How is Criminal Law Unique in Atlanta – Wesley Kent Hill
Criminal defense in Atlanta take a particularly hard stance against crime. Because of the uniquely punitive and stringent nature of Georgia law, it is vital for one facing criminal charges to seek out experienced and aggressive legal representation. Atlanta, GA has a reputation for being tough on criminal activity, and in a recent study Georgia was ranked as the third worst state in the nation due to the number of legal barriers confronting individuals with a criminal record.
Criminal law in Atlanta covers the prosecution of those charged with a felony crime including but not limited to burglary, armed robbery, aggravated assault, sexual assault, rape, fraud, drug charges, murder, attempted murder, and more. First time offenders can face sentences from one year to life in prison â probation is not even available to first time convicts of a felony crime.
There are two major challenges facing any individual convicted of a crime in Atlanta: 1) sentencing guidelines are harsh and judges tend to be unsympathetic; 2) once you are released from prison becoming integrated back into society is difficult at best. Because of the tough nature of criminal law in Atlanta, those accused need equally tough legal representation that understands the unique laws in Atlanta.
