Burglary Defense Attorney

Question: I have a felony burglary charge. What happens if the accuser decides not to press charges against me?

Answer: If you look at the warrant, indictment or other paperwork,it reads the State of Georgia v. YOU, not the VICTIM v. YOU. The victim is a witness for the prosecutor, not the prosecutor. If the witness fails to appear in court, the case will be dismissed. However, the prosecutor, in looking at the case or your record may put pressure on the witness to appear in court. Good luck

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.
