North Atlanta Georgia Criminal Defense Lawyer

My name is Melvin S. Nash, and I have over 25 years of criminal law practice under my belt, including 10 years as a Cobb County prosecuting attorney, and 2 years serving as a judge. I represent clients throughout Georgia, especially North Atlanta, who have been charged with committing a criminal violation, including, felonies, misdemeanors, drunk driving, manslaughter, murder, sex offenses, drug possession, possession with intent to distribute, domestic violence, under age drinking, boating under the influence of alcohol, traffic violations, suspended licenses, probation violations, etc.. When you hire me, you get me, not some associate just out of law school.

During my tenure as judge, I interacted with other judges, prosecutors, and other officials in the judicial system. I gained valuable insight into how many of the judges may arrive at their decisions (which can be particularly important in ruling on motions and during sentencing), as well as insight into my own thought process as a judge, sitting on the bench.

As a former prosecutor, I also gained insight into how many of the judges think, some of their tendencies, and also how prosecutors approach cases, insight into their way of thinking, as well as personal knowledge of how certain prosecutors may approach various types of cases. I certainly have insight into how I approached cases as a prosecutor.

As a North Atlanta criminal lawyer, I have over 25 years of trial experience, as well as negotiating plea agreements. I understand the strengths and weaknesses of the prosecutions case, and use this leverage to give you the maximum bargaining strength possible, and, if need be, to provide you with the best possible criminal defense I can, using all my experience, knowledge, and skill, if your case goes to trial.

I also have taught criminal procedure, which, with my other experience, can give you the confidence that I understand the law. Being charged with a crime is serious. The prosecution and judges will take your charges seriously; therefore, you better take them seriously too, and retain the best possible criminal defense attorney available.

When criminal charges are levied against you, you want a criminal defense attorney who knows the system, knows the prosecutors, knows the police, and knows the judges, from the inside. You want a lawyer who can quickly analyze your case, and the people involved, and give you the complete picture. You want a lawyer who knows all the options, and knows how to get results.

I am an attorney with over 25 years of criminal practice, a former prosecutor, and a former judge. I have the experience, background, knowledge, and skill to give you the complete picture, present you with all the options, and get results. Contact an experienced North Atlanta criminal lawyer today for a free initial consultation, and discover how a former judge, former prosecutor, and experienced attorney with a track record of success can help you.
