Atlanta, GA criminal defense attorney Sandy Wallack shares his advice for someone charged with murder in Georgia. He advises that if someone is charged with murder, the most important step is to secure a criminal defense attorney at the outset who can manage the case through trial. Often, he is retained later to handle appeals, post-conviction matters, or habeas corpus petitions, typically when the defendant was unable to hire counsel initially and the family only secured resources much later. He emphasizes that having a trusted and capable attorney from the beginning of the trial is crucial for ensuring proper representation and peace of mind.
