Frequently Asked Questions.

  • I focus primarily on criminal defense—from misdemeanors to murder—and also handle business litigation and civil disputes. With over a decade serving Paulding County from every angle of the legal system (defender, prosecutor, and judge), I bring unique insights to every case. Whether you're facing DUI charges in Municipal Court, murder charges in Superior Court, or need post-conviction relief, you get the same dedicated defense. My practice covers the full spectrum: misdemeanors, felonies, DUI, drug crimes, violent crimes, sex offenses, probation violations, appeals, and more.

  • Over a decade defending clients throughout Dallas, Georgia and Paulding County. I've represented thousands of clients and won trials for charges ranging from speeding to murder. My experience is unique—I've served as a prosecutor, magistrate court judge, and now defense attorney. This complete perspective helps me see angles others miss. Beyond the courtroom victories, I'm the upcoming co-author of the Westlaw Treatise "Handbook on Georgia Practice with Forms," and I'm admitted to practice in all Georgia courts including the Court of Appeals.

  • ▼ What is your process like?

    Simple and transparent. We start with a thorough consultation and investigation, then obtain all evidence and file strategic motions to protect your rights. Through our secure client portal, you have 24/7 access to your case files and can message me directly with questions. No wondering what's happening—you stay informed and involved from arrest to resolution. Every case is prepared for trial, even if we expect to negotiate. The process: investigate and understand, challenge and protect, then resolve and defend.

  • Yes. During your free consultation, I'll provide a clear fee structure based on your specific charges and circumstances. Every case is different—a simple misdemeanor differs from a complex felony or post-conviction matter. I offer transparent pricing and flexible payment plans because your defense shouldn't depend on your bank account. No hidden fees, no surprise bills. You'll know exactly what to expect financially from day one. Quality defense costs less than the consequences of inadequate representation.

  • Because when you hire me, you get me—not an associate or paralegal. I've successfully defended thousands of clients with a track record that includes murder acquittals, a client on the National Exoneration Registry, and countless dismissals. My unique background as prosecutor and judge gives insights others simply don't have. Add in 24/7 technology that keeps you connected and informed, and you get defense that's both powerful and personal. Big firms can't match the individual attention and strategic advantage you receive here.

  • It depends on your charges and circumstances. Misdemeanors typically resolve in 30-90 days, while felonies can take 6-18 months. Post-conviction matters vary widely—some motions resolve quickly while appeals take longer. Factors include court schedules, evidence complexity, and prosecution's position. Through our client portal, you'll receive real-time updates on progress. I work efficiently while never rushing your defense—the goal is the best outcome, not the fastest. Time invested in proper defense saves years of consequences.

  • Most cases—about 90%—resolve without trial through dismissals, plea negotiations, or alternative programs. However, I prepare every case as if it's going to trial. This preparation often leads to better offers from prosecutors who know I'm ready and willing to fight. If trial serves your best interests, you'll have an attorney who genuinely thrives in the courtroom with proven success at trial. The decision is always yours, but you'll make it with complete information about risks and benefits.

  • Outcomes depend on your specific charges but range from complete dismissal to negotiated resolutions. Possibilities include: pretrial diversion programs, reduced charges (like DUI to reckless driving), dismissals through motion practice, alternative sentencing, probation instead of jail, acquittal at trial, or favorable plea agreements. For post-conviction cases: new trials, reversed convictions, reduced sentences, or cleared records. Having handled thousands of cases, I'll provide realistic assessment while fighting relentlessly for the best possible outcome.

  • Completely accessible. When you hire me, you work directly with me—not layers of staff. Through our secure technology platform, you can message me 24/7, review documents instantly, and schedule video consultations from anywhere. My cell phone number is provided for true emergencies. Same-day responses are standard, not exceptional. You'll never wonder about your case status because everything is available at your fingertips. This is how legal representation should work in the 21st century.

  • Absolutely. Our secure client portal gives you 24/7 access to everything: case documents, court dates, strategy notes, and direct messaging with me. You'll receive automatic updates when anything happens with your case. No more calling and leaving messages, no more wondering what's happening. You can even include family members (with your permission) so everyone stays informed. Transparency isn't just a promise—it's built into how we operate. Knowledge reduces anxiety, and you deserve both.
