Crimes Arising Out of the Workplace

We handle criminal cases arising out of the workplace. Employment related problems may embrace criminal charges brought against an employee, a co-employee or a supervisor. In some instances, the handling and results in the criminal proceeding may have some impact upon any civil claims associated with the case. Please go to our Education page for more information

Crimes Arising Out of Education

We have found that teachers, coaches and other school personnel sometimes face criminal charges arising out of reprimands, suspensions or involuntary terminations. Likewise, students sometimes are subjected to criminal charges, or have criminal implications from situations which occur at school, or in conjunction with athletics or after school activities.

Juvenile Delinquency

Often students who are expelled or suspended may also face juvenile court proceedings. We assist children and their parents with the resolution of these types of charges.

DUI’s, other Driving Charges, and Criminal Misdemeanors

DUI Cases

Being charged with DUI can be a difficult and painful experience, one key making the process easier is representation. Many laws are in place protecting people charged with DUI and their rights. You must be aware of these laws and how they can work for you. Call or email us to set up an appointment so we can discuss your case and your options.

The following is a brief outline of the immediate steps to take to protect your rights. This outline is not comprehensive, but describes many of the options which we will pursue to exhaust all possible remedies to protect your rights through all phases of your case.

• Act quickly.
• If you received a citation for Driving Under the Influence, your Driver’s License was probably taken by the arresting officer.
• The officer should have given you a yellow document (DPS Form 1205) notifying you of your license suspension.
• This generally gives you the right to drive for 30 days following the date you received your citation.
• The yellow paper also informs you of your right to appeal your license suspension.
• The appeal must generally be filed no later than 10 days after you received your citation.


• Write an appeal letter to the Georgia Department of Motor Vehicle Safety of the determination to suspend your driver’s license.
• Once the letter is filed the DMVS usually schedules a hearing in the next 30 days to schedule a hearing on your license suspension.
• Your temporary driving permit is usually good until an Administrative Law Judge hears your case.


• The DMVS hearing provides an opportunity to get your driver’s license back.
• Police officers may be willing to let people get their licenses back at the hearing. If they do there is no need to go before an Administrative Law Judge.
• If the officer appears at the hearing and is unwilling to agree to return your driver’s license, then an impartial Administrative Law Judge will make a determination as to whether your license should be suspended.


• Preparation for your Criminal trial on your DUI charge includes the following:
• Getting a Police Report of your arrest.
• Getting a copy of your driving history.
• Filing a Motion for Discovery, Motion to Suppress Evidence Obtained at Arrest, and any other motions necessary to protect your Federal and Georgia Constitutional Rights.
• Talking to the Prosecuting Attorney.


• Pre-Trial Motions
• Before your case goes to trial, the judge will hear arguments as to whether the police and prosecutors acted appropriately in bringing charges against you.
• We may need to file certain motions to protect your rights at trial.


• Trial and Appeal
• These are best discussed in person with your lawyer.
