Probation Lawyers in Gwinnett County

Question:  What are the steps for early release from first time offender probation? I've served 6 plus yrs of a 10 yr sentence. I was reporting by phone since i live out of state and have been released from supervised probation. Would it be best to retain an attorney or can it be done without one?

Answer: You should retain an attorney, IF you are going to try and get a probation that you agreed to in a plea negotiations reduced. After all, you would not want the prosecutor to come back asking that you do an additional four years on probation if you did not agree to that when you entered a plea.

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.
