Forsyth County Criminal Lawyer

Protecting Your Rights & Defending Your Freedom

If you have been arrested and charged with a criminal offense in North Georgia, including Cumming and the surrounding areas, you may feel overwhelmed and worried about your future. Many people are unsure of where to turn or who to trust to ensure that their rights are protected and their freedoms defended. I am Andrew J. Richman, criminal defense attorney in Georgia, and I can help you if you face charges in Cumming.

At Richman Law Firm, I offer my clients:

  • Former prosecutorial experience
  • Years of legal knowledge
  • 24/7 availability
  • Personalized defense
  • Trusted and qualified counsel

Arrest Is Not a Conviction

What many people do not realize is that an arrest is not a conviction. Just because you were charged with a crime does not mean that you will be found guilty of the allegations. The criminal process requires that evidence be brought forth against you and that prosecutors formally try you in order for a judge or jury to determine whether you are guilty of a criminal act.

When you work with Richman Law Firm, I can aggressively pursue a personalized and strong defense for your case and help protect you from a serious criminal conviction. However, it is important that you work fast! The more time you spend searching for an attorney, the more time the prosecutor has to build a case against you. Therefore, I highly recommend that you contact Richman Law Firm immediately.

Aggressive Defense in Your Time of Need

As a former prosecutor, I have seen how a criminal conviction can greatly change the course of an individual’s life. I know that having an attorney on your side can make all the difference in the outcome of your case. I am proud to have earned numerous awards and accolades that stand as a testament to the dedication and hard work I devote to each case.

For example, in 2013, I received the lawyer rating organization Avvo’s Clients’ Choice award for Top Criminal Defense Attorney. Each client who retains my assistance receives direct, one-on-one attention from me. I strive to make myself available to each and every client 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in addition to providing clients with weekly case updates. I encourage active participation by my clients and work to provide them with the defense that they deserve.

No case is too big or too small for our criminal attorneys to handle:
