A criminal charge in Georgia can affect your freedom, your employment, your permanent record, and if you are not a U.S. citizen, your immigration status. Do not face the criminal justice system alone. At J. Lee & Associates, our criminal defense attorneys know the courts of Gwinnett County and the greater Atlanta metro area.

Our team understands the critical intersection between criminal law and immigration law. A charge that seems minor, such as a DUI or shoplifting, can have devastating consequences for your immigration case under INA § 237(a)(2). We protect your rights on both fronts.

From DUI and drug charges to domestic violence and assault, we develop personalized defense strategies. We investigate each case thoroughly, challenge the prosecutor's evidence, and fight to reduce, dismiss, or win at trial every charge.

What You Should Do

Exercise Your Right to Remain Silent

Under the Fifth Amendment, you have the right not to incriminate yourself. Say 'I want to speak with my attorney' and do not answer any more questions until your attorney is present.

Don't Sign Anything Without an Attorney

Documents presented to you at the police station can be used against you. Do not sign confessions, waivers of rights, or agreements without consulting your attorney.

Document Everything

If possible, write down the names of officers, witnesses, and any details of what happened. This information will be valuable for building your defense.

Call Us Immediately

The sooner we have your case, the more evidence we can preserve and the more defense options we have. Call (770) 609-9396, available 24/7.

Frequently Asked Questions about Criminal Defense

What should I do if I get arrested in Georgia?▼

1) Stay calm. 2) Clearly say: 'I want to speak with my attorney.' 3) Do not answer questions without your attorney present. 4) Do not sign anything. 5) Call JLA immediately at (770) 609-9396. You have a constitutional right to an attorney (Fifth and Sixth Amendment).

Can a DUI affect my immigration case?▼

Yes. Although a simple DUI is generally not classified as a 'crime involving moral turpitude' under immigration law, it can affect citizenship applications and be a negative factor in deportation proceedings, especially if there are multiple DUIs or aggravating circumstances.

Can my criminal record be expunged in Georgia?▼

In Georgia, certain offenses may be eligible for record restriction (sealing) under O.C.G.A. § 35-3-37. Dismissed charges, not guilty verdicts, or cases completed under first offender status can generally be restricted. We evaluate your eligibility.

How much does a criminal defense attorney cost?▼

Fees vary depending on the complexity of the case, the charges, and whether the case goes to trial. We offer an initial evaluation and flexible payment plans. What is certain: a private attorney dedicated to your case generally produces better results than an overloaded public defender.
