Family Law

Child Custody and Visitation
When facing a family violence allegation, retaining a lawyer as soon as possible is your best course of action. Penalties for conviction may include loss or restriction of visitation rights, if you are divorced and do not have custody of your children; your right to vote or possess firearms, or possibly even jail time. If kidnapping or assault with a weapon are an aspect of the domestic violence accusation, you may even face felony charges.

Criminal Law

Criminal Defense
Our team at Ghanouni Teen & Young Adult Defense Firm believes in protecting the bright futures of young adults. That is why our criminal defense law firm is proud to sponsor our scholarship to award one student who is passionate about achieving their full potential.
DUI/DWI
In Georgia, teens and 20-year-olds driving under the influence of alcohol face particularly steep consequences—even when they’re not impaired. That’s because an under-21 driver can be arrested for DUI with only a small amount of alcohol in his or her system: a blood alcohol concentration of.02 grams or higher. If convicted, the driver may receive jail time, probation and community service, as well as a suspended license and a potentially long-lasting criminal record.
Traffic Violations
According to the Encyclopedia of Everyday Law, “the first traffic ticket in the United States was allegedly given to a New York City cab driver on May 20, 1899, for going at the breakneck speed of 12 miles per hour.”
Sex Crimes
As a general rule of thumb, most crimes against a person are felonies, though some assault and battery crimes may be misdemeanors. Sex crimes are also usually felonies, with some exceptions. Property crimes and theft may be felonies or misdemeanors depending on the value of what was stolen, whether there was force involved and whether the individual had prior convictions. DUIs depend on age and prior history.
Fraud
Robbery
White Collar Crimes
The cases our firm handles range from juvenile delinquency, municipal offenses and traffic violations to misdemeanors and felonies, from driving under the influence (DUI), assault, battery, probation and parole violations to drug crimes, weapons charges and white-collar crimes.
Theft
Misdemeanors
Criminal charges brought by the police, local authorities and state or federal governments encompass a broad scope of activities. Some of these crimes get classified as either a misdemeanor or felony. Offenses are also categorized into state or federal offenses.
Embezzlement
Drug Crimes
Drug crimes and punishments vary tremendously based on factors teens and young adults may not always understand. The drug type is important, but the amount in possession also plays a large part in sentencing and possible punishments. In serious cases, young people can face years of prison time, restrictive probation and overwhelming fines. A criminal record including drug charges may create problems with employers for years to come.
Assault
Delinquency offenses are more serious: actions like theft, simple assault or disorderly conduct. When a young person is found to be delinquent, it’s akin to a guilty verdict in an adult case.
Murder
In Georgia, a felony is a crime with a sentence of more than 12 months. This could be something as serious as a murder charge, or something like marijuana possession of more than 1 ounce.
Juvenile Crimes
Some juvenile crimes are considered status offenses. These are issues that are only considered illegal when they’re committed by minors, like truancy, running away, or drinking alcohol.
Probation Violation
Client was accused of a probation violation in Cherokee County for two missed drug tests after having already had an administrative revocation for a missed test. The prosecutor's policy was to revoke thirty days to the county...
Identity Theft
Homicide
Shoplifting
For many young people, peer pressure, an attraction to risk, and poor decision-making will lead to a mistake or two. Maybe it’s shoplifting a low-cost item on the spur of the moment. Perhaps it’s having some drinks at a college bar and walking home too rowdily. Maybe it’s trespassing with friends or possessing a small amount of marijuana for personal use.
Money Laundering
A knowledgeable attorney in Cherokee County could help defend against any form or variety of these felony charges. Contact us today to learn more about how we could help.
Kidnapping
Manslaughter
It is inevitable that the operation of motor vehicles on state roads leads to many traffic violations. Speeding, moving violations, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs ( DUI ), hit and run, vehicular manslaughter, driving without a license, and reckless operation are only a few instances.
Internet Crimes
Prostitution
Hit and Run

Property Law

Real Estate Litigation
Unlike a civil suit, which involves cases arising from breach of contract, car accidents, debt collection or boundary disputes, for example, where parties argue about money, services or the right of one party to do something to which the other party objects, in a criminal case, either the State or Federal government brings criminal charges, accusing an individual of a crime. Conviction of a criminal act results in punishment as prescribed by law. Punishment reflects the severity of the crime and maybe a jail sentence or a combination of both fines and imprisonment.
Property Damage
Some alleged criminal acts are more common among young adults or teens, such as underage drinking, traffic violations, DUI, illegal drug possession, shoplifting, theft, property damage, or fighting related offenses, such as assault or battery. Depending on the nature of the charges and the court the case is heard, the accused might face an impacted criminal record or need to spend time in an adult or juvenile detention facility. This could be emotionally damaging and stressful for an entire family.
