Criminal Defense Attorneys Atlanta

Question: Is it a violation of law for an attorney to advise their client not to return a motor vehicle that has been listed on the NCIC system while they are awaiting trial for theft by conversion?
Recently in a court of law an attorney spoke up when the judge asked their client why the vehicle had not been returned when the client had been indicted for the theft. The attorney replied that he thought the charges were unfair and he advised his client to keep the vehicle. Just before the trial the vehicle was located and seized.

Answer: The attorney advises the client based on the information received from the client and the attorney's level of experience. I cannot tell you if the attorney violated any law. You would probably need a consult for that.Click here to see how to select the right attorney

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.
