DUI Defense
If you have been arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and/or other substances, while you may be feeling like all hope is lost, contact The Lynch Law Group to find out how we may be able to get your charges dismissed and if not entirely, get them lowered to less severe charges than the ones that you are facing. On a regular basis, innocent people are subjected to being wrongly stopped, investigated, arrested and accused of a DUI (driving under the influence). To combat this, we work tirelessly while investigating your case to figure out the best possible defenses, as if we are going to trial. We do this to be able to present as much compelling evidence against the state as possible in order to limit your chances of going to trial and receiving a harsher punishment.
Misdemeanor Defense
If you have been accused of a misdemeanor crime or crimes, without a good defense attorney, you may face up to a year in jail and up to a $1,000 fine for each misdemeanor you are charged with. If you are convicted of a misdemeanor crime, it can negatively impact your life for years after your jail time and probation period are over. The Lynch Law Group takes every criminal charge and the person’s life who was charged with it very seriously and will fight to prevent you from facing its potentially, very serious repercussions.
Felony Defense
If you are convicted of a felony crime you face a minimum of a one-year prison sentence, all the way to life in prison, and even the death penalty. While every criminal charge is a very serious charge, felony charges are typically viewed as being more serious than a misdemeanor charge. If you are facing felony charges, contact the reliable team at The Lynch Law Group.
Drug Defense
There are many different kinds of criminal charges involving drugs and every one is serious and can result in jail time and fines. It does not matter whether you have been charged with being under the influence of an illegal substance, in possession of one, selling an illegal substance or caught with intent to sell, drug trafficking, misdemeanor drug defense, under the First Offender statute, or federal drug charges, if you are convicted of an¥ one of these- even after you do jail time, pay your fines and other requirements to keep your status legal, it can negatively impact the rest of your life. It does not matter whether your drug charges are related to ones that seem as benign as more social substances such as marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine, illegal possession of prescription painkillers, or ones that are less socially accepted, the penalties if you are convicted of them are harsh. A good drug defense attorney from Decataur, GA may be able to save you from this now and from a distant future of still having to deal with it.
Federal Criminal Defense
Federal and state courts often prosecute similar charges but where they differ is that when a state charges you with a crime, it typically results in an arrest right after you are caught doing something illegal, but federal prosecutors typically build a case against someone they suspect of committing crimes or is about to commit one, prior to their arrest and prosecution. Common criminal offenses that are tried by federal courts include but are not limited to drugs, weapons, money laundering, firearms, bank robberies, white collar crimes, and child pornography.
Sex Crimes
The Lynch Law Group aggressively defends people who have been accused of sex crimes because we know what a terrible impact it will make on their lives if they are convicted of one. Not only do most convictions come with jail time, they become a permanent part of who the person is, long after they have served and completed their punishment.
Sex Offender Registration
While being arrested and charged with a felony sex crime is likely the most terrifying nightmare you can imagine, being convicted of one can become a living nightmare because this often gives cause for you to be mandated to register as a sex ofender for the rest of your life. Preventing this is at the top of The Lynch Law Group’s list of things to protect their clients from.
Sex Offender Removal
Some people who have been charged with a sex crime and mandated to register as a sex offender for the rest of their life may be able to petition the Superior Court for relase from registration requirements and from any residency or employment restrictions.To find out the specifics of what it takes to qualify for this and if you are a candidate, contact The Lynch Law Group.
Murder, Assault, Battery
The Lynch Law Group aggressively defends those accused of violent crimes because we know the repercussions if our clients are convicted. While nothing is pleasant about being accused of a violent crime, to be prosecuted, the burden of proof is on the state and they need to prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. This can be to your advantage if you are accused of murder, assault, battery or another violent crime. Contact The Lynch Law Group today to find out how we can help.
Illegal Search & Seizure
The Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution protects citizens from unreasonable search and seizure but when these rights are violated, The Lynch Law Group fights fiercely to uphold these rights.
Probation & Parole
Probation is a court-imposed criminal sentence that, subject to stated conditions and restrictions, releases a person who has been convicted of a crime to live outside of the confines of a jail or prison. Parole is the release of a prisoner who promises good behavior, sometimes temporarily for a special purpose, or permanently, before the completion of a sentence. Unfortunately, there are many different ways that a probation or parole can be violated and when this happens, it can have serious repercussions, including a long jail or prison sentence. The Lynch Law Group has successfully helped hundreds of people in this difficult situation because we fight fiercely to keep our clients from being incarcerated. If you are in need, allow us to do this for you.
