Defending Your Rights in Georgia Criminal and Traffic Cases

I am criminal defense attorney Josh W. Thacker, and I have both prosecuted and defended all kinds of cases. I spent 6 years as an Assistant District Attorney. I handled everything from speeding tickets to murder cases. I know how the prosecution puts cases together, and I know how to fight them.

I believe that my experience as a prosecutor allows me to defend my clients more effectively. It gives me a clear understanding of your realistic options and practical knowledge about what strategies could work for you.
