When you are accused of a crime in Georgia, the aftermath of these accusations can shape your future.

What are Your Options for Responding to Criminal Charges in Georgia?
If you have been accused of a crime, there are primary options to consider when responding to criminal charges. In a best-case scenario, your attorney may be able to convince prosecutors to close a case without pursuing charges, or to dismiss charges already filed, citing evidence of your innocence, a lack of evidence of guilt, or conflicting evidence from witnesses. If your attorney can convince the court to prevent evidence from being heard by a jury because that evidence was obtained in violation of your Constitutional rights (such as the Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure), this could make it possible for the criminal proceedings to end before they really begin.
Every case should begin with a plea: Not Guilty, Guilty, or – in some circumstances – Nolo Contendere, or “No Contest.” Unless or until you have all the evidence the government holds, your plea should reflect the truth: Not Guilty. Any decision to enter a negotiated plea of Guilty, No Contest, or to continue to plead Not Guilty and request a trial should be based on the evidence, what the prosecutors can prove, and this is where Kilgo Law can help. Through investigation, negotiation, and trial preparation, Kilgo Law can provide you with the tools to make the best decision about your future.
