Criminal-defense representation

The firm’s criminal-defense practice represents clients facing serious felony charges in Georgia. Describe the charge or allegation as it appears on the papers you have and identify the questions that led you to seek representation.

The firm describes the first conversation as a way to understand the general nature of a matter and identify appropriate next steps. Organize what you know about the allegation, the events involved and the questions you want to raise during that discussion.

Official resources: Firm legal services

Organize the information you have

Keep relevant papers and notes together, including documents you received about the allegation. A dated sequence of events can help you explain what you understand and where you have questions; retain the issuing agency or court name with each document.

Separate confirmed information from what you have heard or are unsure about. That distinction can make it easier to describe the matter’s general nature during an initial conversation and identify what questions may need attention next.
