Frequently Asked Questions

What Should I Do Immediately After Being Charged with a Felony in Gwinnett County?

If you're charged with a felony, it's crucial to remain calm and aware of your rights. Your first step should be to contact a felony criminal lawyer immediately. Avoid discussing details of the case with anyone other than your lawyer, as statements can be used against you. Remember that having legal representation can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case. It's important to collect any documents or evidence related to your case and refrain from posting anything on social media that may impact your defense. Understanding your rights and the charges against you is an integral part of navigating this challenging situation.

How Does the Legal Process Work for Felonies in Gwinnett County?

The process begins with an arrest and possible arraignment, where you’ll hear charges against you. As a Gwinnett County resident, your case will be heard in local courts, where we have extensive experience. Pre-trial, we’ll prepare motions, collect evidence, and possibly negotiate plea deals.

Georgia imposes significant penalties for felonies, including imprisonment, fines, and long-term impacts like loss of voting rights and difficulty finding employment. In Gwinnett County, the seriousness of the offense and prior records influence sentencing. Our job is to mitigate these outcomes through skilled negotiation and robust defense strategies. A conviction can also affect personal relationships, housing opportunities, and financial stability. We strive to reduce these impacts by presenting a strong case for lesser penalties or alternatives such as community service or rehabilitation programs. By understanding the broader implications of a felony conviction, we craft a defense that not only addresses immediate legal challenges but also promotes a longer-term plan for client reintegration and recovery.

"I do not know what to say other than what an amazing experience."
Mr. Boyle took my call, we have never met and he spent his valuable time listening to my legal issues. After patiently considering what I had told him, he gave me multiple options and some very sound legal advice. He also gave the names of a couple of attorneys that were better suited to handle my civil case, since his practice was more focused on criminal law.
Mr. Boyle then refused my offer to pay his firm for this valuable consultation over the phone.
I do not know what to say other than what an amazing experience. He is a credit to the legal profession.

- Chuck
"The outcome could not have been any better for me!"
Mr. Boyle was very professional and knowledgeable of situations such as mine. Whenever I had to contact him for whatever reason, he promptly responded. My career depends upon my retaining a commercial driver’s license, and I was in jeopardy of losing it or possibly of losing a career of 16 years. The outcome could not have been any better for me! Both my career and commercial driver’s license are no longer in jeopardy! I would highly recommend Mr. Boyle’s services.

- Chad
"He was very helpful in getting me the lowest fines and punishment for my crime."
David kept me informed throughout the whole process. He was very helpful in getting me the lowest fines and punishment for my crime. I am thankful one of my customers introduced me to him. He even helped get me out of a sticky situation, after my original conviction.

- A Satisfied Client
"A very succinct and clear response."
Mr. Boyle reviewed my past criminal case information and advised me on my rights to own a firearm in regards to state and federal laws with a very succinct and clear response.

- A Satisfied Client
"Mr. Boyle stood by me since day one."
Mr. David Boyle is the best lawyer I’ve ever had. Mr. Boyle stood by me since day one of my cases and believed me on my situation and never thought otherwise during my time with him representing me. I live in another state so it was hard for me to get back and forth to court, but it ended well and he got my case dismissed. I’m glad Mr. Boyle was my lawyer during this time. The main reason I admire Mr. Boyle and his work is that when I explained my situation to him he never said he didn’t believe me and that I should take a plea. I thank him and praise him every day even if I don’t tell him, it’s on my mind here on out. Now that this is done with I can go back to my life not stressing, finishing my college degree, taking care of my loving kids and get my job back. I highly recommend Mr. Boyle to anyone in a situation of any manner. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. BOYLE.

"He was able to handle my whole case while I was out of state."
I received a fairly significant speeding ticket shortly before leaving Georgia and would not be able to return to the state due to work, so I was concerned about getting my case handled appropriately. I called David Boyle’s office, and much to my surprise he was able to talk to me right away. He listened to my concerns and gave me his thoughts and some legal advice to let me decide whether or not I wanted representation. Once I decided to be represented by him, he was able to handle my whole case while I was out of state with just a few forms for me to fill out, he was easy to get a hold of, even with a significant time zone difference after I left the state, and he got me the outcome I wanted- the speed was lowered considerably and avoided going on my driving record. I’m glad I called!

- Catie
"Great reputation with the Prosecutor."
David represented me in a very professional manner. His great reputation with the Prosecutor allowed him to negotiate my case with excellent results for me!

Again Mr.Crawford thank you so much.
