Coastal Georgia's Choice for DUI and Criminal Defense

The Atlantic Law Firm is a strategic and aggressive criminal defense firm led by Attorney Stacey Goad. Goad brings over 15 years of courtroom experience as a prosecutor and criminal defense attorney. Goad started her career in the fast-paced environment of metro Atlanta as a prosecuting attorney. She continued her career as a prosecutor in Savannah before she found her true passion as a defense attorney.

Over the span of her career, Goad has won hundreds of bench and jury trials, garnering unrivaled experience in matters ranging from DUI to complex violent felony cases.

Goad focuses solely on criminal and DUI defense. Why does this matter? Most law firms lack a concentration. Instead, they practice a little personal injury, a little family law, and little defense, etc. Because of this, their criminal law clients often do not receive the legal advocacy or respect they deserve.

Goad's clients are her top priority. Her clients will tell you, she is respectful, she communicates regularly, and she gets results for her clients. Stacey fights for the dignity of good people, just like you, accused of criminal conduct throughout coastal Georgia.

Whether you are facing criminal charges in Savannah, Richmond Hill, Hinesville, Darien, Brunswick, Kingsland, or beyond- The Atlantic Law Firm is here for you. Goad's years of experience benefit her clients every day. Stacey used to build cases for the State of Georgia. Now she tears them apart.

If you or someone you love has a question, do not wait. The worst mistake you can make is to hesitate. Law enforcement can and will use any permissible tactic to convict you of a crime. Make sure you have an aggressive legal advocate on your side to prevent this from happening.

    "“Great!!” I was charged with four charges that I could possibly face jail time,Stacey strived to get all charges dropped and I received reckless driving instead of a DUI charge. She also got me off from doing community service, and probation once fines were paid, I would definitely recommend her to anyone who’s going through any DUI issues. Stacey M. Goad is absolutely the best!!!"

    "“Sharp, Savvy, Stacey” Ms. Goad is a former prosecutor, and knows how they think, but she’s not cynical, and seems to truly care about proving her clients with the best possible defense. She’s down to earth and personable, but sharp as a tack and very professional. I am not a fan of the legal system or of most attorneys, buy I a fan of Ms. Goud, and recommend her highly"

    Having been in the most scary situation I've ever found myself in, I can tell you that choosing Stacey Goad is the best decision you can make if you're in need of representation for a difficult situation..
    I will be eternally grateful to her for everything she did for my son in what was a shocking situation to find ourselves in, eventually getting his and our lives back on track after a year-long scary ordeal.
    Throughout she treated my son with genuine kindness and sincere empathy, and made the entire ordeal as easy for him as possible.
    She will always be one of the most important people I've ever met. Her impact on my family cannot be overstated - she was able to turn a dire situation back into normal life. I am 100% certain that things would not have gone so well for us if it wasn't for her representation.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Common Criminal Defense Questions

    Call Now 912-209-9000

    What Should I Do if I've Been Arrested?

    If you're arrested, remember your right to remain silent. Don't discuss your case with anyone except your attorney. Contact Stacey Goad of the Atlantic Law Firm at 912-209-9000 today.

    Do I Need a Savannah Criminal Defense Lawyer if I'm Innocent?

    Yes. Especially if you're innocent, you will need the help of a seasoned attorney. The legal system can be complex. A skilled defense attorney such as Stacey will protect your rights, challenge evidence, and work to dismiss charges or achieve a Not Guilty verdict on your behalf.

    What's the Difference Between a Misdemeanor and a Felony?

    Misdemeanors are less serious crimes, typically punishable by up to one year in jail. Felonies are more serious offenses that can result in over a year in prison and have more severe long-term consequences.

    Should I Accept a Plea Bargain?

    You should never accept a plea bargain without first analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of your case with a trusted attorney.

    I'll thoroughly review the facts of your case with you, discuss the State’s evidence with you, discuss any plea offers with you, negotiate any counter-offers you may request, explain the pros and cons of any deal in thorough detail, and advise you on whether accepting or rejecting is likely in your best interest.

    How Much Does Criminal Defense Representation Cost?

    Costs for criminal defense representation can vary widely depending on the complexity of your case, the severity of the charges, and the amount of time and resources required.

    During our initial consultation I will quote you a flat rate fee for my representation.

     

    Your choice of a criminal defense attorney can often make or break your case. As a Savannah criminal defense attorney, Goad provides aggressive legal representation from bond hearings to jury trials, fighting tirelessly to protect your rights and secure your future.
