Taking care of you – and, at times, family members – through court processes and trial
The criminal justice system can be overwhelming and frightening with many rules and hearings that a person may not understand and without, when arrested, enough information to find out what happened and what to do next. Even more frightening, is the fact that sentences are getting increasingly longer and more punitive including more jail time, more probation requirements, and higher fines. A skilled and experienced attorney can help you navigate through the criminal justice system and help you keep and fight for your legal and constitutional rights. Remember to ask for an attorney even if you cannot afford one. The state may provide an attorney to you.
The firm of Wilson Legal is committed to representing each client vigorously. The firm’s founder, Michelle Wilson, began trying criminal cases prior to graduating from law school. She has tried cases in nine Atlanta area counties and represented clients in hundreds of hearings and other court appearances. Ms. Wilson has served as a public defender for Douglas County defending clients without the means to obtain their own representation beginning her service as public defender with over three hundred cases. Ms. Wilson knows the local judges and assistant district attorneys and solicitors both in Forsyth County and other surrounding counties. When the local personnel changes, Ms. Wilson can find out information on the new staff attorneys through her memberships in local bar associations and the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (GACDL).
Remember that an experienced attorney will also be thinking about your future – about future employment, the ability to drive, and your future success. If you want an attorney who cares about your future , who can tell your story, and who knows how to put the best parts of you and your case in front of a judge, call Michelle Wilson to represent you.
