FELONY & MISDEMEANOR DEFENSE
IN GEORGIA
A Top-Rated Felony & Misdemeanor Defense Lawyer Providing Strategic Criminal Defense for Serious and Minor Charges.
Felony Defense & Misdemeanor Defense in Georgia
In the city of Atlanta and surrounding counties in the state of Georgia a felony conviction permanently strips you of civil rights and fundamentally alters your future. We handle high stakes felony cases with the precision and aggression of an attorney who has been on both sides of the courtroom.
When you are facing a criminal charge in the system feels like it is working against you. Because it is. Police build the reports. Prosecutors control the charges. The pressure to plead guilty — just to make the fear stop — is overwhelming.
Serreen Meki has operated inside every level of that system. While in law school she sought out experience on both sides of the criminal justice system — interning at the Clayton County Public Defender’s Office and the Georgia Capital Defender’s Office where she advocated for defendants facing the most serious charges including the death penalty, and serving in the narcotics unit of the United States Attorney’s Office.
Meki already knows the persecution’s plan.
Police reports, charging decisions, and plea negotiations often follow predictable patterns. Drawing on experience inside the criminal justice system, Serreen Meki recognizes those tactics and uses that knowledge to build stronger, more effective defenses.
What a Criminal Conviction in Georgia Actually Costs You
People focus on whether they will go to jail. The consequences go much further. A criminal conviction in Georgia can cost you your professional license, your security clearance, your ability to rent an apartment, your right to own a firearm, your right to vote, and your career. A misdemeanor conviction is not a minor inconvenience. It lives on your permanent record and shows up on every background check for the rest of your life. We treat every charge — felony or misdemeanor — with the same intensity because we understand exactly what is at stake.
How We Attack the State’s Case
Trial Readiness:
The best outcomes — whether a dismissal, a reduction, or an acquittal — come when the prosecutor knows you are fully prepared to fight. We build every case as if it is going to trial. That preparation forces the state to confront the weaknesses in their evidence and changes the entire negotiation dynamic in your favor.
The Police Report Audit:
Police officers can make mistakes, including failing to establish probable cause, conducting unlawful searches, or writing reports that attempt to justify decisions already made. With experience working alongside law enforcement, prosecuting criminal cases, and defending clients, Serreen Meki recognizes procedural errors and constitutional violations that many defense attorneys overlook.
The Mitigation Strategy:
Prosecutors carry overwhelming caseloads. We present a comprehensive mitigation package early — establishing who you are as a complete person, your professional history, your community ties, your character — to pursue dismissal or meaningful reduction before the case ever reaches trial. This is not a last resort. It is a deliberate strategy built on understanding exactly how prosecutors think and what actually moves them.
Do not make the mistake of treating a misdemeanor as no big deal. A conviction for Simple Battery, Theft, Disorderly Conduct, or any misdemeanor offense stays on your permanent record indefinitely. It appears on every background check for employment, housing, professional licensing, and financial applications. We bring the same level of preparation and aggression to misdemeanor defense that most attorneys reserve only for felonies.
Aggravated Assault and Battery.
Frequently charged in self-defense situations where the full context was never investigated. We fight to tell the complete story.
Drug Offenses Including Possession and Trafficking.
The case often rises and falls on the search and seizure. If law enforcement violated your Fourth Amendment rights to obtain the evidence we fight to have it suppressed entirely.
Theft, Burglary, and Property Crimes.
We work to establish lack of intent, mistaken identity, and insufficient evidence to meet the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
Probation Violations:
A technical violation should not send you back to jail. We fight to protect your freedom and your record.
“We take the burden of the future off your shoulders so you can focus on healing.”
