Richard Grossman

Firm: Law Offices of Richard A. Grossman
66 Lenox Pointe, NE , Atlanta , Georgia 30324
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense , Drug Crimes, White Collar Crime, Criminal Defense, Criminal Defense
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.

Peter Hill

Firm: Peter R. Hill, P.C.
2250 North Druid Hills Road Suite 290 , Atlanta , Georgia 30339
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense , Immigration & Naturalization , Personal Injury, Immigration, Immigration
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.

Paul Kish

Firm: Kish Law LLC
225 Peachtree Street , Atlanta , Georgia 30303
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense, White Collar Crime, Appeals, Federal Crime
I have been involved in the criminal justice system for over 36 years, and still enjoy representing my clients.  We all are human, some of us make mistakes, others find themselves in situations beyond their control.  When my clients are investigated or prosecuted for an alleged crime, I make it my practice to not judge what happened. Instead, I want to first understand the situation, then come up with a plan designed to get the best possible outcome for the person I am representing.. I am very lucky.  I continue to enjoy my job, even after 36 years. Anyone reading this who is facing criminal charges should contact my office to discuss your situation.  I look forward to hearing from you.
