Frequently Asked Questions

What is a misdemeanor in Georgia?

A misdemeanor in Georgia is a crime punishable by a fine of up to $1,000, up to one year of imprisonment, or both. A misdemeanor still creates a criminal record, so it is worth speaking with a criminal defense attorney in Marietta, GA before deciding how to handle the charge.

What should I do immediately after being arrested or charged?

Stay calm and exercise your right to remain silent. Do not answer questions without an attorney present, and do not consent to searches or sign anything that could be used against you. Contact a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible, and write down what you remember about the arrest while it is fresh.

Do I need a criminal defense attorney if the charges seem minor?

Yes. Even misdemeanor charges can bring jail time, fines, probation, and a permanent record that affects employment, housing, and driving. A defense attorney gives you the best chance to reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives, or get charges dismissed.

How long will my criminal case take from arrest to resolution?

Timelines vary widely, from a few months to a year or more for cases involving complex charges, extensive evidence, or a jury trial. The court’s schedule, witness availability, and whether a plea is offered all affect the pace. We keep clients updated throughout.

How do I choose the best criminal lawyer in Marietta?

Look for an attorney who regularly handles your type of charge in the local Cobb County courts, communicates clearly, and is candid about likely outcomes. A free consultation is the best way to judge fit before you commit. Call (770) 627-3221 to speak with attorney Gregory Chancy.

Is marijuana legal in Georgia?

In Georgia, low-THC marijuana oil is legal only for registered medical patients and must be prescribed by a licensed physician, with possession limited to 20 fluid ounces. Possessing marijuana in other forms remains illegal and can lead to criminal charges.

Does Cobb Defense handle both criminal and personal injury cases?

Yes. Attorney Gregory Chancy represents clients in criminal defense matters and in personal injury claims across Cobb County, GA. You can reach us at (770) 627-3221 for either type of case.
