Domestic Violence
When violence occurs between members
of the same household, it may be referred to as domestic violence. Cases
of this kind are taken very seriously by law enforcement in Atlanta,
and a defendant may be in danger of imprisonment, loss of child custody
and other harsh penalties if found guilty.
Drug Crimes
Charges may be filed against a person
for any of a number of allegations involving controlled substances,
whether illegal narcotics or prescription drugs. With extensive
experience in handling these particular cases, Atlanta attorney Miya Griggs helps individuals accused of drug possession, possession with intent, marijuana offenses and much more.
Federal Crimes
There are particular instances where a
defendant may face investigation by the FBI, ICE, DEA or other federal
agency and criminal charges in federal court. These cases must be
handled with the utmost care and tenacity to reach successful outcomes.
Felonies
Crimes are classified as misdemeanors
or felonies in accordance with the potential penalties that may be
imposed upon a conviction. Felonies are the more serious of the two and
may be punishable by imprisonment in state prison for at least one year
and a fine of at least $1,000. Certain felonies are punishable by life
imprisonment.
Forgery
Potentially a state or federal
offense, forgery involves altering, creating or using false documents.
Usually committed for financial gain, forgery may involve such documents
as ID cards, security clearance cards, credit cards, legal documents,
driver’s licenses, personal checks and more.
Fraud
Intentionally deceiving another person
or persons with the intent of unlawfully obtaining property, goods or
services may constitute the criminal offense of fraud. There are a
number of different types of fraud, and a defendant may face federal
charges in some cases.
Hit & Run
Attorney Miya Griggs:
By law, drivers who are involved in auto accidents – even ones they did
not personally cause – are required to remain at the scene to exchange
driver and insurance information with the other parties involved. They
should also render aid if possible. The failure to do so may result in
charges for hit and run or leaving the scene of an accident.
Internet Crimes
Countless financial and business
transactions occur over the internet every single day, and this has
increased the incidents of internet crimes and state and federal law
enforcement agencies’ efforts to put an end to these practices.
