MAGISTRATE COURT HEARINGS

In many counties in North Georgia, most counties have Magistrate Courts who after an individual files a police report against another individual act as a court of inquiry to determine whether there is sufficient proof to suspect the person of guilt and to require him to appear and answer before a competent court to try him.  These courts typically determine probable cause.

If you receive a summons to appear before any Magistrate Court, contact Davis & Hoss immediately.  Davis & Hoss has represented dozens of individuals who face these inquiries.  In essence, these are mini-trials which require a competent investigation into the facts.  Many times you can convince the Magistrate to not issue any warrant and dismiss the case.
