What Should I Do if I Am Accused of a Crime?

If you are approached by a police officer or detective who would like to discuss the details of a crime they think you may have been involved in, you need to be prepared for how to respond. Put simply, you need to tell them that before you answer any of their questions, you would like to speak to your lawyer.

It is likely that the officer will try to convince you that it will go worse for you if you wait until an attorney is present. The truth of the matter is that if you undergo their interrogation without a lawyer, you have no guarantee that your rights will be protected. This could result in law enforcement misleading you and getting you to say something they can use against you to obtain a conviction. Do the safe thing and get in touch with our law firm prior to answering any of the questions the police have for you, even if you don’t feel you have anything to hide.

What Is the Difference Between Misdemeanors & Felonies?

In Georgia, crimes can be generally divided into two main categories: misdemeanors and felonies (although some offenses are charged as infractions). Misdemeanors are those crimes that are considered “less serious” in nature. As such, they are punished less harshly. The maximum punishment for this type of offense in Georgia is one-year imprisonment and a $1,000 fine.

More serious crimes, such as drug crimes and sex offenses, are considered felonies. The range of penalties for felonies in Georgia is extremely broad. For lower-level felonies, the punishment can be anywhere from one to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Higher-level offenses can result in much higher fines and even longer prison sentences, from 15 to 25 years and even life.

    “I was most satisfied with the way the team worked together”
    All of my information was processed and passed from person to person. I was hoping for my charges to be dropped from DUI to reckless, and my expectations were met. Carli is a pleasure to work with and does a great job talking to clients on the phone. She makes you feel comfortable and that everything is going to be 'OK.' They are a caring group of individuals who work together to get the best possible outcome for the client.
    Past Client
    “Absolutely Amazing”
    “Being out of state they always kept me informed on everything that was going on with my case and were very quick to respond back if I had any questions or concerns.”
    Kendall T.
    “Each person I spoke with was able to answer my questions.”
    I did not know what to anticipate, as I had never needed to use an attorney in the past; however, they did go above my expectations. I cannot praise Carli enough. She was patient, non-judgmental, efficient and able to answer any question I had. As I live out of town, and was very nervous and naive about all of this, I could not have received any better representation.
    Past Client
    “I anticipated my case to be almost impossible.”
    He definitely met my expectations, above and beyond. So thankful to have had your help!
    Past Client
    “If you need an attorney, Courtney is your girl! She’s great!”
    Courtney really helped me out with my speeding ticket! She’s amazing, if you need an attorney call her! I would give her 10 stars if I could.
    Lindsay
    “What wonderful service! A breath of fresh air”
    I contracted with this firm to take care of my case while I was out of state. Their quick and friendly response was amazing. They were able to take care of my case quickly and had it dismissed. They were constantly keeping me updated with their progress until the end of the case. I would HIGHLY recommend this firm. Forever grateful!
    Past Client
    “Amazing Representation.”
    I contacted Ms. Lerch along with several other firms and attorneys when my husband was wrongfully charged and denied bond. She was the only person to return my calls. She went right to work and had my husband home within a week. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of representation. We love Ms. Lerch. Fair pticing as well.
