Crimes Against Persons in Georgia

A single criminal offense shouldn’t define you. We understand that tense situations can sometimes lead to physical altercation—a punch might be thrown at a sporting event or a road rage incident might turn into a brief bout of pushing and shoving. In a matter of seconds, these situations can spiral out of control and before you know it, you can find yourself under arrest for a misdemeanor criminal offense. The actual or threatened use of force against another can carry serious criminal penalties, including fines and up to one year of jail time. At Fennell, Briasco & Associates™, our job is to stand up for your side of the story. We look at all the mitigating factors, including whether you were provoked and whether you were acting in self-defense. Then, we assert all of your legal rights in seeking to reduce or dismiss your charges. Call us today to learn more about how we can represent you.
