A criminal charge in Georgia has a way of making your whole life feel like it’s suddenly on the line — your job, your reputation, your family, your future. Take a breath. You don’t have to face this alone, and you don’t have to face it from a place of fear.
At MM Criminal Defense, we pair serious courtroom experience with something the billboard firms tend to forget: actual humanity. We’ll explain what’s happening in plain English, fight like it’s our own future on the line, and treat you like a person — not a case number.
What You’re Up Against in Georgia
Georgia criminal charges generally fall into two buckets: misdemeanors, punishable by up to 12 months under O.C.G.A. § 17-10-3, and felonies, which carry more than a year and far heavier, longer-lasting consequences. Whether it’s a first-time mistake or a serious felony, the stakes are real — but so are your rights and your options.
How We Defend You
We’re with you from the very first phone call through final resolution:
- Investigate everything. We comb through police reports, body-cam footage, witness statements, and the State’s evidence looking for the cracks — illegal stops, sloppy searches, and rights that got trampled.
- Build your strategy. Every case is different, so we don’t run a template. We build a defense around your facts and your goals.
- Negotiate hard. Many cases are won long before trial — through reduced charges, diversion, or outright dismissal.
- Stand with you in court. If trial is what it takes, we’re ready — and we don’t rattle easily.

Common Questions
Is a charge the same as a conviction?
Not even close. A charge is an accusation — and accusations can be challenged, reduced, and dismissed. That’s our job.
Should I just explain my side to the police?
Please don’t. Be polite, then politely stay quiet and call us. Anything you say to ‘clear it up’ tends to do the opposite.
