State Courts
We also take on cases in the state court system of Georgia. Just like the federal system, Georgia has both trial courts and appellate courts. We are licensed to handle cases in each and every court within the State of Georgia.
A criminal case in the Georgia courts often begins at the Superior Court level. There are 159 counties in Georgia, and each county has its own Superior Court. These are the courts where more serious criminal cases involving felonies are brought. Some counties also have State Courts or Municipal Courts for handling misdemeanors and less serious crimes.
An appeal from a Georgia case first usually goes to the Georgia Court of Appeals. After that, the matter will sometimes be heard in the Georgia Supreme Court. Each of these appellate courts is here in Atlanta, very close to our offices.
