Criminal Defense & Personal Injury Legal Services

One firm for the two moments that change everything: a criminal charge, or a serious injury. Free consultation, six days a week.

Cobb Defense is a law firm with two focuses: defending people accused of crimes, and representing people injured by someone else’s negligence. Attorney Gregory Chancy handles both, which means whether you are facing a charge or recovering from an accident, one firm can take the case from the first call through resolution. Criminal consultations are free, injury cases are handled on contingency so you pay nothing unless the firm recovers for you, and the first call costs nothing either way. Call (770) 627-3221.

Two practices, one firm

Most people find Cobb Defense at one of two hard moments: the night of an arrest, or the day after an accident that was not their fault. Those are very different problems, but they share something, the need for a lawyer who handles the case personally and knows the local courts.

The firm is built around both, and that range is deliberate. A DUI arrest can involve an injury. A car accident can come with a traffic charge. Having one office that understands both sides of the courthouse is a practical advantage when a situation does not fit neatly into a single box, and it means one lawyer can see how the pieces of your case fit together.

It also means the firm has seen how the local system works from more than one angle. A lawyer who defends criminal cases in the Cobb County courts and also litigates injury claims against insurers in those same courts builds a fuller picture of how judges, prosecutors, adjusters, and opposing counsel actually operate here. That local knowledge carries over from one kind of case to the other, and it is hard to match with a firm that only ever sees one side.

Personal injury

Cobb Defense also represents people injured through someone else’s carelessness, pursuing full compensation for medical bills, lost income, and the lasting effects of an injury. These cases are handled on contingency, so you pay nothing unless the firm recovers for you. The injury practice covers:

Why one firm for both

There is a real benefit to a firm that works both sides of the courthouse. On the criminal side, the job is to protect your record and your freedom against the state. On the injury side, it is to recover what you are owed from an insurance company. Both come down to the same core skills: investigating what actually happened, knowing the local courts and how they operate, and preparing every case as though it will go to trial.

A firm that does both brings that same discipline to whichever kind of case walks in. It also means that if your situation involves both at once, you are not juggling two different lawyers who never speak to each other, because one office is handling all of it.

There is a human side to this as well. People who come to the firm are usually going through one of the worst weeks of their lives, and the last thing they need is to explain their story twice to two different offices. Working with one attorney who knows the whole situation, criminal and civil, keeps the process simpler at a time when simple matters. It also keeps the strategy consistent, so a decision made on one part of a case does not accidentally undercut another.

How to get started

Getting started is the same for either kind of case: a free, confidential conversation about what happened and where you stand. For a criminal charge, the sooner the firm is involved, the more it can do, because early decisions shape the whole case. For an injury, early action protects the evidence and keeps you from settling for less than your claim is worth. Either way, the first call is free, there is no obligation, and you speak with the firm directly about your options. Call (770) 627-3221 or use the form on this page.
