Aggressive Criminal Defense From a Former Prosecutor
If you are facing criminal charges, you have a lot to lose. In addition to the immediate consequences of jail, fines or losing your driver's license, there are also significant long-term ramifications to having a conviction on your record, including losing your rights to carry firearms, vote and have a passport; having to register as a sex offender; and jeopardizing your current and future employment prospects.
At The Law Office of Matthew M. McCord I represent clients in misdemeanor and felony cases throughout McDonough, Georgia, and the south side of Atlanta. With more than a decade of litigation experience, including three years as a prosecutor in Clayton and Newton Counties, I have the insight and commitment it takes to fight for your rights, both in and out of the courtroom.

Representation for Misdemeanor and Felony Charges
As a former felony and misdemeanor prosecutor, I have first-hand knowledge of how the State prepares their case against you. With that knowledge, I work hard to protect my clients' rights by building an insightful, aggressive and smart defense.
I represent clients facing criminal charges including:
- Aggravated assault
- Domestic violence
- Theft
- Forgery and fraud
- Rape
- Murder
- Drug crimes, including meth, marijuana and cocaine possession, sale, trafficking and manufacturing, and prescription drug fraud
- Probation and parole violations
The criminal legal process is full of traps and pitfalls. Most people are not fully aware of their legal rights, putting them at serious danger of making mistakes like inadvertently confessing. With so much at stake, having an experienced criminal defense lawyer at your side who knows the process and speaks the language of the legal system is crucial.
Your Shield Between You and the State
After you retain me, no one can talk to you without going through me first. I am always accessible, and I will work with you through every stage of the process. I will give you the information you need to make sound decisions. Whether you face charges for marijuana possession or murder, turn to an attorney committed to protecting your rights and being your zealous advocate.
I gather and evaluate all relevant information about your case to prepare the strongest defense I can. I make sure you understand your rights and options, but you call the shots. The decision to plea or go to trial is always yours. My goal is to seek acquittal, but if conviction is unavoidable, I work to minimize the negative consequences you have to face.
Sound Counsel You Can Trust
If you are looking for a lawyer to sugarcoat your situation or simply tell you what you want to hear, I am not the person for you. Honest and straightforward, I tell my clients what they need to know, not what they want to hear. Clients rely on me to provide them a frank, realistic assessment of what they face, and I take this responsibility seriously.
