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

You deserve an advocate who will fight aggressively to protect your rights. Attorney Brian Hansford has decades of experience working in the criminal justice system. 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.

My son, who is now 16 years old, faced some serious charges. We expected the worst. This case involved felony charges, and the prosecutor was being tough. She did not want to work with us to settle, but Brian and his team worked a miracle in our favor. Brian is persistent, strategic, and resourceful. He thinks outside of the box on how to resolve difficult issues. We were impressed with his diligence. Brian is always calm under pressure. He did not waiver or give up or settle for less. He will fight to make sure you are given a fair shake. We were beyond pleased with the result. Brian and his team deserve all the credit for making sure my son will be able to go on with his life without these charges holding him back. I also have to mention Erin Bell, who was there every step of the way. She was a huge help to us on so many occasions. Erin was always patient when we were going through frustrations or roadblocks. I appreciate all Brian and Erin did for us. I highly recommend you give them a call!!

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.

I was faced with an unexpected situation with my teenager and felt helpless and completely out of my depth. Brian was fantastic at putting my mind at ease, talking me through what needed to be done to reach the desired end result. He mapped out a plan and got it done. I wouldn’t go to anyone else.- Previous Client
-
Brian was clear and concise with me and set my expectations appropriately. I switched to Brian from a Cobb County based lawyer after realizing that his comfort with the Forsyth prosecutors and judicial team was essential to a successful defense strategy. Under his team's guidance, we were able to get my charges dropped--which exceeded my expectations.- Shawn
-
After engaging Mr. Hansford in a legal matter, the professionalism, accessibility, service, reliability, and kind support demonstrated by Mr. Hansford and his team was so impressive I have referred Mr. Hansford to friends and colleagues. My legal matter resulted in a favorable outcome and I attribute that success to the outstanding service provided by Mr. Hansford.
- Joe -
I had a BUI case in Hall County and Brian and his team did better than I could have ever expected. He found several problems and mistakes the officer had made that allowed us to get evidence suppressed. He also recommended an expert witness that found many additional problems with the testing the officer did. This gave us a great case and it was reduced to a lesser charge.
- Bill -
Brian was very knowledgeable in his area of expertise. He was professional and maintained a line of communication throughout my case. I appreciated his attitude and approach. I would recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney that will work hard for your best interest. Thanks so much!- Jason
