CRIMINAL DEFENSE

Criminal Defense

Criminal Defense Attorney in DeKalb County - Tucker, Georgia

Being charged with any criminal offense, whether it is an infraction, misdemeanor or felony, is a life-altering experience. The consequences of a conviction range from a fine up to spending years in prison. Just being charged damages your reputation and possibly puts your job in jeopardy. If you are a divorced or divorcing parent, child custody and visitation may become issues.


If convicted, you may be facing hefty fines as well as the loss of your freedom. A misdemeanor conviction can result in up to one year in county jail. A felony conviction can carry a sentence of years in prison, possibly for the rest of your life. With so much at stake, you need the assistance of an experienced and knowledgeable defense attorney.


At The Adams Firm LLC, we fight to protect all of your constitutional rights such as your right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, to remain silent and to confront witnesses against you. We thoroughly review the facts of your case, interview witnesses, hire experts when necessary and put the prosecution’s case through vigorous testing.


If negotiation for reduction in charges or mitigation of the penalties appears to be the best choice, we know how to do that. If going to trial is in your best interest, we will be thoroughly prepared and will vigorously defend you in court.
