Experienced And Knowledgeable Georgia Attorney
The Kinds Of Representation I Provide
My practice at Roger J. Rozen, Attorney at Law, is focused on the legal issues that usually affect the lives of my clients. You may be facing criminal charges and concerned about your record or your goal is to prevent jail time. You may be facing divorce and want to protect your financial interests or secure custody of your child. I have the requisite skills and experience to effectively assert your rights in and out of court to ensure the best possible outcome in your case.
I practice law in the following areas:
- Criminal defense representation, including felony offenses, misdemeanors, shoplifting and theft, assault and battery, drug charges.
- DUI and driver’s license suspension. A drunk driving offense carries severe penalties, including loss of license, significant fines or jail time. When you are arrested for drunk driving, it is critical to consult with an attorney as soon as possible. I will advise you of your rights and provide aggressive representation to ensure your case is handled properly. When possible, I will work to defeat your charges completely and will always seek to minimize penalties and charges in your case.
- Underage drinking and marijuana possession cases. I fight to minimize the consequences that young people face as the result of an arrest. I regularly represent college-aged students from schools such as Kennesaw State University.
- Traffic violations cases, including speeding, reckless driving, moving violations. Traffic violations can result in heavy fines and penalties. If you have a speeding violation, reckless driving offense, were charged for driving without a license, driving without insurance, or driving with a suspended license, I can represent you in any administrative hearing or court. I will seek to minimize fines and penalties and fight to protect your driving privileges.
- Personal injury matters such as car accident and workplace accident cases. When you or your loved one has suffered a serious injury or wrongful death, I aggressively pursue maximum compensation from all responsible parties. I advocate for your rights as an injured victim in car accidents, trucking accidents, motorcycle accidents, workplace injuries, and workers’ compensation.
- Family law and divorce, child custody, support, paternity, and domestic violence issues. My family law practice focuses on the rights and needs of my clients and their children. Whether you are facing a divorce and need counsel and advocacy related to asset division, custody, support, or you need a lawyer for a domestic abuse or paternity case, I have the resources and skills to effectively advocate for you.
A Former Criminal Prosecutor
As a former prosecutor in Cobb County and the city of Marietta, I prosecuted a wide range of crimes and learned about criminal law from the government’s point of view. I use that knowledge to defend my clients against felony and misdemeanor charges. I will fight to achieve the best possible result in your case.
Personal Injury Advocate And Criminal Trial Attorney With A Reputation For Results
I have significant experience in handling complex cases. Whether negotiating a settlement, a plea bargain or taking your case to trial, I get results through preparation, detail-oriented attention, and an aggressive approach. I will remain a steadfast and formidable advocate on your behalf and will provide continued and unwavering client service. I will keep you informed of developments in your case and will consult with you before making critical decisions on your behalf.
To protect your rights and the outcome of your case, contact a lawyer you can trust. Whether you were charged with a criminal offense, been injured in an accident due to the fault of another, or require strategic legal counseling regarding a family legal matter, I can provide the representation you need for successful resolution of your case.
