Georgia - Alpharetta Felonies Attorney

Georgia felonies, punishable by death, life in prison, more than a year in jail, and/or a fine of more than $1,000, are serious business and you should not attempt to represent yourself or answer questions without legal counsel. Before you discuss your case with anyone, contact a qualified criminal defense lawyer who understands every aspect of law pertaining to Georgia felonies: The Teiger Law Center, serving Atlanta and the surrounding area from Alpharetta and Canton to Cumming and Gainesville.

Felony charges carry harsher punishments than misdemeanors or petty offenses. Incarceration is longer and includes prison (rather than jail) time. Other possible punishments can include probation, fines, restitution, and community service. Additionally, convictions can affect your future. You might experience:

  • Loss of voting rights/jury duty (for length of imprisonment/sentence)
  • Loss of driving privileges
  • Prohibited from practicing law, teaching, military, and law enforcement
  • Prohibited from working as a pharmacist or a doctor
  • Prohibited from owning a gun (lifetime)
  • Register as a sex-offender
  • Loss of educational State and Federal financial aid
  • Expulsion/delay of admission/refused entry to state colleges and universities

Cumming, GA Felony Defense Lawyer

If you or someone you know has been charged with committing felonies in Georgia, the team at Teiger Law Center will protect your rights. In many cases, we are able to mitigate the punishment. The Georgia First Offenders Act allows for adjudication of criminal charges for most first time felons (sex offenders are excluded) who have successfully completed their sentence. There are downsides to this option: some jobs will still be off limits and if probation is violated, you may be re-sentenced to the maximum penalty allowed under the law.

Felony crimes include:

  • rape (including statutory rape)
  • child molestation
  • sexual battery on a minor
  • aggravated sexual battery
  • murder (as well as voluntary and involuntary manslaughter)
  • vehicular homicide or serious injury
  • DUI
  • Substances Act violations
  • robbery (including armed robbery)
  • grand theft
  • burglary
  • drug offenses
  • kidnapping
  • aggravated assault
  • battery
  • fraud
  • identity theft
  • habitual violator
  • possession of firearm by a convicted felon
  • possession of drugs with intent to distribute
  • drug trafficking
  • arson
  • false imprisonment
  • hijacking
  • violent crimes
