Felony Cases We Handle
Unlike other states, felonies in Georgia are not divided into "classes" to designate how serious the crime is. Instead, penalties are determined on a crime-by-crime basis. In Georgia, all felony crimes are punishable by a prison sentence of 1 year or more, whereas misdemeanor sentencing is always less than 1 year and only involves county or local jail.
At our law firm, we effectively represent defendants charged with major felony crimes such as:
- Assault
- Manslaughter
- Fraud
- Burglary
- Kidnapping
- Domestic violence

We understand that being accused of a crime does not make you a criminal. We are prepared to do everything possible to raise doubts about allegations made by the prosecution. Get an aggressive advocate to protect your future. Call now and get started.

We were not prepared for the legal situation we found ourselves in with our daughter and wasn't really sure if we needed an attorney or not. But after a consultation with Brian, we knew we needed help. Brian was amazing to work with. He listened, answered all of our questions, phone calls, and emails with grace and always right away. He and Erin, his legal assistant, made a terrible situation, not so terrible. We knew we had someone on our side who was looking out for our child in a way no one else would. Brian is well connected in the legal community here in the Forsyth County and was able to offer insight as to how juvenile court operates that we would never have known. He kept in close contact in regards to our case and made sure we knew what to expect every step of the way. And I'm thrilled to report, got us to the best legal outcome we could have hoped for for our daughter. But Brian often spoke to us parent to parent...offering not just legal advice, but options and ideas for our child's future. He even called us a week after our court appearance to check on us and the whole family and to see how everyone was doing and if there was anything we needed help with. We are so grateful for his legal ability as well as his compassion and grace during what has been a very challenging time for our family. If you or your child is in need of help, do reach out to Brian. You will be so thankful that you did.- Previous Client

I cannot say enough about the service that Brian and his team member Erin provided. He was recommended to us by a friend who had hired him for their son. They provided good, solid advice to my family when my son received a fairly severe driving citation. The punishment that the state was suggesting was pretty brutal for the offense. We told Brian what we would like for the outcome to be and he worked hard to negotiate with the state to get the best possible outcome for us while still giving our son adequate punishment to hopefully make sure a lesson was learned. Brian was very professional from our first consultation all the way through to the sentencing. Erin was very good about keeping us informed and responded promptly to email anytime we had a question. Would not hesitate using his services in the future. Hopefully that won't be necessary.- Dan

We hired Mr. Hansford to assist us with a juvenile traffic citation. He met with us and shared the pros and cons of the incident. Mr. Hansford met with the Judge on our behalf, we were able to accept a plan from the court and continue with our lives. We could have faced the Judge without an attorney but thought it was best to have Mr. Hansford represent my teenager. He is well worth the time and money.

Brian and his team did an excellent job advising and then representing us in court after our daughter was viciously beaten at a party. They were professional and courteous throughout the process. Brian and his fellow attorney Jennifer Ray took their time to make sure they had all of the facts before moving forward. Erin Bell, Brian's legal secretary did a great job keeping us informed as to the status of our case. I can honestly say that I feel my daughter was represented by the best legal team in the area. I recommend Brian's firm without reservation to anyone in need of his services.
