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.

Brian Hansford represented my 18-year-old son in a first offense reckless driving case. Brian was able to obtain a plea deal bringing the case from a 6-month suspension of his license and $1,000.00 fine to community service, a defensive driving course and a much-reduced fine of under $100.00. He and his assistant Erin were super responsive and great to work with. I hope never to need this type of legal help again, but if I do I would not hesitate to use Brian again to help.

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

I was frantic trying to find an attorney, and me being out of state, it was proving to be difficult for the situation at hand. I reached out to the firm on a Sunday evening and received a response that night, as well as a follow-up the next day to confirm the details of the case. By the end of the week, and after speaking to multiple firms, I chose Mr. Hansford. Mr. Hansford, and his assistant Ms. Bell, were beyond helpful in our situation. They were very accessible and returned emails/calls ASAP. They kept us informed every step of the way and answered all questions in a thoughtful, and timely, manner. I highly recommend this firm for your legal issues. Best part is, we avoided even having to make a trip to GA thanks to Mr. Hansford and Ms. Bell.- Brandy

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

We were in need of finding an attorney from out of state. Our good fortune was to find Brian Allen Hansford to represent our grandson. We received immediate, thorough, thoughtful and very professional representation. We were not left in the blind for one moment throughout the process. Everything was thoroughly explained, followed up on in a very timely manner with a personal touch. His staff is superior.- Kathleen
