Drug Possession Defense by a Former Prosecutor
A drug crime conviction can lead to a jail or prison sentence, plus the fallout of a felony conviction on your family, your employment and other facets of life. As your attorney, I will fight to exonerate you or prevent you from being severely punished.
My name is Josh W. Thacker, a criminal defense lawyer in Griffin, Georgia. I am a former Assistant District Attorney with substantial experience in drug possession and drug distribution cases. I will apply my skills and insights to aggressively challenge the case against you.

Griffin Drug Charges Attorney
With 10 years of experience on both sides of the law, I have handled all levels of drug crimes:
- Possession of marijuana
- Possession of cocaine, meth and other controlled substances
- Unlawful possession of prescription medications
- Distribution or intent to distribute
- Transportation of drugs
I practice in Spalding County, Henry County, Butts County and surrounding jurisdictions of the South Metro Atlanta area and Central Georgia. As a prosecutor for six years in the Griffin and Coweta circuits, I learned how to build a case for drug charges and get those cases cleared. So as a defense lawyer, I know how to pick apart the evidence or how to negotiate with the D.A.'s office to get the most favorable resolution for my client.
I am an experienced trial lawyer prepared to take your case to a jury, but my goal is to avoid a high-stakes trial if at all possible by getting drug possession charges dismissed or reduced. Drug cases are usually won or lost on motions to suppress evidence. I am skilled at demonstrating illegal search and seizure, lack of probable cause for traffic stops and other flaws in the investigation and arrest of my client.
