Northeast Georgia Criminal Defense Attorneys
The last thing anyone needs facing a criminal charge is more judgment, more lecturing and more recrimination. It’s hard to face a criminal charge of any severity, because the stakes and challenges you face are so intense and so high. But when you work with our firm, we will be with you.
With more than 50 years of combined experience, the attorneys of Hotard & Hise are the team that people in Clarkesville and throughout northeast Georgia turn to for legal problems of all sizes and complexities. For our criminal law clients, we provide the same level of dedication, compassion and advocacy. We’re here for you: we’ll listen and work as hard as we can to defend you.
Offering Legal Advice In Plain English
A lot of attorneys demonstrate they know the law by listing details of complicated statutes and burying you in legalese, but we have seen how stressful that is for people. In a criminal defense, you want to know what’s ahead. You want to know what your lawyer will do for you. We’ll speak with you plainly about your risks and what we will do in your defense.
We regularly defend clients in cases like:
- DUI/DWI
- Drug possession and distribution
- Assault
- Domestic disputes
- Criminal fraud
- Robbery/burglary
We develop our strategy to protect your freedom and rights with your involvement: providing realistic ideas of what is and is not possible based on the evidence.
Addressing Consequences Outside Of The Justice System
Criminal charge stakes can run far beyond the baseline of misdemeanor vs. felony charges or whether or not you should pursue a plea bargain. Your criminal case can impact your professional licensing, your job, and even custody and immigration legal matters. As a full service firm, we can aid you in building a plan to address each of these problems in turn.
