    Violent Crimes Defense

    Defending against serious charges that threaten your freedom and future

    Accused of a Violent Crime in Cobb County?

    Violent crime charges are among the most serious offenses you can face in the state of Georgia. A conviction can lead to years, or even decades, in prison, steep fines, loss of gun rights, and a permanent criminal record that follows you for life. If you've been arrested or are under investigation for assault, battery, aggravated assault, domestic violence, or other violent offenses, the time to act is now.

    With years of experience as a dedicated criminal defense attorney, I approach each violent crime case with urgency and strategy. I scrutinize every aspect of the case: witness credibility, police conduct, 911 calls, forensic evidence, surveillance footage, and potential self-defense claims. Whether you're facing a misdemeanor or a felony, I build a defense that protects not only your freedom, but your future.

    In violent crime cases, the smallest details can change everything. What began as an argument could be portrayed as an attack. A claim of self-defense can be overlooked if it's not forcefully argued. My job is to make sure your side of the story is heard, and believed. I work with investigators, forensic experts, and use courtroom-tested strategies to challenge the prosecution's narrative.

    If you're being charged in Cobb County or anywhere in the greater Atlanta area, don't face these charges alone. Prosecutors will be building their case aggressively. You need someone just as relentless in your corner. Call today for a free consultation and get the defense you deserve.
