Drug Defense Attorney in Atlanta

Question: I got pulled over with marijuana in the car. the officer said he saw me leave the spot and knows I have it so if I give it to him i wont go to jail. so I gave it to him, he kept my license and told me to get in my car and follow him to the precinct. once there, he asked me all my personal information and had me sign the card he was writing all my info on. so then he proceeds to tell me that instead of going to jail, I'm gonna work it off with them. meaning they want me to set this guy up, that i need to call the next day at 2 pm and they will tell me what to do from there. since they let me go back home, if i decide to NOT cooperate with them, what actions can they legally take against me?

Answer: They can lock you up for marijuana possession. Then you make bond, retain an attorney and fight the case in court.

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.
