Comprehensive Criminal Defense for a Wide Range of Charges

Georgia’s criminal justice system is complex and often unforgiving. Criminal allegations, even those involving minor offenses, can follow a person for years and negatively affect employment, education, and personal relationships. To protect clients, every case is approached with meticulous preparation, thorough investigation, and a defense strategy tailored to the specific facts.

Slider Law handles a broad spectrum of criminal charges, including misdemeanors, felonies, and federal offenses. Every client receives personalized attention, clear guidance, and a strong advocate who is prepared to stand up against the prosecution at every stage of the legal process.

DUI Defense and Traffic Offenses

DUI charges are among the most aggressively prosecuted crimes in Georgia. A conviction can lead to steep fines, mandatory classes, license suspension, probation, and even jail time. Fighting a DUI requires a detailed understanding of the law, Georgia’s implied consent rules, and the proper procedures for chemical and field sobriety testing.

Slider Law examines every aspect of the case—why the vehicle was stopped, how tests were administered, and whether law enforcement respected constitutional protections. Representation includes defending clients in both criminal court and at Administrative License Suspension hearings. Traffic-related offenses such as reckless driving, hit-and-run, and driving with a suspended license are also handled with the goal of protecting driving privileges and minimizing long-term consequences.

Drug Crime Defense

Georgia enforces strict penalties for drug-related offenses, making it essential to have a Buckhead criminal defense attorney who knows how to challenge unlawful searches, faulty warrants, and questionable police conduct. Drug cases often involve complex issues surrounding evidence collection and constitutional rights.

Slider Law defends clients charged with possession, distribution, trafficking, drug manufacturing, and prescription-related offenses. Whether the case involves a small amount of marijuana or allegations of large-scale drug operations, the focus is on identifying weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and pursuing the most favorable resolution.

Violent Crimes and Serious Felonies

Charges involving violence demand experienced and aggressive representation. Convictions for violent offenses can result in lengthy prison sentences, loss of certain civil rights, and a permanent criminal record. These cases frequently involve disputed facts, conflicting witness statements, and high emotions.

Slider Law represents clients accused of aggravated assault, domestic violence, armed robbery, kidnapping, manslaughter, and homicide. Building a strong defense may include analyzing forensic evidence, reviewing digital data, working with expert witnesses, and conducting a detailed investigation of the events leading to the arrest. Every move is designed to ensure that the client’s rights are protected and that the prosecution is held to its burden of proving every element of the offense.

Theft and Property Crimes

Property crimes vary widely—from shoplifting and theft by taking to burglary, robbery, and criminal damage to property. Even minor property offenses can impact future employment since they often involve allegations of dishonesty.

These cases are handled with a strategic approach, beginning with a thorough examination of evidence such as surveillance footage, witness statements, digital records, and forensic reports. When appropriate, negotiations are pursued to reduce charges, secure diversion programs, or limit penalties. When necessary, cases are taken to trial to challenge the prosecution’s narrative and prove the client’s innocence.

White Collar Crime Representation

White collar crimes typically involve allegations of financial wrongdoing, fraud, or deception. These cases can be investigated for months or even years before charges are filed and often involve state or federal agencies. The evidence in these cases tends to be highly technical and document-heavy, requiring a careful and methodical approach.

Slider Law represents individuals charged with embezzlement, identity theft, money laundering, tax crimes, computer fraud, and other complex financial offenses. The defense strategy may involve analyzing financial records, reviewing digital communications, interviewing witnesses, and challenging the legality of the investigation itself. The goal is to protect the client’s reputation, career, and future.

Domestic Violence Charges and Protective Orders

Accusations of domestic violence can instantly change a person’s life. Protective orders can limit where someone can live, restrict contact with family members, and influence custody decisions. Even before a criminal case is resolved, the consequences may be severe.

Slider Law handles both the criminal and civil aspects of domestic violence accusations. This includes defending against charges of battery, harassment, stalking, and family violence, as well as representing clients at protective order hearings. A strong defense is essential in these cases, especially when allegations are exaggerated, retaliatory, or based on misunderstandings.

Juvenile Defense

When a minor is accused of a crime, it is critical to work with a lawyer who understands Georgia’s juvenile justice system. Juvenile cases are handled differently than adult cases, and outcomes can greatly affect a child’s future opportunities.

Slider Law represents minors charged with underage drinking, drug possession, fighting, theft, vandalism, and school-related offenses. The priority is to protect the child’s future by seeking alternative resolutions, diversion programs, and outcomes that avoid long-term damage to their record.

Probation Violations

A probation violation can result in harsh consequences, including jail time, extended probation, or additional conditions. These cases often arise from misunderstandings, inability to pay fines, or mistakes that occur during a stressful situation.

Slider Law defends clients accused of failing to report, missing drug tests, committing new offenses, or violating special conditions. The goal is to present evidence, clarify misunderstandings, and work toward the least severe outcome.

Why Clients Choose Slider Law

Selecting the right Buckhead criminal defense attorney is one of the most important decisions someone can make after an arrest. Slider Law provides a defense built on preparation, communication, and dedication to the client’s well-being. Clients choose the firm because they receive:

  • A tailored legal strategy based on the unique facts of the case
