Felony Lawyers Norcross

Question: I am charged with hindering/ giving false information in Fayette county GA. due to a phone call that was answered in the neighboring county. I have never been in trouble, and my public defender says he cant win the case and I should just sign off on this plea for 5 years felony probation. The officer who filed the charges, has since retired and moved to Florida. I don't know what to do and I have court in the morning.

Answer: You waited until the day before trial to seek help, when you were arrested more than 6 months ago. You have no discovery on line or anyone to review. I suspect that you do not have $5,000 for a retained attorney. So, you have listen to your public defender, or make him try the case. And then retain your attorney for the appeal. 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.
