Will Georgia’s New Abortion Bill Bring Criminal Charges?

judge's gavel

Lawyers, doctors, and other legal and medical experts across Georgia are being bombarded with questions about Georgia’s latest (and possibly, most controversial) abortion bill. The so-called “heartbeat bill” states that, with very few exceptions, it is illegal to abort a pregnancy if a fetal heartbeat can be detected.

Like the many other concerned individuals in Atlanta, you too may wonder what consequences are in store for women who opt for an abortion.

Because of the wording in the new bill, people are worried that being complicit in an abortion could leave them facing violent crime charges as serious as murder.

Does Georgia’s new bill mean that you will face criminal charges if you have an abortion? In short, no one knows. Just how the new anti-abortion bill will affect Georgia families and what the legal ramifications will remain to be seen.

In the meantime, here are three things you should know about the impact of Georgia’s new abortion legislation:

● The law does not go into effect until 2020, so you still have time to legally seek abortion services in the state of Georgia.
● The bill is more specifically aimed at discouraging doctors from providing abortions rather than punishing women who receive them.
● You have a trusted and experienced criminal defense attorney in Atlanta you can turn to anytime you find yourself facing allegations of a violent crime, including murder.

No matter how this abortion bill plays out in the future, you can always count on the experienced Richard Grossman to fight for your rights and present a solid case in your defense.

Call us to learn how Richard Grossman can help you overturn criminal charges.

I needed an attorney who was well versed in State and County law. I was lucky to find Mr. Grossman. He represented and protected me in and out of court. He made all the preliminary calls and made sure we were ready to deal with my case. I owe him my gratitude and my respect. I would say, you will be hard pressed to find a better attorney in the Atlanta. Thank you Mr. Grossman.

Attorney Richard Grossman is a very experienced knowledgeable lawyer. I called him to take on my case and he was very responsive. He picked up the phone right away and gave me free consultation that most lawyers will charge you for . I was facing felony charges and he took on my case on a short notice. The case was dismissed on 01/18/2019. I will recommend him highly for anyone facing serious criminal charges . Also he helped me locate my passport which was taking away from me as a bond requirement, I picked up my passport today 02/04/19. Thank you Mr Grossman, God Bless you !

Exodo G.

An AMAZING lawyer! Mr. Grossman was very helpful and is extremely knowledgable! He will fight for you as though you're family and is always in contact regarding any matter. Great listener, determined and supportive are some of many things I can say about him. I'm grateful I got to meet him, I will recommend you give him a call!

Yolanda T.

Attorney Grossman represented my son in a criminal case. His wisdom and advice enabled my son to keep his record clean and the charges were dropped. He is an excellent attorney and explains the court procedures and workings thoroughly. I would definitely recommend him!

Lee T.

Mr. Grossman recently represented me after I was arrested for drug charges. And unlike a lot of other lawyers that I observed, he did exactly everything he said he would do. There was no dishonesty or stringing along like I expected and he was very knowledgeable about everything I was experiencing. My fiance was also arrested with me and he had a not so great public defender so I got to experience lawyers from both ends of the spectrum and Mr. Grossman is definitely the best of the best. And even though he didn't have to, he would often give me advice and insight in my fiance's case as well since his lawyer wasn't always so helpful. Although having a good lawyer is very, very expensive Mr. Grossman worked with us as much as he could and it was worth every penny. He also just always seemed like he cared about my well being. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing legal services.

My grandson TP, a teenager, was charged as an adult with three counts of aggravated child molestation. The charges carried a sentence of 25 years to life. We interviewed several lawyers and law firms before hiring Mr. Grossman. Mr. Grossman listened to our issues and discussed our options. We hired Mr. Grossman and he talked to TP several times before the court date was set. It took the state almost a year to bring the case to court. I live out of state and the court date kept being extended. During this extended period of time Mr. Grossman visited TP many times even on Saturdays and Sundays. He did a thorough investigation which included going to the site and interviewing witnesses. Mr. Grossman was always informed, knowledgeable and ready for whatever the state presented us with during the proceedings in or out of the court room. TP and I were always informed about what to expect and our options. During his many visits with TP Mr. Grossman helped TP mentally and made him feel secure. The jury selection by Mr. Grossman was excellent. From day one our Mr. Grossman was very impressive with a calm demeanor. However in the court room his presentation was excellent. It seemed to me, that he was the superior legal mind in the court room. It appeared Mr. Grossman had complete control of everything that happened in the court room. TP was ACQUITTED and his arrest record was expunged. We were highly impressed and always felt secure because of Mr. Grossman's actions and ethics during our ordeal. We highly recommend Mr. Grossman.
