As a North Atlanta criminal lawyer, I have over 25 years of trial experience, as well as negotiating plea agreements. I understand the strengths and weaknesses of the prosecutions case, and use this leverage to give you the maximum bargaining strength possible, and, if need be, to provide you with the best possible criminal defense I can, using all my experience, knowledge, and skill, if your case goes to trial.

I also have taught criminal procedure, which, with my other experience, can give you the confidence that I understand the law. Being charged with a crime is serious. The prosecution and judges will take your charges seriously; therefore, you better take them seriously too, and retain the best possible criminal defense attorney available.

When criminal charges are levied against you, you want a criminal defense attorney who knows the system, knows the prosecutors, knows the police, and knows the judges, from the inside. You want a lawyer who can quickly analyze your case, and the people involved, and give you the complete picture. You want a lawyer who knows all the options, and knows how to get results.
