Several different types of felony convictions require a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment. These mandatory minimum terms of imprisonment do not allow for parole or probation. Once convicted of any type of felony in Georgia, you are forever prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm.

Additionally, some convictions have other penalties attached. For example, a drug conviction, even a misdemeanor possession of marijuana charge, will result in your driver’s license being suspended. A conviction under anything involving family violence, even a misdemeanor family violence battery, will forever bar you from owning or possessing any type of a firearm.

Convictions follow you forever. It is important that you have a lawyer who not just knows, but understands the criminal justice system that will fight for your rights.

The federal justice system is different from the state justice system in many different ways. One major difference is the federal system has eliminated parole. Additionally, the federal government has the luxury of turning over the weaker cases to the state for prosecution. That does not mean that federal prosecutions are “slam dunks” for the government. It simply means the stakes start out high and only go higher.

It is important that you have a lawyer who is not afraid to stand up to Uncle Sam and effectively fight for you.
