Criminal Defense
Pate & Brody is one of the most successful criminal defense firms in Georgia. Our lawyers have won trials, obtained dismissals and reversed wrongful convictions in federal and state courts in the metro areas of Atlanta, Macon, Savannah, Athens, Rome, Gainesville, Augusta, Columbus, Albany, and in smaller cities and towns across Georgia.
Our criminal defense attorneys have successfully represented doctors, lawyers, public officials, business executives, and even police officers and prosecutors in serious criminal investigations and trials.
Unlike some other law firms, our lawyers have been extraordinarily successful in obtaining dismissals and favorable resolutions even before a person is formally indicted or charged. Once you retain our firm, we immediately begin working on your case. We will interview witnesses, preserve evidence, and contact all appropriate law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies in an attempt to avoid an unjust prosecution. In many cases, that extra work pays off in a dismissal. In cases where we cannot obtain a complete dismissal, our early intervention puts us at a distinct advantage when it is time for the case to be tried or resolved by a negotiated plea.
