Macon, Georgia
Our office in Macon, Georgia is located in downtown Macon, close to the federal and state courthouses and central business district.
We have been successfully defending people charged with serious crimes in the Macon area for over fifteen years. In fact, two of our firm's principal lawyers are originally from Middle Georgia and have maintained close ties to the prosecutors and judges in the area. We know the area better than most Atlanta-based lawyers, but we are still an independent firm. We do not have any relationships or interests in the Macon area that would interfere with our ability to represent our clients vigorously. While we strive to maintain a good reputation with Middle Georgia prosecutors and judges, we always put our clients' interests first.
In federal criminal cases, Macon, Georgia is home to the main office for the United States Attorney for the Middle District Court of Georgia, and several of the District's federal judges have their chambers in Macon's federal courthouse. State criminal cases in Macon are prosecuted in the State and Superior Courts of Bibb County. All of these courts are within walking distance from our office.
In Macon, we have won dismissals and obtained favorable outcomes in criminal cases involving drug charges, theft or fraud offenses and violent crimes. In one recent criminal case, we persuaded a federal judge in Macon to dismiss all charges against our client after the government presented its evidence at trial. In another Macon federal case, we convinced the prosecutor to dismiss charges against our client by arguing that the police had conducted an illegal search. Our client was facing up to thirty years in prison in that case. In another Middle Georgia case, we won an acquittal for our client in a state court trial after the client had been wrongfully arrested for shooting a man in self-defense. We have also won appeals in Macon area cases, including a habeas corpus action in federal court.
Our firm has experience defending virtually all types of criminal cases in the Macon area. Our criminal defense attorneys have an extraordinary record of successfully defending people charged with serious sex crimes such as child molestation, sexual exploitation of a child, possession of child pornography and sexual assault and battery in Macon area courts. We have successfully defended local police officers, prominent politicians in the area, and even a judge in one Middle Georgia county. We have won several fraud cases in Macon, including mail and wire fraud cases, mortgage fraud prosecutions and tax violations. Our criminal defense attorneys have also successfully resolved firearm violations, robbery charges, manslaughter and murder cases in several different Macon area courts.
If you decide to retain our firm for a case in or near Macon, Georgia, our criminal defense lawyers will work hard from day one to fully investigate the case and zealously defend you. In most cases, we will locate and interview witnesses, conduct investigations with our own and outside experts, attempt to preserve helpful evidence and negotiate with law enforcement officers and prosecutors to help ensure that no stone is left unturned. In many cases, our diligence will lead to a dismissal or significantly reduced charges.
From our Macon office, we also serve clients in Warner Robins, Forsyth, Perry, Milledgeville, Gray, Fort Valley, Dublin and many other communities in Central Georgia. Our criminal defense lawyers have successfully represented clients in serious criminal cases in each of these jurisdictions, and throughout Middle Georgia. Having an office in Macon also makes it easier to meet with our clients from Central and South Georgia who would prefer not to travel to downtown Atlanta.
