Family Law

• Child Custody and Visitation
  When facing a family violence allegation, retaining a lawyer as soon as possible is your best course of action. Penalties for conviction may include loss or restriction of visitation rights, if you are divorced and do not have custody of your children; your right to vote or possess firearms, or possibly even jail time. If kidnapping or assault with a weapon are an aspect of the domestic violence accusation, you may even face felony charges.

• DUI/DWI
  In Georgia, teens and 20-year-olds driving under the influence of alcohol face particularly steep consequences—even when they’re not impaired. That’s because an under-21 driver can be arrested for DUI with only a small amount of alcohol in his or her system: a blood alcohol concentration of.02 grams or higher. If convicted, the driver may receive jail time, probation and community service, as well as a suspended license and a potentially long-lasting criminal record.
• Traffic Violations
  According to the Encyclopedia of Everyday Law, “the first traffic ticket in the United States was allegedly given to a New York City cab driver on May 20, 1899, for going at the breakneck speed of 12 miles per hour.”
• Sex Crimes
  As a general rule of thumb, most crimes against a person are felonies, though some assault and battery crimes may be misdemeanors. Sex crimes are also usually felonies, with some exceptions. Property crimes and theft may be felonies or misdemeanors depending on the value of what was stolen, whether there was force involved and whether the individual had prior convictions. DUIs depend on age and prior history.
• Fraud
• Robbery
• White Collar Crimes
  The cases our firm handles range from juvenile delinquency, municipal offenses and traffic violations to misdemeanors and felonies, from driving under the influence (DUI), assault, battery, probation and parole violations to drug crimes, weapons charges and white-collar crimes.
• Theft
• Misdemeanors
  Criminal charges brought by the police, local authorities and state or federal governments encompass a broad scope of activities. Some of these crimes get classified as either a misdemeanor or felony. Offenses are also categorized into state or federal offenses.
• Embezzlement
• Drug Crimes
  Drug crimes and punishments vary tremendously based on factors teens and young adults may not always understand. The drug type is important, but the amount in possession also plays a large part in sentencing and possible punishments. In serious cases, young people can face years of prison time, restrictive probation and overwhelming fines. A criminal record including drug charges may create problems with employers for years to come.
• Assault
  Delinquency offenses are more serious: actions like theft, simple assault or disorderly conduct. When a young person is found to be delinquent, it’s akin to a guilty verdict in an adult case.
• Murder
  In Georgia, a felony is a crime with a sentence of more than 12 months. This could be something as serious as a murder charge, or something like marijuana possession of more than 1 ounce.
• Juvenile Crimes
  Some juvenile crimes are considered status offenses. These are issues that are only considered illegal when they’re committed by minors, like truancy, running away, or drinking alcohol.

• Identity Theft
• Homicide
• Shoplifting
  For many young people, peer pressure, an attraction to risk, and poor decision-making will lead to a mistake or two. Maybe it’s shoplifting a low-cost item on the spur of the moment. Perhaps it’s having some drinks at a college bar and walking home too rowdily. Maybe it’s trespassing with friends or possessing a small amount of marijuana for personal use.

Property Law

• Real Estate Litigation
  Unlike a civil suit, which involves cases arising from breach of contract, car accidents, debt collection or boundary disputes, for example, where parties argue about money, services or the right of one party to do something to which the other party objects, in a criminal case, either the State or Federal government brings criminal charges, accusing an individual of a crime. Conviction of a criminal act results in punishment as prescribed by law. Punishment reflects the severity of the crime and maybe a jail sentence or a combination of both fines and imprisonment.
• Property Damage
  Some alleged criminal acts are more common among young adults or teens, such as underage drinking, traffic violations, DUI, illegal drug possession, shoplifting, theft, property damage, or fighting related offenses, such as assault or battery. Depending on the nature of the charges and the court the case is heard, the accused might face an impacted criminal record or need to spend time in an adult or juvenile detention facility. This could be emotionally damaging and stressful for an entire family.
