounts to cover the checks.  Most don’t realize that writing a bad check is a criminal offense, and that more and more businesses receiving those bad checks are pursuing criminal warrants.  Unlike violent crime (e.g. armed robbery, aggravated battery), “paper crimes” are often viewed as less serious offenses.  Nonetheless, prosecutors are recommending, and judges are handing out, steep penalties, including substantial jail time for individuals convicted of paper crimes.  Often times the severity of the sentence depends on: (1) the criminal offense at issue; (2) the number of prior convictions for paper crimes; and (3) the amount of money involved.

Burglary Defense Attorney

 In Georgia, burglary is defined as entering the dwelling of another without authority with the intent to commit a felony or theft.  Intent to steal or commit a felony need not be formed at the precise moment of entry, but can be formed thereafter while the perpetrator is remaining on the premises. State v. Jones, 291 Ga. App. 296 (2008).  Although burglary is often regarded as a type of theft crime, Georgia recognizes that any non-theft felony (e.g. aggravated assault, aggravated stalking) can give rise to a burglary charge.  More importantly, it is not necessary to actually commit a theft or felony, in order to complete the crime of burglary. State v. Alexander, 279 Ga. App. 683 (2005).  As long at the intent in entering the premises is to commit a felony or theft, the burglary statute (O.C.G.A. § 16-7-1(a)) permits the prosecutor to seek an indictment for the offense of burglary.
