Glenn T. Stern

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. Charged with possession after traffic stop, probation revoked; what are my rights?

March 24, 2025

A: I want to be straight with you--this isn't something you should be asking questions on the web about and then trying to navigate yourself. This is serious, serious business! Trafficking sentences carry mandatory jail time, and it cannot be suspended-that means the judge HAS to send you to prison if you're convicted.

It sounds like you have some defenses, but you need a trained and experienced attorney to take the wheel from you ASAP. Get yourself a lawyer now-the longer you wait, the higher the risk you take in losing opportunities that an attorney could have taken advantage of, but are now lost because you waited too long...

Q. What does Motion to Nolle Prosequi mean for DUI and hit and run case?

March 24, 2025

A: A "Motion to Nolle Prosequi" is the fancy legal term for the state moving to dismiss your case. It means that they don't intend to pursue the charges against you. They have to put it down for hearing, because it gives you the opportunity to object if you wanted to (for some reason.)

If you're okay with them dismissing the charges, then you don't need to show up.

Q. How to file civil claim for assault by coworker without DOB/address in GA?

March 6, 2025

A: You need to go down to the Fulton County courthouse and fill out a "Warrant Application Form." The fee is $20. The office is file the form is located in the Carnes Building, 160 Pryor Street, Room J150.

They will then give you a court date for a hearing.
