Drug-Related Crimes Defense in Douglasville, GA


Caught with it? Let’s talk before you talk.

Whether you were stopped with a dime bag in Hiram or hit with a trafficking charge on I-20, Georgia doesn’t mess around when it comes to drug-related crimes. Neither do we. From misdemeanor marijuana possession to felony distribution of controlled substances, our firm knows how to fight these cases—and win.

We represent people charged with:


  • Marijuana possession (under or over an ounce)
  • Cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, or fentanyl possession
  • Prescription drug crimes (Xanax, Oxycodone, Adderall without a script)
  • Possession with intent to distribute
  • Drug trafficking
  • Possession of drug-related objects (paraphernalia)


We Don’t Judge. We Defend.

Just because you were charged doesn’t mean you’re guilty—and just because the police found something doesn’t mean it was legal for them to do so. We challenge illegal traffic stops, bad searches, and sloppy lab work. We’ve gotten charges dismissed, reduced, and diverted for clients in Douglas County, Carrollton, Marietta, and beyond.


First-Time Offender? We’ve Got Options.

If this is your first arrest, you may be eligible for pretrial diversion, conditional discharge, or even record restriction(Georgia’s version of expungement). But none of those things happen automatically—you need a skilled advocate who knows the system and how to work it.


Don’t Let One Mistake Ruin Your Life.

Prosecutors want you to think your only option is to plead guilty. That’s not true. Call us before you make any decisions. We’ll walk you through the charges, your options, and how we can help you protect your future.

Frequently Asked Questions

Short answer: Sometimes. Georgia law allows searches in certain circumstances—like if they claim probable cause or get your consent. But officers get it wrong all the time. If the search was illegal, we’ll fight to suppress the evidence and get your case thrown out. Yes, tossed. Like bad evidence should be.


Not necessarily. If this is your first offense, you might qualify for pretrial diversion, conditional discharge, or other alternatives that can help you avoid jail—and even keep your record clean. But don’t count on mercy from the court without a good lawyer. Judges won’t offer you a lifeline unless you ask for one. We ask—and we get results.


Ah, the classic: “These aren’t my pants.” It’s actually more common than you’d think. If you were in a car, house, or apartment with other people, prosecutors still have to prove you had actual or constructive possession of the drugs. That’s where we come in—to challenge assumptions, raise doubt, and protect your rights.


Possession means you had it. Intent to distribute means they think you were planning to share—which prosecutors love to allege if you had “too much,” scales, baggies, or even just a bad attitude. Intent charges carry heavier penalties, but they’re often based on speculation. We challenge those assumptions—and we win.


Bad news: Even if it’s your cousin’s Adderall, you can still be charged with possession of a controlled substance—which is a felony. Georgia doesn’t care if you weren’t selling it. No prescription = illegal possession. But don’t panic—there are defenses, and we’ve used them successfully in cases just like yours.
