Facing Weapons Charges in Cobb County?
A weapons charge can destroy everything you've worked for. In Georgia, even a single conviction can permanently strip away your right to own firearms, cost you your job, and send you to prison for years. Whether it's possession by a prohibited person, or weapons during the commission of a felony, prosecutors take these cases seriously, and the consequences are severe.
With years of criminal defense experience in Cobb County, I understand how to challenge illegal searches, question the evidence, and fight to protect your constitutional rights. Law enforcement makes mistakes, and prosecutors overcharge, but I know how to find the weaknesses in their case. Your Second Amendment rights are worth defending, and I'll fight to preserve them. Self-defense situations require especially careful handling to ensure your rights are protected.
Weapons Violations We Defend
Carrying Without a Permit
Even with Georgia's constitutional carry law, there are still restricted locations and prohibited persons who can face serious charges.
Felon in Possession
The most serious weapons charge, carrying 1-10 years in prison for a first offense and 5-10 years for repeat offenses.
Prohibited Places
School zones, government buildings, airports, and other restricted areas where even permitted carry is illegal.
Weapons During Commission of Felony
Enhanced penalties when weapons are involved in other alleged crimes, often leading to consecutive prison sentences.
Underage Possession
Handgun possession by minors, with exceptions for hunting, target practice, and parental supervision situations.

Think Weapons Charges Can't Be Beaten? Think Again.
Too many people think weapons charges are impossible to beat. That's exactly what prosecutors want you to believe. But the truth is, law enforcement makes mistakes, evidence gets mishandled, and constitutional violations happen more often than you'd expect. I've seen cases dismissed because officers conducted illegal searches, because the chain of custody was broken, or because prosecutors couldn't prove actual possession.
Your constitutional rights matter, and they're worth defending aggressively. A conviction doesn't just mean prison time, it means losing your right to own firearms forever, difficulty finding employment, and a permanent mark on your record that follows you everywhere. Don't let a weapons charge destroy your future. Call now for a free consultation and let me fight to protect your rights and your freedom.
