    If your looking for a firm that cares about their client then look no further. I worked with Mr. Middleton and Mr.Gates. They both represented my son. Usually, one lawyer takes the case but not at this firm. They will tag team your case and It didn’t cost me extra money. They work together. I also like how your aware of the plans prior to court. We had a plan A, B and C. Needless to say we didn’t even need plan B or C. I’m so happy I choose this firm and you will be too.

    KUDOS ! to an experienced and professional group of attorneys. This firm is awesome. The attorneys are all grounded in a platform that models the Six Pillars of Character ( Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship) I WAS OVERWHELMED with uncertainty, fear, and hopelessness concerning my son. This firm made my struggle their struggle They accepted my son's federal case and give us realistic outcomes. They were straightforward with all questions and answers and gave effective guidance.. The office staff is professional and responded to all calls . I called whenever l had a concern and I was received with kindness regardless of the redundancy and or content.

    I had the honor of working with the team of Cox, Rodman & Middleton, LLC. Falen Cox was wonderful to work with. This was a first time experience for me and she provided the support, information, reassurance and guidance that I needed. I appreciated it more than I can express. I hope I won't need their services again, but if I do I know whom to call.

    First of all amazing Coustomer service , Mr Middleton went above and beyond for me. Very attentive, He does his due diligence. I went through 2 lawyers I paid in full in 2 and a half years before him on this same case they wanted me to plea out to something I didn’t do It’s been a battle. when I hired Mr Middleton he got right on it, his assistant Brianna is wonderful. I hired him in February it is now MAY 11th he was able to get a dismissal…. He made me feel comfortable, trial can be very nerve-racking, Mr. Middleton made me feel confident he actually showed compassion for my family and I. He literally did in 3 months what 2 previous attorneys couldn’t do and 2 1/2 years. Thank you very much , you are a blessing, you are very passionate about your work it shows you don’t play no games …

    FAQ

    Georgia Criminal Defense Law Experts | Cox, Rodman, & Middleton, LLC
    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.
