Building a Strong Defense Against Criminal Charges

I am a member of the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the National College for DUI Defense and the Defense of Drinking Drivers network. As a trial attorney who has been handling criminal defense since 1991, I have the knowledge to confidently and effectively protect your rights. I have tried a significant number of cases and have obtained successes on behalf of numerous clients.

My law practice provides criminal defense in the following areas:

DUI / Drunk Driving: Whether this is your first DUI offense or you have been arrested multiple times for DUI and are facing felony charges, I will work hard to obtain the best possible result in your criminal case and to effectively deal with driver's license suspension issues.

Drug charges: I defend clients against a wide variety of drug crimes ranging from marijuana possession to possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute to drug trafficking and illegal sales of cocaine or dangerous controlled substances.

Domestic violence and battery: I understand the many circumstances which can lead to a charge of domestic violence or simple battery. I will use the knowledge and skills gained in my many years of experience as a defense attorney to help you fight domestic assault and battery charges.

Whether you are facing charges brought by the state or federal government, you have a fight on your hands. Together, we can devise the best path to get the best possible outcome. I focus on moving you forward with your life through reduced charges, dropped charges and treatment or classes rather than jail time.
