    I would totally advise against doing anything illegal... But if you find yourself in need of a lawyer I'd call them first, second and third. If the line is busy call back. Mr. Rodman totally helped get me out of a self inflicted wound when no other lawyer would answer the phone for me. If you go in their office you will see the awards... Those awards are real from beginning to end.

    I would highly recommend Cox, Rodman, & Middleton, LLC to anyone dealing with a legal matter. Attorney Christopher Gates, helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life. He did everything he promised to do for me, and communicated effectively, I truly felt like family. Breanna is amazing as well! Thank you Cox, Rodman, and Middleton, LLC, for all that you have done for me. I can’t express my gratitude enough! They are worth every penny. My initial phone call, helped relieved the stress I was under. I had a great feeling this firm would take care of me, they did just that!

    I sought a defense attorney for my case back in November 2022. I called Cox, Rodman, and Middleton immediately. I explained to them my situation and my expected outcome. They put me in touch with the lawyer they felt would best fit my needs and situation given the location of my case. I scheduled a a consultation and I met Mr. Rodman. He was professional, helpful and understanding. He agreed to take my case and we hit the ground running. He kept me informed and made sure I understood every part of what was going on and what wa sto be expected. I could tell he had my best interest at heart. My case lasted until June 2023. Mr. Rodman could sense my concern for the case because my dates continued to get pushed. There was a moment where Mr. Rodman confronted the judge and firmly encouraged the judge that were wasting precious time and that he needed to dismiss my case. Another lawyer inside the courtroom actually came up to me and expressed how much he envied Mr. Rodman's approach and strength in the courtroom. My case was eventually dismissed and I owe it to God and Mr. Rodman for having my best interest and back in the courtroom. I strongly recommend him for anyone looking to have the best outcome when faced with a situation they need help with in the courtroom. The entire office was professional, to include the receptionist Miss Breana. Thanks again guys. I have a fresh and new start.

    Falen Cox represented me after a car accident. She was very communicative, detailed oriented, and aggressive at getting to the facts of my case. Which at the end left me pleased with the results. I would choose her again if anything were to happen to me. I highly recommend that choose her if you have a viable case. She will work to the ends of the Earth to get the job done for you.

    Mr Middleton represented my mother in a case where she was subpoenaed to show up. Before the court date Mr. Middleton asked direct questions to allow him to become familiar with the case. He provided us with a clear expectation of what would happen in court. On the day of the case, Mr. Middleton arrived completely prepared and professional. Mr. Middleton represented my mother extremely well and was able to come out with an outcome that my mother was satisfied with. Overall Mr Middleton's representation of us was exceptional and we will use his services in the future.

    FAQ

    Georgia Criminal Defense Law Experts | CRM Law Firm
    Why Hire a Local Georgia Criminal Defense Attorney?

    When you select an attorney to handle your legal matter, location is about more than convenience or the ease of a shorter driving time to an office location. A lawyer who is located near you and handles cases involving criminal law in Georgia will also be able to provide information that you can trust is correct because it comes from someone who has dealt with these types of issues in your location before.

    Which Court Will My Case Be Seen?

    The superior court exercises broad civil and criminal jurisdiction. Superior court judges preside over all felony trials, have exclusive jurisdiction over divorces, and may correct errors made by limited jurisdiction courts.

    How Much Time Can I Get?

    Most misdemeanors are punishable by a prison term of 1 to 12 months. However, felonies are generally punishable by a minimum of one year in prison. For the “Seven Deadlies” of major crimes in Georgia, including murder, rape, armed robbery, kidnapping, aggravated sodomy, aggravated sexual battery, and aggravated child molestation, you could face life in prison or even the death penalty.

    Can I Afford a Criminal Defense Lawyer?

    How much you pay can vary according to the court case, and the attorney’s fee structure including a retainer, if they charge a flat rate, hourly fees, court fees, and filing costs.

    When Should I Contact A Criminal Defense Attorney?

    You should demand to contact a lawyer early and often if you are being questioned by police. You must make this demand clear and firm. Even if you want to speak with the police, demand a lawyer first. Having a lawyer present can help you make sure that your story does not get misinterpreted and that you don’t get tied up by confusing or misleading questions.

    Above all, remember that the goal is not to avoid arrest because that is up to law enforcement to decide and that is not something you can not control. The goal is to prevent causing harm to your side of the case so that your attorney can give you your best fighting chance in court.
