Know Your Rights — Request a Lawyer
When you have been accused of a drug crime in Georgia, it is critical that you know your rights. Many drug charges originate with a traffic stop. Illegal drugs are sometimes found because the driver hastily answers an officer's questions or gives officers permission to search the vehicle.
Under the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, you have the right to a lawyer following an arrest. After you request one, officers cannot continue to question you about the offense until that lawyer is there by your side.
At Smith, Schroeder & O’Connell, we always suggest that our clients work with us as soon as possible to minimize the potential consequences of a drug charge. We realize that you may already be facing serious consequences. We work to minimize those consequences from the moment you contact our Decatur law office.
