Biography

Atlanta Criminal Defense Attorney Glenn Stern learned how to practice law representing indigent clients for the Rockdale County Public Defender's Office - one of metro Atlanta's toughest places to be charged with a crime. In private practice, Glenn has continued to use that skill and training for decades, winning dismissals and reductions for his clients.

A graduate of the Stetson University College of Law (nationally renowned for their trial advocacy program), Glenn gained valuable insight into how the "other side" works, trying cases for the Hillsborough County Florida District Attorney's Office as a third-year student.

Q. Can an investigator search your residence simply on the basis of a fourth amendment waiver. Even if there is no GFS?
A: Normally, you would be protected from such a search by the Fourth Amendment. However, with such a waiver, it usually means you've specifically signed away any right you would otherwise have to contest a search by probation or any law enforcement officer as a term of probation. Probation is an alternative to jail, where of course, you also would have no Fourth Amendment rights. When explaining such a waiver, I've heard judges explain to defendants entering a plea that being on probation is like a jail sentence, but you get to live at home instead of being incarcerated.

So in my opinion, the answer is yes-you can be searched at any time for any reason while on probation if you have also signed a fourth Amendment waiver as part of your sentence. ... Read More
Q. How likely is it that my partner will receive bond?
A: I would say it's probably pretty likely, assuming the other battery warrant is also for a misdemeanor. If you really wanted to stack the deck in his favor, you could reach out to the prosecutor's office and tell them that you are the victim in the case and that you want them to give him a bond.
Q. "Rendering a portion of the body useless" is an essential element of agg. battery. What cases definitively state this?
A: Any case that might state this would merely be referring to the actual language of the statute (OCGA 16-6-24(a)), which provides:

"A person commits the offense of aggravated battery when he or she maliciously causes bodily harm to another by depriving him or her of a member of his or her body, by rendering a member of his or her body useless, or by seriously disfiguring his or her body or a member thereof."
