Traffic Violations Attorney
If you or a loved one has been accused of a crime, you are probably scared and wondering what to do. I can help. I am Georgia criminal defense lawyer Josh W. Thacker. As a former prosecutor, I have handled virtually every type of criminal case from minor traffic offenses to major felonies. I know how the criminal case against you will be built. More important — I know how to fight it.
I Handle a Wide Variety of Georgia Criminal Cases
- DUI (drunk driving) — I have been successful in challenging the traffic stop and police procedure to prevent a conviction or help clients keep or regain their driving privileges.
- Speeding tickets — Speeding offenses can trigger a points suspension or higher insurance rates. I can often get tickets reduced to keep your license intact.
- Traffic offenses — I handle major traffic offenses and all moving violations, representing Georgia residents and out-of-state drivers.
- CDL defense — I understand that a DUI or traffic convictions can have serious sanctions for commercial drivers, even when they are ticketed off duty in their own cars.
- Drug charges — It is a mistake to plead guilty to drug possession when there are viable defenses and opportunities for alternatives to conviction.
- Assault and violent crimes — I present defenses and mitigating factors if you are accused of assault and battery, domestic violence or causing a death.
- Theft or burglary — I help clients limit the future ramifications of an arrest for stealing, burglary or criminal damage to property.
- Identity fraud — I represent those accused of forgery, credit card fraud and other financial crimes.
- Juvenile crimes — My job is to ensure that your son or daughter is treated fairly and that the juvenile court system stays focused on rehabilitation over punishment.
