Forsyth County & North Metro Atlanta Criminal Defense

If you are arrested in Forsyth County, the City of Cumming, Alpharetta, Milton, Johns Creek, Sandy Springs, Dunwoody or the surrounding North-Georgia communities, experience matters. You need more than representation — you need a trial lawyer who knows these courts. I have defended thousands of individuals across these jurisdictions and maintain a daily presence in Forsyth, Fulton, Hall, Gwinnett, Cherokee, Dawson and Lumpkin counties. Since 2008, my practice has been devoted almost exclusively to criminal defense trial work.

Why Local Experience Matters

• Knowledge of the judges, prosecutors, court staff and local procedures
• Deep, long-standing courtroom relationships that directly benefit clients
• A practice focused solely on defending individuals — not a generalist approach

Specialized Focus

I concentrate on DUI and serious-crime defense, supported by intensive annual training and continuous courtroom work. This ensures that my strategies, forensic understanding and trial techniques remain current with evolving law and prosecutorial tactics.

Direct Access & Responsiveness

Every case deserves individualized attention. When you contact me, you work directly with me — not a junior associate or someone unfamiliar with the case. Your freedom, record and future demand nothing less.

• A lawyer who practices criminal defense every day
• Local experience rooted in the courts where your case will be heard
