AJ Richman
Richman Law Firm
I served as a Felony Prosecutor, handling thousands of cases, including DUIs, Domestic violence, Drug offenses, Murder, and Sex crimes. My experience on the other side of the courtroom gives me invaluable insight into how prosecutors build cases—and how to dismantle them.
In addition to general criminal defense, for the last 10 years, I have become dedicated and highly skilled in defending individuals accused of sex crimes, including internet sting operations, rape, child molestation, and sexual exploitation offenses. I have advanced expertise in cell phone forensics and digital evidence analysis, as well as using cell phone extraction applications, IP tracking, metadata analysis, and technical data.
I also represent victims in personal injury cases, including car accidents, trucking collisions, and catastrophic injuries. My prosecutor and trial attorney background gives me a litigator’s edge in personal injury law—where insurance companies often try to minimize payouts, delay claims, or deny responsibility. Having spent years in the courtroom handling complex cases, I know how to build compelling arguments, cross-examine expert witnesses, and take cases to trial when necessary. Whether negotiating a settlement or fighting for maximum compensation in court, I bring the same level of tenacity, strategic thinking, investigation, and trial advocacy to personal injury cases as I do to criminal defense. I have recovered millions of dollars for my clients and am 100% referral-based.
I earned my law degree, cum laude, with honors from Florida State University (Go Noles!), where I also received a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice and focused a minor on Math. I am licensed to practice in all Magistrate, Probate, Municipal, State, and Superior courts of Georgia. I have also been honored with the privilege to represent clients in the Supreme Court of Georgia, Georgia Court of Appeals, and Federal Court.
