Criminal Defense Lawyers in Metro Atlanta

Question: Can I get my probation (violation) suspended if the charges were dismissed when it finally went to court after my release. I was violated and given more probation and jail time for a supposed violation.

Answer: Yes, your probation can be violated with an offense that is dismissed, because the standard for a new offense is beyond a reasonable doubt, and the violation of probation standard is by a preponderance of the evidence.  Click here to see information on maintaining good relationship with public defender

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.
