The office is in nearby Marietta, and consultations are free, six days a week. Call (770) 627-3221.
Fulton County is the most populous county in Georgia, home to more than one million residents and to the city of Atlanta, the state capital and county seat. It stretches far beyond the city itself, running north through Sandy Springs, Roswell, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, and Milton, and south through East Point, College Park, Union City, Hapeville, Fairburn, and Palmetto. A single county this size means a court system that moves at a scale most others do not.
That scale changes what a defense has to account for. Fulton’s courts carry some of the heaviest caseloads in the state, and a case here can move differently than the same charge would in a smaller suburban county. Volume affects scheduling, plea negotiations, and how quickly a matter progresses. Understanding how a high-traffic urban court system actually operates, rather than assuming it works like a smaller county, is part of representing someone effectively in Fulton.
Greg Chancy and his legal team will be by your side no matter the charge, we have extensive experience litigating the toughest criminal cases.
Some examples of our most common cases:
No matter what city you are arrested in, if the charge is above a local ordinance violation, you will likely be moved to the Fulton County Jail where you will await your initial appearance before a magistrate judge. You want to have Gregory Chancy and his legal team by your side to protect your civil liberties and defend your future. Call us now for more information!
Fulton County anchors the Atlanta Judicial Circuit, and where a case is heard depends on the charge. The main courts sit in the downtown Atlanta judicial complex, and knowing which one applies is the first step in preparing for a case.
Fulton County Superior Court, in the Lewis R. Slaton Courthouse on Pryor Street in downtown Atlanta, handles felonies, divorce, and major civil matters, with prosecutions brought by the Fulton County District Attorney’s office. The most serious criminal charges are heard here.
State Court of Fulton County, also in the downtown complex, handles misdemeanors, DUI and traffic offenses, and many civil claims, including personal injury lawsuits. The Fulton County Solicitor-General prosecutes cases at this level.
Magistrate Court handles arrest warrants, first appearances, and preliminary matters that often come before a case moves to a higher court.
Juvenile Court hears cases involving people under 18.
Municipal Courts, including the busy Atlanta Municipal Court, handle city ordinance violations and many local traffic citations before any elevation to county court.
Because Fulton runs separate, high-volume courts for felonies and misdemeanors, the court a case falls into sets the entire timeline and approach. A DUI answered in State Court and a felony heard in Superior Court are two different processes, and a defense that accounts for the specific court, and the pace of that court, is far more useful than a generic one.
Cobb Defense represents people facing the full range of criminal charges in Fulton County, from a first misdemeanor in State Court to a serious felony in Superior Court. Attorney Gregory Chancy takes each case personally rather than routing it through staff. The firm defends charges including:
In a county as large as Fulton, the same charge can be handled very differently depending on the courtroom, the prosecutor, and the caseload. The firm builds each defense around the specific charge and the specific court, and each charge type links to its own page in the criminal defense services section for a fuller explanation of the approach.
Cobb Defense also represents people injured by another party’s negligence throughout Fulton County, pursuing compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and the long term effects of a serious injury. Injury claims in Fulton are generally filed in the State or Superior Court in Atlanta, and the firm handles them on a contingency basis, so a client pays nothing unless the case is won.
Fulton’s dense traffic and busy roadways, from the downtown connector to the northern arterial highways, make serious motor vehicle crashes a common source of injury claims. The firm’s injury practice covers car and truck accidents, motorcycle and rideshare crashes, slip and fall injuries, dog bites, nursing home abuse, defective products, and workers’ compensation. Every claim has its own evidence and its own filing deadlines, and moving early is what preserves the proof a strong claim depends on.
Fulton County is really several communities with different characters under one court system, and a case can come from very different places within it. A charge might arise from a night out in downtown or Midtown Atlanta, a traffic stop on GA 400 heading toward Alpharetta, or an incident in Sandy Springs or Roswell. All of them route through the same Fulton County courts, but the circumstances that bring a person there vary widely.
The firm represents clients from across that whole range, north Fulton and south Fulton, city and suburb. What stays constant is the destination: the Fulton County judicial system in Atlanta. Being based in nearby Marietta, minutes from the Fulton line and a short drive from the downtown courthouse complex, lets the firm serve clients throughout the county while staying close to the courts where their cases are actually decided.
Clients work directly with attorney Gregory Chancy from the first call through resolution, not a rotating cast of staff. Attorney Chancy is licensed by the State Bar of Georgia under Bar Number 853577, a credential anyone can verify through the State Bar’s public member directory. In a court system as large and fast moving as Fulton’s, that direct attention matters, because it keeps a case from becoming just another file in a very full docket.
The firm builds each defense around the specific facts and the specific Fulton County court hearing the case, and explains each step in plain language. Every case is prepared as though it will go to trial, which strengthens a client’s position whether the matter is negotiated or argued to a jury. For injury clients, the contingency model means the firm is only paid when the client recovers.
 It depends on the charge. Felonies and divorce are heard in Fulton County Superior Court at the Slaton Courthouse in downtown Atlanta. Misdemeanors, DUI, and traffic offenses, along with many injury lawsuits, are handled in the State Court of Fulton County. The firm confirms which court applies during your free consultation.

Exercise your right to remain silent, do not consent to any search, and do not sign anything without a lawyer. Contact a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible, and write down everything you remember about the arrest while it is fresh.
? As soon as possible. Early involvement gives an attorney the most room to act with prosecutors in a criminal case, and in an injury case it protects evidence and deadlines before they lapse.
