John Garland has a reputation for excellence as a trial lawyer, a reputation built on over a decade of experience trying cases in both State and Federal Courts.  John comes from a long line of trial lawyers, which includes his father, Ed Garland, his grandfather and the firm's founder, Reuben A. Garland, his great-grandfathers and numerous uncles.  From this heritage came three cherished tenets: advocate vigorously for the Client, put the Client’s interests above all else, and respect the great responsibility of the lawyer’s role as last and only guardian of the Client’s freedom.. When John Garland graduated from the University of Vermont with a B.A. degree, magna cum laude, he could have chosen any number of professions to pursue, but his instincts, his innate talents and his family legacy all directed his focus on the law.  A native of Atlanta, John selected the law school of the University of Georgia where he graduated cum laude in 2004, and then he joined his father, Ed Garland, at Garland, Samuel & Loeb. He focuses on advocacy at the trial level, including criminal defense, personal injury, and product liability.. John has successfully handled many complex cases. Some notable cases as decibed in the "Legal Cases" section below.

I was born in Hartford, Connecticut, but spent most of my first 18 years overseas. As a young adult, I returned to the United States, completed my undergraduate degree at Rice University in Houston, Texas, and earned my law degree from Emory University School of Law in Atlanta, Georgia. While in law school, I distinguished myself by serving on the editorial boards of the Journal of International Dispute Resolution and the Bankruptcy Developments Journal.. After law school, I continued my studies and received a Master's Degree in International and Comparative Law from the University of Brussels. Prior to entering private practice, I served as a law clerk at the U.S. Court of International Trade and as a staff attorney at the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. For the past 32 years, I have devoted my practice to defending narcotics trafficking and other serious felony cases in state and federal courts throughout the United States. I have personally handled thousands of felony cases in the state courts of Georgia and in federal courts throughout the country and have a proven track record of success.

I was born and raised in Atlanta.  After graduating from Georgia State Law School, I began my 5-year career as an Assistant District Attorney.  The first 3 years were in the Coweta judicial circuit where I handled cases in Carroll, Coweta, Heard, Meriwether and Troup Counties.  In 2004, I began my two years as an Assistant District Attorney in Cobb County. During my years as an attorney, I have handled over 1,000 criminal cases. I have successfully tried over 40 jury trials to verdict- from Murders to White Collar Crimes to DUI and Drug Trials. I have the experience of over 100 probation revocation hearings, motions to suppress and bond hearings. I have also written several criminal defense appeals..

I have been practicing law for over 35 years. If you want a lawyer who cares about you and will fight for you, then you should contact me. You will have my direct office phone number, cell phone number and e-mail address to communicate about your case at any time.

I have been a solo practitioner or a partner in a small law firm since graduating from Emory law school in 1988. It is my philosophy to give each client as much individual attention as their case needs for a successful conclusion. In immigration matters, I also advise clients when they have no case to remain in the United States, rather than take a case and say, "sorry,"  thousands of dollars later. It is better for clients' interests that the client take his or her hard earned money to their home country to start a new life rather than to spend it on a "wild goose chase" with the Federal Government.. I spend little time promoting myself for the benefit of the general public and for my peers, unlike many others in this profession. I find excessive lawyer advertising to be demeaning to the profession and often misleading. I only engage in it minimally in order to allow existing clients and referrals to find me. I do host an occasional radio show in Spanish.. Outside of my law practice, I am an avid golfer and fly fisherman, and a world traveller.

I am a practicing attorney devoted to assisting people with difficult legal problems particularly those involving alcohol and drug use.  As a former assistant district attorney, I learned the ins and outs of criminal practice and criminal procedure.. I enjoy meeting new people even under difficult circumstances and make every effort to leave those I work with better off both legally and personally.. I have been married to Catherine Ann Thomas of Columbia, South Carolina for over 20 years and we have lived in Atlanta, Georgia for most of that time.  We have three children, Tommy, Margaret, and Anna.. The family enjoys historical reenacting, theater, reading and watching each other play soccer.. If I can be of assistance regarding any of your legal needs please let me know.

Greg was was born and raised in Atlanta. He received his undergraduate degree from Washington University in St. Louis in 1990 and his law degree from the University of Georgia in 1993. While in law school, Greg clerked for the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office, the United States Attorney’s Office, and an United States District Court Judge.  Upon graduation, Greg immediately went to work for the Clarke County District Attorney’s Office in Athens, Georgia. He handled the Asset Forfeiture Division of the office, while also trying all types of felony jury trials. Greg was then asked to take over the “High Priority” caseload, which included high profile cases, such as murder and rape, and especially difficult cases, such as arson and child molestation.. In 1996, Greg joined the DeKalb County District Attorney’s Office. He continued to handle every type of felony case, including drug cases, robberies, assaults, child molestations, and murders. In 1999, DeKalb District Attorney J. Tom Morgan named Greg as the Trial Attorney of the Year for his outstanding advocacy. In 2001, District Attorney Morgan again honored Greg by promoting him to Deputy Chief Assistant District Attorney and naming him the Solicitor of the DeKalb County Juvenile Court.. In these dual roles, Greg handled all cases of juveniles being tried as adults in DeKalb County for the crimes of murder, rape, armed robbery, and voluntary manslaughter, and he managed an office of twenty-one people, comprised of prosecutors, investigators, and staff, who handled thousands of cases a year in juvenile court.. Throughout his career, Greg has been asked to speak at schools, at universities, on radio programs, on television programs, on the local news, to prosecutor training groups, and to police agencies as an expert in the field of Criminal and Juvenile Justice.

For more than 25 years I have vigorously fought for the accused facing federal and state criminal charges. By focusing exclusively on defending people charged with serious crimes I am able to provide clients with knowledgeable and experienced representation. Over the years I have acquitted clients of murder, rape, armed robbery, gang conspiracy, racketeering, aggravated assault, firearm offenses, drug trafficking, distribution and possession, medicaid fraud, mortgage fraud, theft and property offenses. Similarly, through investigation and research, I have had cases dismissed by being fully prepared. When going to trial is not in the client's best interest I have achieved creative solutions and in many cases successfully argued for probation. My goal is to achieve the best possible result for my clients. I recognize that the outcome of the case may have a lasting impact on the client's life.

Compassion for my clients-Commitment to your goals-Advocacy for your cause.. I know that looking for a criminal defense attorney is stressful and facing criminal charges is scary.  While this may be your first experience with the criminal justice system, I have spent the last twenty-four years handling criminal cases both as a prosecutor and a criminal defense lawyer.  I have the experience you need.  I have the reputation you want when walking into a courtroom.  I know the system, I know the law, and most importantly I know how to come up with a plan to help you.
