Georgia Search & Seizure Defense Attorney

Know Your Rights. Spot the Wrongs. Challenge the Evidence.™

Many criminal cases in Georgia are built on evidence discovered during the search of a person, vehicle, home, or digital device. Yet the Constitution places clear limits on when and how law enforcement may conduct those searches.

My criminal defense practice is centered on evaluating the legality of police searches and seizures and challenging evidence obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment. I represent individuals who value discretion, strategic guidance, and a tailored approach — including professionals, public figures, athletes, and creatives whose reputations and futures merit meticulous protection.

If you or a loved one is facing charges after evidence was obtained during a stop or search, you deserve an attorney who is fluent in search and seizure law — and skilled in challenging evidence in court.

​​

DUI Defense

I represent clients charged with DUI involving:

  • Unsupported or unlawful traffic stops

  • Unlawfully prolonged detentions

  • Invalid or coerced implied consent

  • Warrantless blood draws

  • Defective blood-draw warrants

  • Field-sobriety and body-camera irregularities

  • Post-accident investigations and hospital blood tests

DUI matters — especially accident-related or hospital-blood cases — often hinge on search and seizure analysis. When the stop or detention is unlawful, breath or blood evidence should not be used against you in court. I provide a discreet, strategic defense for clients whose reputations require protection and precision.

Traffic Stops & Vehicle Search Cases

I represent individuals detained or searched during:

  • Pretextual or unsupported traffic stops

  • Stops lacking probable cause or reasonable suspicion

  • Extended detentions beyond the lawful purpose of the stop

  • Coerced or invalid consent searches

  • Trunk, glovebox, luggage, or personal-item searches

  • K-9 deployments and alert disputes

Vehicle search litigation is a core component of Fourth Amendment defense. A successful suppression challenge can significantly influence how the State proceeds.

Constructive Possession Cases

Constructive possession matters arise when an item is found in a shared or multi-occupant environment — including vehicles, residences, backstage areas, venues, or professional travel settings.

I represent clients in cases involving:

  • Contraband discovered in shared or borrowed vehicles

  • Items found in gloveboxes, consoles, or cargo areas

  • Objects located in residences or professional spaces with multiple occupants

  • Situations involving entourages, production teams, or group travel

These matters demand discretion and nuanced strategy. Establishing legal and factual distance between you and the item is essential, combining constitutional analysis with sophisticated evidentiary evaluation.

Cellphone & Digital Device Searches

I handle cases involving:

  • Phone seizures incident to arrest

  • Searches of messages, photographs, GPS data, or cloud accounts

  • Access to digital backups or encrypted information

  • Overbroad or unsupported digital warrants

Digital privacy is a high-stakes issue for modern clients — from professionals and entrepreneurs to individuals in sports, entertainment, and other public-facing careers. Courts scrutinize these searches carefully, and unlawfully obtained digital evidence should not be used against you.

Home Searches & Warrant Challenges

Home Searches & Warrant Challenges

I represent clients charged after:

  • Warrantless home entry

  • Defective, stale, or overbroad warrants

  • Improper execution of warrants

  • Seizure of items beyond the warrant’s authorization

The home receives the highest level of constitutional protection. When law enforcement exceeds that authority, any resulting evidence should not be used against you in court.

6

Drug Offenses

I defend clients in high-stakes matters involving:

  • Alleged possession of controlled substances

  • Possession with intent to distribute

  • Trafficking

  • Marijuana-related offenses

  • Drug-related objects

These cases often stem from traffic stops, airports, private residences, or event settings. Many are resolved through carefully tailored motions challenging the legality of the search or seizure.

7

​Firearm & Weapons Offenses

I represent individuals charged with:

  • Possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony (§ 16-11-106)

  • Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon (§ 16-11-131)

  • Unlawful carrying or transport of weapons

Firearms are frequently located during pat-downs or searches of vehicles and residences. When a search is unlawful, the resulting weapon evidence should not be used against you in court.

My Approach to Search & Seizure Defense

 

1. Know Your Rights.

Clients receive clarity and guidance regarding the constitutional issues at play in their case.

2. Spot the Wrongs.

I analyze the stop, search, and resulting evidence — reviewing body-worn camera footage, reports, digital data, and warrant materials to identify constitutional violations.

3. Challenge the Evidence.

I file targeted suppression motions and present strategic, detail-driven arguments to exclude unlawfully obtained evidence.

Illegally obtained evidence should not be used against you in court.
