Felony Defense Attorney in Lawrenceville

Question: I have lived with my boyfriend for 13 years and we have 5 children, 3 of the children are biologically his. We were charged with a felony and convicted and placed on intensive probation. After almost 1 year we violated our curfew and was sentenced to 30 days when we got out our probation officer decided not to let us move to a new residence together and said she will send us to prison if we are caught together again. Can she do this to us??

Answer: Probation officer can dictate a number of terms that he/she thinks will aid in your rehabilitation. Since you cannot remain out of trouble when you are together, she/he is trying apart for a little while. The only recouse you have to take it to the judge, and hope that he prevents that conditions. For that you might need an attorney.

My friend was arrested for two felony forgery counts


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.

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



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

ANSWER:      A felony criminal conviction, a misdemeanor criminal conviction, a 1st offender disposition, a nolo plea, an Alford v. North Carolina plea, and a conditional discharge will not be expunged from your record.

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

ANSWER:      First, 1st 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.

Criminal Defense Attorney in Duluth

Question: If my wife and I are renting a room from my mother, and a search warrant is executed on her residence, can the officers legally search the room my wife and i rent or is that considered a seperate dwelling even though its in the same building?

Answer: The officer typically can search the room, unless it has a lock on the door, and it is clear that she does not have access to the room. If the warrant is for items that point to a crime that your mother is involved in, and there is a lock on your door and your mother tells the police she does not have access to your room, and the police have to break off the lock off of your door, then typically the judge will suppress the evidence against you, which means the officer will search, find the items, but the judge may not allow the items to be used against you. The items may still be used against your mother.

How do I select a good attorney?


If you are searching websites for an attorney to represent you in a criminal matterpersonal 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.

Criminal Defense Attorney in Lawrenceville

Question: What do I do after the sherriffs department arrest the person that shot my house cat with a bow and arrow. They arrested him (he admitted he did it) and let him out on bond. What do I do to make sure he serves time and pays my vet bill. I have no idea where to go from here.

Answer: Contact the DA in your county and let them know that you are interested in the prosecution of the individual. It will be about a year before the case goes to court. SO, exercise some patience. The other alternative is you can hire an attorney to be your liaison with the prosecutor, but you probably do not want to spend $ 1500.

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.

When searching for an attorney you should be focused on two things: energy and experience.  You need to find an attorney that possesses both.  You want to avoid attorneys that have graduated from law school in the last three years, because while they may have a lot of energy, their lack of experience means they will be learning to practice law with your case.  You want to avoid attorneys that have graduated more than fifty years ago, because while they may have a ton of experience, they are often unable to return phone calls or stay awake in court.

Criminal Defense Attorney in Fulton County GA

Question: I pawned a tv that was from a rental company that i was paying for it. I didnt know i was gonna lose my job and not be able to get it out to give back to the rental company or pay the rental company(arrons). So now they are threatening to take out a warrant for my arrest. I just needed the money to help pay bills for my pregnant girlfriend.(she has to eat) This is my first offense and i am currently enrolled at a police academy employed by Fulton County Police Department, Ga. (havent got payed yet to pay it). what could be my consequences in court.

Answer: If you have not been arrested, I an assuming you are scheduled to appear in court for a warrant application hearing. At the hearing, Aaron's will present evidence as to why the warrant should be taken. If Aaron's wins, you will be arrested right there on the spot, and will have to post a bond in order to get out of jail. Because you are short on money, you may not be able to post a bond, which means when you are scheduled to appear for training, you will have an unexcused absence, ending your law enforcement career. Once Fulton finds out about the arrest, I suspect that your career will be over. Therefore, the question for you to answer now is: Do I intend to retain an attorney in order to save my career.

Top Five Reasons Not to Hire a DUI Attorney to Address Your Non-DUI Felony


Potential clients seeking information about the criminal justice process often ask if I specialize in the exact offense with which they are charged.  Of course, no criminal defense attorney specializes in juvenile burglary cases, domestic violence between same sex partners cases, or grandparent child molestation cases.  The reality is there is probably not enough business in any particular area of criminal law to justify additional specialization beyond criminal defense.  I suspect this is true throughout the United States, with one exception: Driving Under the Influence (DUI). 

Driving under the influence (aka driving while intoxicated) is the one area where a number of attorney, especially young attorneys (i.e. graduated from law school in the last four years) choose to specialize.  I suspect there are a number of reasons for that: (1) there are a number of CLE (continuing legal education) classes that focus specifically on training attorneys to defend DUI classes; (2) attorneys that teach other attorneys how to defense DUI cases can justify fees charged for tuition by explaining the voluminous number of DUI arrests every month (DUI arrest numbers are monitored religiously, and that area of criminal defense is actively promoted); (3) DUIs represent the greatest number of police arrests every month, because in our culture “everything is better with alcohol;” (4) DUI clients come from every socio-economic group, and as such many can pay hefty fees for their DUI defense (unlike many criminal clients, DUI client have money to spend on their defense); and (5) unlike other clients, DUI clients are not folks who have had a great deal of contact with the justice system, so they are more anxious and frightened than the average criminal – a fact that the DUI attorney exploits to his advantage.  Irrespective of the reasons why, it is important to note there are more attorneys specializing in DUIs than in any other area of criminal defense.  Unfortunately, many of these DUI attorneys promote themselves as criminal defense attorneys, claiming that they can handle any type of misdemeanor, juvenile or felony case.

Criminal Defense Attorney in Buford

Question: If you are arrested and accused of a crime. Do you have a right to a hard copy of the complete statements which were made against you?. Who can provide this information?

Answer: After you are formally indicted or accused, you can file a discovery motion, in anticipation of jury trial, and the prosecutor must provide all of the evidence against you at least ten days prior to trial. If your attorney is not in place when you get the discovery, you will be at a severe disadvantage.

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:

Question: When you are falsely accused of kidnapping what can kidnapping charges be broken down to?

Answer: If you are falsely accused of kidnapping, you can plead to false imprisonment as the lesser charge, or aggravated assault as a lesser charge or whatever else the prosecutor constructs as a lesser offense. I suspect that the prosecutor will not offer you anything other than kidnapping. Knowing nothing about your case, I suspect that given your limited control of the English language the prosecutor will have no trouble trapping you on corss-examination. I wish you the best of luck.

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.

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.

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 Attorneys - Family Violence Defense Lawyers


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.

Question: I was released on bond for a simple battery charge (misdemeanor) last January. I recently received a letter in the mail stating that i was to appear in court for a bond arraignment. What can i expect to happen in court seeing as though the incident happened over 2 years ago?

Answer: The words "bond arraignment" do NOT appear anywhere in your letter. I suspect that you have an arraignment, where you will plead guilty or not guilty, which has nothing to do with bond. It you have a date that is related to bond it is a bond revocation date, which are extremely rare, but may occur if you have contact with a victim you are not supposed to have contact with. See website for an explanation of all court dates: www.lawrencelewispc.com The fact that the incident happened two years ago has nothing to do with anything. What you can expect in court is a function of how you prepare for court. You walk in with a lawyer, good things will happen.

Criminal defense attorney - violent crimes attorney

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:

Murder Defense Attorney in Lawrenceville

Question: Son was arrested, 07/2000; denied bail; sentenced, 08/2001. Has to served 14 years to be eligible for parole. Does the 14 year count start when he was arrested or when he was sentenced?

Answer: The 14 years begin at the point where he is arrested, IF he was not in custody on any other holds (probation, parole, offense in another jurisdiction). I suspect that he was convicted of MURDER, because in 2001, murder was the only offense for which life meant 14 years before you were eligible for parole. However, you should recognize that he was sentenced to life, which means that he is eligible for parole in 14 years, but may be denied parole on the 14 year, and have to wait another 5-6 years for the next eligibility for parole. The victim's family will have some say in the matter also.

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.
