Athens, Georgia
Our law firm has been zealously representing clients in the Athens area for well over fifteen years. Our attorneys represent people who have been accused of serious crimes, negligently harmed by others, or deceived by unfair business practices. We have also had great success in representing crime victims in the Athens area and across Georgia.
In one of our Athens criminal cases, our lawyers were able to get murder charges dismissed against our client who had been held in jail for over a year. We convinced the prosecutor in that case that there was insufficient evidence to go to trial. In other cases, our lawyers have represented local professionals in Athens in a variety of civil and criminal matters, and have also helped many UGA students successfully resolve investigations and disciplinary actions at the school.
Athens, Georgia is the fifth most populous city in the state with a population that exceeds 100,000. The city is made up of an eclectic mixture of cultures which include thriving music, art and intellectual scenes. Most notably, Athens is home to the University of Georgia which was chartered in 1785, and is America's oldest state-supported college. The university consistently ranks as being one of the best public universities in the nation and is the alma mater to many of Georgia's most powerful and influential residents.
Athens is also home to the State and Superior Courts of Athens-Clarke County which are compromised of six judges. Felony crimes are prosecuted by the District Attorney's Office in superior court while misdemeanor crimes are handled by the Office of the Solicitor General in state court. Athens is also the site for one of the courthouses of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia, where federal criminal cases and civil disputes are tried.
Our lawyers know Athens. In fact, four of our firm's attorneys are graduates of the University of Georgia School of Law, and have kept close ties with prosecutors, judges and other attorneys in the region. We know the Athens area better than most Atlanta-based attorneys, but our firm is independent of any relationships or interests that would interfere with our ability to zealously represent our Athens area clients.
While our law practice is based in Atlanta, Georgia, our Madison office is conveniently located 30 minutes south of Athens. From our Madison office, our attorneys have the ability to represent clients in other Athens areas such as Winterville, Bogart, Watkinsville, Commerce, Monroe and Winder. We have successfully fought for clients in many of these cities and across Northeast Georgia for many years. Maintaining an office in Madison makes it more accessible for our Northeast Georgia clients to meet with us instead of having to drive into Atlanta.
