Frequently Asked Questions

1. Will I go to jail?

The risk of going to jail greatly increases if you do not have an attorney that specializes in drug cases. To navigate all the variables that accompany a drug charge by yourself is a recipe for failure. Success is a function of preparation, knowledge and experience; the three things that the Law Office of Matthew T. McNally brings to your case.

2. Do I really need an attorney that specializes in drugs cases?

YES. There are Law Enforcement Agencies and Prosecuting Attorney Offices that have entire divisions that only handle drug crimes. These consist of officers and attorneys that specialize in making and prosecuting drug crimes. You are at a severe disadvantage if your attorney does not specialized in drug cases like the opposition.

3. Can an officer just search me, my home, or my car?

No. The Georgia and United State Constitution guarantee your right to privacy. There are mountains of laws that explain when and how law enforcement can legally search a person or place. Not to mention, Georgia appellate courts issue new decisions almost weekly that create new rules for searches and explain old ones. A large part of specializing in drug cases means being up to date and understanding the changing landscape of search laws.

4. What if my family member or I have a drug problem?

Most times, a drug charge is directly related to a substance addiction. Though the Law Office of Matthew T. McNally will aggressively defend your drug charge, the defense would be incomplete without incorporating rehabilitation. If you or your family member is ready, rehabilitation and treatment for substance addiction can be a key part to the best resolution of your case.

5. Do I get a guarantee that my case will be dismissed?

No. Steer clear of anyone who will make guarantees like this. This firm will not guarantee that your case will be dismissed, but it will guarantee that every effort will be taken and every resource used to get the best resolution. In every case, you can count on guaranteed honesty, hard work and courtesy.

6. How much money will it cost to hire an attorney?

It’s not cheap. If you are looking for the bargain basement, you’re looking in the wrong place. The cost depends on your case and how aggressive you want your defense to be. Though every case requires individual treatment, we have fee guidelines that help keep fees consistent. We accept credit card payments and payment plans are available.
