Criminal Defense
In most drug possession cases, issues involving search and seizure are at the heart of the defense. Our criminal defense attorneys will investigate the circumstances surrounding your arrest, looking to find any irregularities in the state’s evidence. If it appears that the police violated your Fourth Amendment rights, we will ask the court to suppress the illegally obtained evidence. At the core of our judicial system is the requirement that law enforcement follow the rules. It is our duty as attorneys to ensure that they do so.
DUI/DWI
Being located in a college town, TW's attorneys have developed extensive expertise defending students charged with alcohol-related offenses. Charges may be Underage Possession of Alcohol (sometimes referred to as UAP or MIP [minor in possession]), DUI, Open Container, Public Intoxication and Disorderly Conduct. DUI is certainly a serious charge, and a DUI record can have long term consequences. However, just because an individual may have measured blood or breath alcohol content above the “legal limit” does not mean that the State is entitled to a conviction. Our attorneys have defended literally hundreds of clients on DUI and other alcohol related charges, and have the experience to evaluate a situation and work toward a solution that will minimize the impact.
Wrongful Death
Timmons Warnes, LLP represents clients who have wrongful death claims with understanding and compassion while intensively asserting our expertise against the at-fault party.
Traffic Violations
In Georgia, all traffic violations are considered criminal offenses. You need an attorney to protect your rights. Even a simple speeding ticket will add points to your driver’s license and could cause your insurance rates to rise. The Georgia driver’s license system works on a “points” basis, and depending on your age, the points assessed in your type of case can have a great effect on the retention of your ability to drive. This is especially true for anyone under 21.
Sex Crimes
Criminal Law: Our criminal defense attorneys are skilled in defending every type of state and federal charge, including white collar crimes, drug charges, theft, robbery, burglary, sex crimes, assault, murder, DUI, traffic violations and underage possession of alcohol (UPA).
Robbery
Burglary
White Collar Crimes
White collar crime is typically related to business or fraud. In many cases the relationship between the accused and the alleged victim is critical. The core element of such offenses usually involves the intent to deceive or defraud the public or the shareholders of a business. However, many times the accused, because of the nature of his or her employment, may be in violation of the law without specifically knowing it. But, ignorance of the law is no excuse. Penalties for white collar crime can be harsh in many cases. TW’s attorneys who handle criminal cases are experienced in white collar crime defense. If you, a member of your family, or a friend may be charged with such an offense, contact us.
Theft
Misdemeanors
On college campuses and in college towns, such as Athens, underage drinking is a common problem. Students sometimes exercise their new-found freedom in less than productive ways and, Georgia football Saturdays are, well, Georgia football Saturdays. Athens takes a tough stance in enforcing this area of the law. Every night and every weekend, the police charge people with UPA and other alcohol-related crimes. If you have been charged with UPA, you may be surprised to find out that UPA is a misdemeanor crime punishable by up to 6 months in jail and a significant monetary fine.
Drug Crimes
Drug trafficking charges are often based on unreliable evidence. Prosecutors often rely on the testimony of criminals or confidential informants. Typically, these individuals are only testifying in exchange for a reduced sentence or a dismissal of the charges altogether. As such, their testimony may not be credible. If we have to go to trial in your drug trafficking case, you can be assured that we will take the necessary steps to show the weaknesses in the prosecution’s case.
Assault
Murder
Homicide
Shoplifting

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Nobody particularly wants to think about estate planning. It, by its terms, means someone’s demise is at the center, either your own or that of a loved one. Either way, it can seem depressing and overwhelming. That said, it needs to be stated that -- having no plan is NOT an effective plan. In some cases, it can be disastrous.
