Enfrentar un cargo por posesión de arma de fuego puede parecer sencillo, pero los problemas legales relacionados con las armas de fuego no son nada sencillos. Desde registros e incautaciones ilegales hasta cuestiones sobre posesión, permisos y derechos constitucionales, las leyes de armas de fuego de Georgia requieren un profundo conocimiento tanto de los estatutos estatales como de sus derechos bajo la Constitución de los Estados Unidos.
Incluso un arresto aparentemente rutinario puede desmoronarse bajo el escrutinio legal. Un abogado defensor penal experto y con experiencia puede identificar errores procesales, impugnar pruebas ilegales y exponer fallas en el caso de la fiscalía, lo que facilita la reducción de los cargos, una declaración favorable o incluso la desestimación total.
Estos delitos se procesan con firmeza y pueden conllevar penas de prisión obligatorias, multas elevadas y antecedentes penales permanentes. Ya sea que se le acuse de posesión ilegal de un arma o de usar un arma de fuego durante la comisión de un delito, Morrison & Hughes está aquí para proteger sus derechos y luchar por su libertad.
Los cargos por armas pueden escalar rápidamente y conllevar graves consecuencias, pero una defensa legal sólida puede marcar toda la diferencia. Contáctanos en línea o llama al 404-LAW-TEAM ¡hoy mismo!

Our client faced serious felony charges carrying a possible sentence of 60 years in prison including Aggravated Battery, Aggravated Assault, and Cruelty to Children in the First Degree after being accused of intentionally burning a child with hot oil. Prosecutors alleged she intentionally poured boiling oil on her young cousin, a claim that was not supported by the evidence.
At trial, we demonstrated that the incident was a tragic accident, not a criminal act. After a hard-fought jury trial, the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty on all counts, clearing our client’s name and restoring her freedom.
Our client was falsely accused of a series of violent sexual offenses, including Rape, Aggravated Sodomy, Aggravated Sexual Battery, and false imprisonment. The accuser claimed she was drugged, restrained, and assaulted over multiple occasions. These allegations, if true, would have carried life-altering consequences, including the possibility of more than three life sentences in prison.
Over the course of two years, we conducted an exhaustive investigation, working closely with prosecutors and presenting evidence that contradicted her account. Ultimately, the State dismissed all charges, citing the issues we raised: conflicting dates, memory lapses, contradictory statements, and witness credibility concerns. They concluded they could not meet the burden of proof and dismissed all charges.
Our client was charged with Aggravated Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer, Felony Obstruction, and other offenses after officers claimed he resisted arrest and caused injury. In truth, he was walking through a neighborhood when officers approached him.
Body camera footage revealed our client remained calm and simply asked why he was being detained. After officers escalated the situation and caused a group fall that led to an officer’s injury, they wrongly blamed our client. We fought for justice through court hearings and direct negotiation, ultimately securing a complete dismissal of all charges.
Our client was arrested for Possession of a Schedule 1 Controlled Substance and Possession of a Firearm during a Felony, based on a bag allegedly found in the woods containing his ID, drugs, and a gun. Officers claimed the bag belonged to our client, but the facts told a different story.
After carefully reviewing and organizing fragmented bodycam footage, we proved that officers planted our client’s ID into the bag after it was found, directly contradicting their reports. This critical finding led the prosecution to dismiss all charges against our client.
Police arrested our client at a hotel after staff called authorities over a check-in misunderstanding. Officers detained him for “loitering,” despite the fact he had a valid reason to be there. A bag of methamphetamine found later in a separate area was wrongfully attributed to him.
Through investigation, we demonstrated that the drugs were discovered in a place our client had no access to and that he was lawfully present at the hotel. These facts, coupled with our legal advocacy, resulted in the complete dismissal of all charges.
Our client was stopped at a police roadblock and charged with drug possession and driving on a suspended license. Officers claimed they found Schedule 1 substances and marijuana in the car, and that his license was invalid.
We uncovered that the license suspension had not been properly executed, meaning it was never legally in effect. We also challenged the roadblock’s legality and the basis for the vehicle search. These efforts led prosecutors to dismiss the case entirely.
Our client was facing a violation of felony probation based on multiple technical violations, including nonpayment of fines and failure to report. Additionally, he had fled the state from probation for 7 years. These types of violations, especially after being missing for so long, often result in significant jail time, as well as an adjudication of guilt under the first-offender act, meaning our client would have become a convicted felon.
By carefully reviewing the dates and case disposition, presenting mitigating evidence, negotiating with prosecutors, and emphasizing our client’s personal progress, we successfully negotiated that the case be closed and preserved our client’s first-offender status, meaning there will be no adjudication of guilt entered, and he was freed from any further court supervision.
