Are there any lawyers in Cobb County that are pro bono or have low fees to help me with a Defense for a misdemeanor?

Marietta, GA Viewed 84 times. Posted 3 months ago in Criminal Defense

I have 2 counts of Contributing to the Deprivation of a Minor - simple silly mistake that I will never do again. I just gained employment and trying to get back on my feet, and I am not familiar with lawyers, fees, the court system PERIOD, as I have never been in legal trouble before. How do I go about getting an attorney? My court date is in October, I dont even know if I need a lawyer, but I've been told its best to get one. Bottom line is, I dont want to go to jail! Can anyone help? Are there lawyers who do payment plans or anything!??

Greetings,

It's good that you are being proactive about finding a lawyer, and it is also good that this is your first legal proceeding.

Give me a call or shoot me an e-mail. I may be able to help you, but in the unlikely event that I cannot, then I can certainly point you in the right direction.

DISCLAIMER: Although I am an attorney, absent a signed retention and engagement letter, I am not your attorney. There are no exceptions to this rule. Moreover, you shall not rely on the information I am providing you, as it is only for your general knowledge and educational purposes. Consider it a good first step in your knowledge acquisition, but not legal advice. Indeed, my analysis is based on the extremely limited facts you have given me, and new facts could substantially alter any answer I give.

Congratulations that you don't know much about attorneys. That means that you haven't had any need for them before. Good for you. However, now you need to know and although I don't practice in your state, here is my take on your question.

If you have two Misdemeanor counts, it would be best to have an attorney represent you. Yes, many attorneys will work out a payment plan for you as long as you come up with some money up front to show good faith. One way to find an attorney in that county is to look for one on this site and then also to seek one by going to the local Bar Association or you can also go down to the court in which the case is pending and watch for a morning to see which attorneys impress you with their style, knowledge and expertise. You may ask them for a card if you like their abilities and think there would be a good match between you.

Remember, most Misdemeanors carry up to one year in jail as a potential punishment, so its usually best to have an attorney represent you. Also, an experienced attorney may be familiar with various defences that others may not know about and this could help you as well.
Good luck.
