Pate & Brody is one of Atlanta's most experienced and accomplished federal criminal defense firms. Our criminal defense lawyers have successfully resolved federal criminal prosecutions and investigations in every federal district in Georgia. We have helped our clients win trials and avoid prosecutions in the Northern District (Atlanta, Gainesville, Rome and Newnan Divisions), the Middle District (Macon, Athens, Valdosta, Albany, and Columbus Divisions), and the Southern District (Savannah, Augusta, Dublin, Statesboro, Brunswick and Waycross Divisions).

Pate & Brody has also successfully represented people charged with serious federal crimes in other states, including Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, and Missouri. When we represent someone in a state outside Georgia, we are granted special permission to practice in that court. We also usually obtain a knowledgeable local attorney to assist us at our cost.

One of our firm's defense lawyers is a former United States Attorney,appointed by the President as the chief federal prosecutor in one of Georgia federal district courts.  His experience gives our firm intimate knowledge of how federal criminal investigations work from the other side.  With his help, we are often able to successfully resolve serious federal criminal cases before our clients are even arrested.

Although we have experience in virtually all types of federal criminal cases, our criminal lawyers have most recently helped defend people charged with the following federal offenses:

• Mail and Wire Fraud
• Mortgage Fraud
• Internet Pornography
• Drug Conspiracy
• Money Laundering
• Immigration Violations
• Tax Crimes
• Government Corruption
• Firearm Offenses
