Learn MoreFederal criminal laws include major drug offenses, mail and wire fraud, health care fraud, bank fraud, identity theft, and public corruption offenses such as bribery. Many federal criminal prosecutions involve complex white-collar crime cases, though the federal prosecutors also focus on hate crimes, terrorism cases, and gang prosecutions.
Learn MoreIn the Georgia Supreme Court, nine Justices hear the appeal. In federal cases tried in Georgia, Florida, and Alabama, three judges in the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals will hear the appeal. The defendant, having been found guilty, will assert in the appeal that the trial was unfair for a variety of reasons: The prosecutor was permitted to introduce evidence that was inadmissible (such as hearsay); the defense was prohibited from introducing evidence that should have been admitted; the defendant’s Fourth Amendment rights to be free from an illegal search or seizure were violated and the trial judge did not correctly decide this issue in the trial court; the evidence at trial was not sufficient to support the conviction, notwithstanding the decision of the jury; the defendant’s trial counsel was either incompetent, or made a significant mistake at trial, or in preparing for trial and locating favorable witnesses. These are just a sample of the types of errors that can support a successful appeal.
Learn MoreThese offenses apply to numerous drugs, including marijuana, cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, and scores of other controlled substances including pharmaceutical drugs. There are cases involving street-level distributors and other cases involving corrupt doctors who sell opioids for no legitimate medical purpose. The sentences range from probation to life in prison, depending on the drug involved, the quantity of the drug involved, and the defendant’s prior record.
Learn MoreBeyond decades of potential prison, a conviction means you will also be required to register as a sex offender, which prevents you from living or working within 1,000 feet of schools, parks, and other places where children congregate.
Learn MoreThe defense of these cases involves a thorough understanding of the law – available defenses and challenges to the evidence; and a command of the facts which is accomplished by reviewing the prosecution’s “discovery” and conducting additional independent investigation.
Learn MoreThe lawyers at Garland, Samuel & Loeb are experienced in handling the defense of a white-collar prosecution. There is no “legal” definition of a white-collar crime. Generally, white collar crimes are characterized by a crime that alleges theft or fraud – in other words, rather than a violent crime, or a drug or a sex offense. Typical of white-collar crimes are significant fraud offenses involving large financial frauds. Often, the defendant is a professional (banker, public official, doctor, lawyer, business professional).

The accident could be caused by a simple driving error, or something more complex like an over-tired driver, a poorly maintained vehicle, or the like. If the driver is an employee or agent of a company, acting in the course and scope of his employment, the company can be liable in addition to the driver.
Learn MoreThe hazard could be some condition on the property, like an open fall hazard, or it can be a failure to provide adequate security. The level of duty owed depends on the victim of the hazard – the highest duty is owed to the “invitee,” like someone on the premises to transact some kind of business.
Learn MoreIf the injury is due to the intentional wrongful act or negligence of another, a tort claim can be brought for compensation. The damages awardable can include compensation for pain and suffering, medical bills, lost wages, disfigurement, and the like. In some cases, punitive damages can be available.
Learn MoreOften the injury comes from an error resulting in the deprivation of oxygen-rich blood to the brain of the fetus, or from a delivery error that causes a physical injury to the baby. These mistakes can result in permanent injuries that require expensive care over the child’s lifetime.
Learn MoreNegligence can come in the form of an accident, medical malpractice, and many other ways. Legal experience and knowledgeable experts are needed to pursue these claims successfully.
Learn MoreTo pursue a claim for medical negligence, the victim needs to gather all relevant medical records promptly. Expert testimony supporting the claim is also needed. Because of strict time limitations on malpractice cases, it’s important to investigate and pursue the claim as early as possible.
