I’m beyond grateful for this firm for all the help and guidance they gave me.

Can’t speak highly enough of Sterling Dixon and his team. He was able to get my fine lowered when I thought there was no way it was going to happen. A great law firm all around. His assistant MacLaine kept me up to date on all court dates and appointments. They are professional but with empathy. That is something you don’t see too much anymore. The outcome was well worth the investment. If you’re on the fence about hiring them, do it. You won’t be disappointed!

Criminal lawyers in newnan, GA

The Police want you to Talk.
The Prosecutor wants you to Fold.

Right now you’re feeling:
  • Terrified About Jail Or Prison
  • Worried about losing your job
  • Scared what family will think
  • Overwhelmed by the legal system

And maybe asking yourself:
  • Will I go to jail?
  • What will people think?
  • Should I talk to Police?

Those feelings? They become fuel. That fear? It becomes fight. Those questions? They get real answers.

FAQs about Georgia criminal law

Because “Will I go to jail?” deserves a real answer. Not legal jargon. Not maybes. Just straight answers from real criminal defense lawyers who’ve been there.

How can I get a bench warrant lifted or cleared in Georgia?

If you have a bench warrant, you can be arrested at any time. The fastest way to deal with it is to have your lawyer set a court date and address the reason it was issued — usually a missed appearance or unpaid obligation. We can often work with the court to recall the warrant so you’re not picked up unexpectedly.

Can hiring a lawyer stop charges from being filed in GA?

Sometimes. If you get us involved early, we may be able to talk to investigators or the prosecutor before charges are filed. That could mean clearing things up, getting charges reduced, or keeping them from being filed at all. The sooner you call, the better your chances.

Can I be investigated based in someone’s accusation in Newnan?

Yes. Police can open an investigation just because someone says you did something. They don’t need solid proof to start looking into it. If you find out you’re under investigation — even if the accusation is false — call us before you say a word to law enforcement.

Can the police search my home or phone without a warrant in GA?

Usually, they need a warrant. But there are exceptions, like if you give them permission, something is in plain view, or there’s an emergency. If police searched without a warrant, we can look at whether they crossed the line and fight to have that evidence thrown out.

Do I have to go to the station if the police ask me to come in?

No. If you’re not under arrest, you don’t have to go. And you definitely shouldn’t go without talking to a lawyer first. Police interviews are designed to help them build a case — not to help you.
