Local Insight: Navigating Criminal Charges in Cumming & Alpharetta
At Brian Hansford Law, we understand the unique challenges faced by residents of Forsyth County, particularly in Cumming and Alpharetta. The local law enforcement agencies, such as the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office, are known for their rigorous approach to criminal investigations.

We also recognize that the local court system, including the Forsyth County Courthouse, can be overwhelming for those unfamiliar with its procedures.

We hired Mr. Hansford to assist us with a juvenile traffic citation. He met with us and shared the pros and cons of the incident. Mr. Hansford met with the Judge on our behalf, we were able to accept a plan from the court and continue with our lives. We could have faced the Judge without an attorney but thought it was best to have Mr. Hansford represent my teenager. He is well worth the time and money.

Mr. Brian Hansford advised me of my legal liability regarding a vehicular accident I was involved in. I was ticketed and summonsed to appear in court. The ticket stated I failed to obey a traffic signal resulting in an accident with another party. In reality, I had been distracted by a police operation (lane closure, three police cars with flashing lights, officers on the road arresting someone) that was occurring at this same intersection at the same time. I had been distracted by this and took my eyes off the traffic signal not noticing a light change. Mr. Hansford was successfully able to have the charge downgraded. I did not have to appear in court and I paid a very small fine with no points recorded against my license. Having the accident and a resulting ticket plus the impending court appearance caused me a great deal of anxiety and stress. Mr. Hansford put my mind at ease. He was a good listener, courteous and a pleasure to deal with. His legal assistant Erin was also great to deal with, highly efficient and very respectful. I am now VERY careful around intersections but I would not hesitate to use Mr. Hansford again should any future legal need arise. I am grateful for his counsel and would highly recommend him.

Brian Hansford represented my 18-year-old son in a first offense reckless driving case. Brian was able to obtain a plea deal bringing the case from a 6-month suspension of his license and $1,000.00 fine to community service, a defensive driving course and a much-reduced fine of under $100.00. He and his assistant Erin were super responsive and great to work with. I hope never to need this type of legal help again, but if I do I would not hesitate to use Brian again to help.

I have used Brian for several cases throughout my life. Brian and his staff are always available to answer your questions and keep you in the loop regarding your case. Well respected by judges and prosecutors. Whatever your situation he will work hard for you and always be honest. You might not like what you hear but Brian will not promise you something he cannot deliver on. What he will do is work for your best interest and he gets results. I have been in some scary situations and Brian has achieved results that both astonished and impressed me. I would not even think of using anyone else when it comes to my freedom and goodwill. Highly recommended!

I was faced with an unexpected situation with my teenager and felt helpless and completely out of my depth. Brian was fantastic at putting my mind at ease, talking me through what needed to be done to reach the desired end result. He mapped out a plan and got it done. I wouldn’t go to anyone else.- Previous Client

Brian met with us within 2 days of my daughter's DUI less safe charge. Having never even heard of DUI less safe, I was reassured to have him representing her. His staff kept us informed throughout the process and answered our questions. He gave us a realistic scenario of what the final outcome would be and we were so relieved that he delivered an even better conclusion to this nightmare. Brian is well-respected in the Alpharetta courts and we are certain his professional relationships with the people there were key in receiving the best outcome.

Brian and Erin were great from the outset. I initiated with them on a Sunday, got a call the same day and was in the office to chat the next day. Based on my discussion with Brian I hired him to represent me in a case involving multiple charges stemming from an incident on the road. Brian navigated me through the legal process making sure I was aware of my options. I enjoyed working with him and Erin to the end of my case.- Justin

Brian was clear and concise with me and set my expectations appropriately. I switched to Brian from a Cobb County based lawyer after realizing that his comfort with the Forsyth prosecutors and judicial team was essential to a successful defense strategy. Under his team's guidance, we were able to get my charges dropped--which exceeded my expectations.- Shawn
