I served as a Felony Prosecutor, handling thousands of cases, including DUIs, Domestic violence, Drug offenses, Murder, and S*x crimes. My experience on the other side of the courtroom gives me invaluable insight into how prosecutors build cases—and how to dismantle them. In addition to general criminal defense and DUI, for the last 10 years, I have become dedicated and highly skilled in defending

individuals accused of s*x crimes, including internet sting operations, r**e, child molestation, and s*xual exploitation offenses. I have advanced expertise in cell phone forensics and digital evidence analysis, as well as using cell phone extraction applications, IP tracking, metadata analysis, and technical data. I also represent victims in personal injury cases, including car accidents, trucking collisions, and catastrophic injuries. My prosecutor and trial attorney background gives me a litigator’s edge in personal injury law—where insurance companies often try to minimize payouts, delay claims, or deny responsibility. Having spent years in the courtroom handling complex cases, I know how to build compelling arguments, cross-examine expert witnesses, and take cases to trial when necessary. Whether negotiating a settlement or fighting for maximum compensation in court, I bring the same level of tenacity, strategic thinking, investigation, and trial advocacy to personal injury cases as I do to criminal defense. I have recovered millions of dollars for my clients and am 100% referral-based. I earned my law degree, cm laude, with honors from Florida State University (Go Noles!), where I also received a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice and focused a minor on Math. I am licensed to practice in all Magistrate, Probate, Municipal, State, and Superior courts of Georgia. I have also been honored with the privilege to represent clients in the Supreme Court of Georgia, Georgia Court of Appeals, and Federal Court.

Where I practice, some county District Attorneys require my client to sign an "Appeal Waiver" if we accept the negotiated plea. I never liked this.

Well, on June 18, 2026, the United States Supreme Court, in Hunter v. US, finally took a stand against these waivers.

"Plea agreements between a criminal defendant and the Government often include an appeal waiver—a promise by the defendant not to appeal his conviction or eventual sentence. In this case, we address a dispute about when such a promise is unenforceable in the sentencing context. We principally hold that an agreement not to appeal a sentence is unenforceable when it would result in a miscarriage of justice—meaning, when it would leave in place the kind of egregious error that would bring the judicial system into disrepute."

Key Takeaway - Don't sign, and don't have your client sign, an appeal waiver.

A lot of people assume that if they didn’t commit a crime, the case will automatically be dropped.

But that’s not how the system usually works.

Even when someone is innocent, criminal charges often don’t get dismissed right away. Prosecutors typically move forward based on the evidence in the police report, and it often takes time—additional investigation, motions, or even trial preparation—before a weak case falls apart.

⚖️ The Monday Summation: May 25, 2026

While most were resting, the North Georgia legal system was moving. From the gold dome to the jailhouse, here is what’s happening in our backyard.

🚨YOUNG THUG JUDGE LOSES BID FOR RE-ELECTION
Judge Paige Reese Whitaker, who took over the internationally watched Young Thug RICO trial, has lost her seat on the Fulton County Superior Court. She lost by 3300 votes. She was a great judge. Her replacement is an Assistant District Attorney. Boo.

🏆 HO***RS & BANKRUPTCY
While I don’t practice Bankruptcy law, Ho***rs is trying to get out of it and rebrand. Into a family-friendly restaurant!

📜 IN THE LEGISLATURE
Georgia House Bill 1009 was signed by Governor Kemp. No more cell phones in school. HB 1009 establishes a strict "bell-to-bell" ban on the use of personal electronic devices (such as smartphones, smartwatches, tablets, e-readers, and headphones) for public school students during the school day. The law does not outline specific statutory fines or criminal penalties for students. Instead, it mandates that local school systems enforce compliance through their own student codes of conduct using progressive consequences (warnings, suspension, etc.)

14u game in Starkville. Both the umpire and the coach (a Lieutenant at the police department) were arrested. Eek! Are you a parent-yeller at a kids game?

Bad Troopers.  Fired Troopers.  They used a PIT maneuver, then sued to collect on their "injuries."

Good morning! It is Monday (again)! :)
Here is your "Monday Summation" of the legal news and court updates for the Forsyth County area and beyond.

🚨DEATH PENALTY
The Trump administration is adding firing squads, electrocution, and gas as federal ex*****on options. Apparently, the drug cocktail for lethal injection is too expensive and harder to find. The DOJ says these added ways to execute people will SPEED up the process.

🏆 PIT FOR PAY UPDATE - 4 TROOPERS FIRED - HEAR WHY!
This latest scandal at the Georgia State Patrol got even more interesting. The internal affairs department conducted its own investigation. My take on it is in the comments, and you can WATCH the interview!

📜 IN THE GORGIA SUPREME COURT
Voting for the next Georgia Supreme Court Justice is ongoing. Here are my picks! Charlie Bethel, Sarah Hawkins Warren.

Last week's legal news:

🚨 MACHINE GUNS
The federal ban on machine guns has been affirmed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit. The court's ruling states that the Second Amendment does not extend protection to the ownership of fully automatic weapons or conversion devices that enable semi-automatic fi****ms to function as machine guns. In English, this means machine guns are still illegal.

🏆 DEFENSE WINS
US Department of Justice (DOJ) dropped its criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell regarding cost overruns at the Fed's headquarters, finding no evidence of wrongdoing. US Attorney Jeanine Pirro closed the probe after months of scrutiny, though the case could be reopened if new evidence emerges.

📜 IN THE U.S. SUPREME COURT
The Supreme Court is set to hear Chatrie v. United States on Monday, April 27. This pivotal case concerns police access to geofence data, which records a person's digital location. The Court's decision could either fundamentally reshape Fourth Amendment law for the digital era or offer only a minor adjustment to current rules. Furthermore, the Court will either approve or restrict "reverse" searches, a crucial modern investigative technique. Regardless of the specific outcome, this is the most significant digital privacy case the Court has considered in years.
