Criminal Defense 70%

I have either successfully prosecuted or defended, and usually both, just about every kind of crime on the books in Georgia - from traffic offenses, public intox, and trespass through all 7 deadly sins authorizing life imprisonment.

Juvenile Law 20%

I represent children accused of acts which, had the child been older, would constitute crimes in the State of Georgia. Beware!: these cases move exceptionally fast.

Appeals 10%

I’ve written appeals addressing a wide variety of issues ranging from the mundane and inane through errors of constitutional magnitude

What a great attorney!

Mr. Mahoney represented my son in a criminal case in which an earlier hired lawyer had been unable to perform as he should. When Mike took up the case, the level of confidence he displayed from the beginning was very assuring to me. He came out with unbelievable results and I'm forever grateful.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
