Evans Criminal Defense Attorneys Protecting Your Rights

A criminal charge – whether it’s a misdemeanor or a felony – can turn anyone’s world upside down. It’s normal to be unsure of your rights and anxious about your future. However, know that you are not alone and that you have immediate options available.

Our Evans criminal defense attorneys bring invaluable experience as former prosecutors. This background gives us critical insight into how the opposition builds its case, allowing us to anticipate challenges and develop formidable defense strategies. More importantly, when we handle your case, you can rest assured knowing that you are working with people who genuinely care. Let us fight for the justice you deserve, The Durham Bray Way.

Defending Clients Against Various Criminal Charges

We understand that every case is unique and demands a tailored defense strategy. Our attorneys represent people facing a wide range of criminal charges in Evans and surrounding communities, including:

  • Drug charges: These encompass offenses related to the possession, distribution or manufacturing of illegal substances, including serious felony drug possession and trafficking charges
  • Theft: This involves the unlawful taking of another’s property, from shoplifting to more serious grand larceny
  • Traffic offenses: These cover violations of traffic laws, ranging from minor speeding tickets to serious charges like reckless driving and driving under the influence (DUI)
  • Violent Crimes: These include a broad spectrum of offenses such as aggravated assault, manslaughter and murder

Under Georgia law, crimes are categorized into felonies and misdemeanors. Felonies are the most serious crimes, carrying potential prison sentences of more than a year. Misdemeanors are less severe, resulting in fines and potential jail time of less than one year. 

The consequences of a conviction can change your life, impacting everything from your freedom to your reputation. For example, a DUI charge can lead to immediate license suspension, significant fines and mandatory alcohol education programs. It may even lead to jail time if you have prior offenses or if the circumstances of your case are severe.

Facing such charges without an experienced Evans criminal defense attorney can severely limit your options. We will thoroughly investigate your case and identify any weaknesses in the prosecution’s argument. While we always try to avoid court when possible, we are trial lawyers who are more than willing to fight tooth and nail for our clients if necessary.
