criminal defense

Click go the handcuffs and then a rush of thoughts inundate the brain when you realize you are officially under arrest for allegedly committing a crime. The thoughts are mostly questions, such as where am I going to jail and when I arrive, should I reveal any information to the detectives investigating the case. You also ponder what the arrest means for your job and more important, the relationships you have with friends and family members. After sifting through seemingly countless thoughts, one question suddenly takes over to become the most critical question of all.

​

Should you contest any of the charges filed against you?

​

After you are arrested for committing an alleged crime, it is imperative you call a licensed and experienced Georgia criminal defense attorney. Dane M. Garland will consult with you to determine the strength of the state or federal case, as well as educate you about the seriousness of the charges filed against you. You will learn about the number of possible defense strategies to fight back that include filing motions to suppress evidence and filing motions to dismiss every criminal charge because of a lack of evidence.

​

Dane Garland helps clients during every phase of the defense process, from the initial free consultation to the hearing that determines the criminal sentence.
