Are You Facing Drug Charges In Georgia?
Drug crimes are some of the most commonly prosecuted cases, and they come with significant consequences under the criminal justice system. The reality behind many drug crimes, however, is socioeconomic inequality and substance abuse issues — things that no amount of jail time will remedy.

Were Your Rights Violated?
Law enforcement must follow strict protocols when investigating and arresting individuals on suspicion of drug crimes. An investigation typically involves searching an individual’s property — something that can only be done lawfully with a search warrant or probable cause.
The evidence against you may be suppressed if it was unlawfully gained through illegal search and seizure, entrapment or some other means that violated your rights. Rest assured that our law firm will uncover every opportunity available to defend you, get charges dropped or reduced or otherwise mitigate the consequences of a criminal charge.
