In our country, all people are said to be protected by a "presumption of innocence." That is, an indictment, accusation or police arrest does not mean you are guilty. But this protection may seem pretty thin if you have been arrested and jailed, and the presumption of innocence may seem more like a legal theory than a practical reality.
If you are charged with a crime, important legal rights may be waived if you do not take steps to preserve them early in the process. We have handled misdemeanor and felony charges in and around the Northeast Georgia area for over 25 years. If you are charged with a crime, call us as soon as possible. Often decisions that are made early on in a criminal case shape the entire proceedings that follow. We can assist you with all facets of your case from getting a bond all the way through a jury trial. The sooner you retain an attorney the better.
