Criminal Defense Attorney in Lawrenceville
Question: I did a Pre-Trial Intervention Program in 2001 and then I had my record expunged in FL, which I have documentation of. I was informed by my lawyer in FL that basically means the state dropped the case after completion of the program, which I did. In GA which would be eqivalent to FL Pre-trial Intervention Program? The 1st Offender Treatment without Adjudication of guilt or the Pretrial Deversion? Would I have to answer yes to any of them because my record is expunged?
Answer: The GA equivalent is the pre-trial diversion (PTD) program, where your record is expunged. First offender, does not expunged your criminal record. If the questionis asked have you ever been arrested, you might want to say yes, especially if you have taken 1st offender, nolo or Alford plea.

Sex offense defense lawyer
People charged with sexual assault or child sex offenses face hostile prosecutors and harsh public opinion. Most people, even some criminal defense attorneys, are only too willing to believe the worst about those accused of sex offenses. Our firm knows that not all people accused of sex offenses are in fact guilty of the charges. We believe that those facing such grave charges deserve the best possible defense and representation.
At Lawrence Lewis, P.C. we recognize that a conviction for a sex crime will almost certainly result in prison time, lifetime registration as a sex offender, and a permanently destroyed reputation. In 2006, sex offender laws were overhauled in Georgia, and four (4) sexual offenses were modified to require a mandatory minimum life in prison, which means thirty years in prison before the convicted person is considered for parole. These include:

Felony Defense Attorney in Lilburn
Question: Found a $3000 canoe trapped in a low river while kayaking. Put an ad in lost and found on craigslist and on boater talk for 2 weeks. Tried to sell it and the parks and recreation department posed as buyers, wrote a ticket for misappropriation of property, confiscated the boat and said we would have to go to court. Do I have any recourse?
Answer: Sure you can fight the case. I suspect that you will need an attorney to fight the case. But it appears that your argument is that you tried to locate the owner? IF parks and recreation can establish that the canoe was taken from a secure area, you might have more of a problem.

Violent crimes attorney
A violent crime is a criminal offense that is committed with the use of violence, or with threats of violence. When a person commits a violent crime, the violence is usually just a means to an end. In recent years, violent crimes have escalated in the state of Georgia, especially amongst the adolescent, male demographic. In hopes of decreasing instances of violent crimes, law enforcement and legislation has become very strict when dealing with violent crime offenders. People who are convicted of committing a violent crime should expect to spend substantial time in prison, in addition to paying fines, paying restitution and performing community service. For these reasons, it is very important to consult a violent crimes lawyer when facing criminal charges involving violence.

Kidnapping Attorneys in Lawrenceville
Question: What if i refuse to testify or go to court against a false imprisonment, or kidnapping charge will the charges be dropped ?
Answer: I assume that you are a witness. If the prosecutor gets annoyed, the prosecutor can issue a material witness warrant, which means that you can be jailed until the case goes to trial. So, as an annoyed prosecutor, I would jail you, schedule the case for about 60 days out, and see what type of mood you were in after spending 60 days in jail. Once I called you to testify, I would use your prior statements against the accused, and charge you with obstruction, after I obtained a conviction against the accused. I would oppose your bond on the obstruction charge (or false report) and would teach you not to play with the government. But to answer your question, if you do nto show up the charges might be dropped.

Atlanta Traffic Ticket Attorney
O.C.G.A. § 40-5-20(a) states that no person shall drive any motor vehicle upon a highway in this state unless such person has a valid driver’s license. Any person who is a resident of Georgia for 30 days must obtain a Georgia’s driver’s license before operating a motor vehicle in this state. Every licensee shall have his license in his immediate possession at all times when operating a motor vehicle, and shall display the license upon the demand of an officer.
The driver with a valid driver’s license may be cited for a multitude of traffic offenses, ranging from speeding, and/or failure to maintain lane, to vehicular homicide. It is unrealistic to try and address all of the possible traffic offenses here. So, we will address the most frequent traffic offenses by age group.

About Me
- Gwinnett Country Criminal Defense Lawyers
- 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.
