Criminal Defense Attorneys Atlanta

Question: If I damaged property accidentally and never got charged can they come back and charge me later?

Answer:  You have a statute of limitations question. If the property that you damaged was less than $ 500, the state has up to one year to charge you. If the property that you damaged was more than $ 500 then the state has 4 years to bring an accusation or indictment.

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.
