Atlanta Criminal Defense Attorney Glenn Stern learned how to practice law representing indigent clients for the Rockdale County Public Defender's Office-one of metro Atlanta's toughest places to be charged with a crime. In private practice, Glenn has continued to use that skill and training for decades, winning dismissals and reductions for his clients.
A graduate of the Stetson University College of Law (nationally renowned for their trial advocacy program), Glenn gained valuable insight into how the "other side" works, trying cases for the Hillsborough County Florida District Attorney's Office as a third-year student.

- Q. How likely will i get jail time for contributing to the delinquency of a minor
- A: Whether or not someone receives jail time for a conviction depends on a variety of conditions, including (but not limited to) the defendant's prior criminal history, the nature of the offense, whether there were injuries to the victims, and if so-the extent of those injuries, the county the charge is being heard in, The judge who was hearing the case, and the prosecutor's intentions.
No attorney could really make an accurate prediction as to what might happen without being able to account for all of those variables.
- Q. What sentence will be given for sale of meth under a gram in ga
- A: That answer depends on several factors. A first time offense is between 2 to 30 years in prison, although that may be probated. Sentencing factors include prior criminal history and which county you are charged in. Criminal sentences can vary substantially from county to county for the same offense.
- Q. Does the solicitor general have the power to change/add charges? Up them from misdemeanor to felony?
- A: The solicitor's office does have the authority to add, remove, or modify charges as they see appropriate. It happens all the time.
Furthermore, if they believe a charge should be a felony (such a domestic violence charge for someone who has a prior conviction for domestic violence)-The solicitor can send the case to the district attorney's office to charge it as a felony. But it's not required. Furthermore, the district attorney's office gets to decide for themselves whether or not to take any action after a case is sent up from the solicitor's office. Sometimes they decline, and send the case back to the solicitor.
