We Understand We Are Fighting for Your Life
Trial lawyer Bobby Phillips began his career in criminal defense in 1974. He has successfully defended clients accused of murder, including a capital case in which he spared his client from the death penalty. Mandy Roberts is a proven felony trial lawyer and was a lead felony trial attorney for Georgia's Eastern Judicial Circuit Public Defender's Office. Ms. Roberts is known as "Savannah's Top Female Criminal Defense Attorney".
Our legal team provides aggressive representation if you are facing any homicide charge:
- First degree murder (intentional murder)
- Second degree murder ("crime of passion")
- Felony murder (causing a death in the commission of robbery or another felony)
- Involuntary manslaughter (recklessly causing a death)
- Vehicular homicide
We know how to challenge the prosecution's evidence and argue for reduced charges because of the circumstances. We explore all possible defenses, including self-defense, defense of others, police misconduct and false identification.
If the district attorney has a strong case, we will then weigh the merits of negotiating a plea versus going to trial. If you are convicted or plead guilty, there is much we can do to mitigate the punishment at sentencing. We also handle criminal appeals.
Contact our Savannah office for a FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION. We always take into consideration our client's ability to pay, because no one should have to compromise their defense when their freedom is on the line.
