Criminal Defense Lawyers Gwinnett County

Question:  I Have a friend in a Georgia state prison. He and I were conversing via cell phone and his phone was confiscated with my number in it. The guards called and told me I was in breach of O.C.G.A 42-5-18. I have looked it up and it says nothing about talking to a prisoner, just suppling contraband. The officer did ask if I had been suppling contraband, but I have not even seen him face to face in over 25yrs. I just want to know if I have anything to worry about.

Answer: It depends. If you are the worrying type, then I would worry, because state officials from the penitentiary phoned me, and I don't know what your friend will tell them to remain out of trouble. If you could care less what anyone says until the handcuffs go on, then you have nothing to worry about right now, because you are not in handcuffs. 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.
