Q. When a residence is raided by law enforcement they leave behind a property sheet of items they took, at the top it says

1 March 2021

A: I would advise that you contact a lawyer to attempt to get your items back. Since there was a search warrant executed where you live, it may mean that there is an active investigation and thus it may not be a good idea to speak to law enforcement without representation. Charges could still very well be forthcoming. The government sometimes can take a full year after a search warrant is executed to indict.

Q. What's the difference between a probation hold? And a probation arrest warrant? And why isn't it done at the same time?

1 March 2021

A: Your fiancé violated the terms of his original probation with the new arrest. In all cases, when one is put on probation, there is a statement that says "while on probation do not violate any laws" or something to that effect. So, an ARREST not conviction will trigger a probation revocation arrest warrant.

Q. Does a 'Felony' come off of someone's record after a certain period? Can a marijuana sell/distribution be expunged?

11 December 2020

A: Unfortunately, in Georgia, you can no longer expunge your record. The new term is "restriction" and your case doesn't qualify for restriction. So, it will remain on your record.
