Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia
Is it a violation of law for an attorney to advise their client not to return a motor vehicle that has been listed on the NCIC system while they are awaiting trial for theft by conversion?
Recently in a court of law an attorney spoke up when the judge asked their client why the vehicle had not been returned when the client had been indicted for the theft. The attorney replied that he thought the charges were unfair and he advised his client to keep the vehicle. Just before the trial the vehicle was located and seized.
1 Answer from Attorneys
The attorney advises the client based on the information received from the client and the attorney's level of experience. I cannot tell you if the attorney violated any law. You would probably need a consult for that. See website for advice on how the select the right attorney: www.lawrencelewispc.com
