Charged with taking something? It’s time to take your defense seriously.
If you’ve been arrested for theft, shoplifting, robbery, or armed robbery in Douglas or a nearby county, know this: Georgia doesn’t treat these charges lightly. And neither do I.
I’m not a jack-of-all-trades attorney—I only handle criminal defense, and I’ve successfully represented people just like you across Douglas, Carroll, Paulding, and Cobb Counties. I graduated from Emory Law School, one of the top 20 law schools in the country for over 100 years, and I’ve built a courtroom reputation for being direct, prepared, and fearless when your freedom is on the line.
Georgia law casts a wide net when it comes to theft-related charges:
Every theft and robbery case is different. Was there a misunderstanding? Mistaken identity? Weak evidence? Overcharged? We don’t just take the police report at face value—we dig. We challenge the search, question the witnesses, and expose every flaw in the prosecution’s case. And we do it with an eye on results: dismissals, reductions, and acquittals.
A conviction for theft or robbery doesn’t just mean time behind bars—it can mean job loss, background check nightmares, and a lifetime of explaining yourself. But it doesn’t have to go that way. Whether you’re dealing with your first shoplifting charge or a felony robbery accusation, we’re ready to fight for your future.

It can be. If the value of the items is under $500, it’s usually charged as a misdemeanor—unless you have prior shoplifting convictions or the case involves aggravating factors (like theft from multiple stores or working with someone else). Over $500? That’s a felony, and the court won’t treat it like a minor mistake.
Theft usually involves taking something when no one’s around—like shoplifting, burglary, or theft by taking. Robbery, on the other hand, means taking something directly from a person by force or threat. It’s more serious and always charged as a felony. Add a weapon? That’s armed robbery, and you’re looking at mandatory prison time.
Georgia law requires a minimum of 10 years in prison without parole for armed robbery—even on a first offense. That’s why these cases demand serious legal firepower. We aggressively fight illegal searches, mistaken identity, witness credibility, and any other cracks in the State’s case to keep you out of prison.
