riminal Defense Attorneys Norcross

Question: My husband who is a licensed security guard was on duty and approched by an agressive pit bull. When the dog charged at him, he fired a warning shot into the ground in front of the dog. He did not aim at the dog on purpose. The city arrested him on discharging a fire arm in city limits, and endangering public safety. Shouldn't what he did fall under self defense? They now want to combine both charges and plead out to wreckless conduct. This will be on his record. Should he have let the dog bite him, or gone ahead and shot it?

Answer: Is your question meant to be rhetorical? Of course, he should not have allowed the dog to bite. That is not the issue. The issue is: Do you intend to retain an attorney to argue that to a jury, or will your husband take a plea, and whine about how the prosecutor should have dismissed the charges? That is the issue. click here to see how to find 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.
