Drug Defense Attorney Lawrenceville

Question: The Confidential Informant stated that it observed several people inside and outside the residence and that there was marijuana throughout the residence in plain view. For these reasons an other persons provision is requested. NO Knock Provision

....Does the fact that there were people or drugs present in a controlled buy justify a No Knock Warrant issued by the magistrate in Georgia?

Answer: This is a fascinating question for this reason. Let us assume that I vehemently maintain that the judge overstepped his discretion in signing a "no knock" warrant. What can you do with that information? Absolutely nothing. First, either there is no attorney on the case, in which case the law will not be argued by lay folks (i.e. non-lawyers). Or second, there is an attorney on the case and he/she does NOT know the law, which means my telling him/her the law is meaningless because he/she must still cite case law in order to defend his/her position

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.
