What to Expect From Your Misdemeanor Case in Alpharetta

If you’ve been accused of breaking the law but you haven’t been charged with a violent crime or felony, it’s considered a minor infraction or misdemeanor. Many people downplay the seriousness of a misdemeanor charge to make themselves feel better but this is a big mistake. Georgia law is strict and can be difficult to deal with on your own.

If you’ve been arrested on a misdemeanor charge, you should seek legal counsel immediately. Our experienced criminal defense attorney, Brian Hansford, at the Alpharetta firm of Miles Hansford Law Firm, knows the finer details of the Georgia criminal law system. He will help you make a strong argument in your defense to get the charges dropped or reduced.
