Law Offices of Glenn T. Stern
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 I carry at 19 using a out of state ccw permit
- A: No. Georgia is a constitutional carry state, which means you do not even need a permit to carry a concealed firearm if you're over 21 and otherwise allowed to have a firearm.
That being so, if you have a concealed carry permit from another state, reciprocity would mean that Georgia would recognize the other state's permit as if it were one of its own-but only if you would otherwise be qualified to get a carry permit in the state. And since you cannot get such a permit in Georgia until you are 21 years of age, you would not be entitled to carry in our state.
- Q. So my fiancé was pull over in camden county last year in November 19 2024. He went to court they denied his first bond.
- A: He did not get a bond because of the trafficking charge.

- Q. Can you get a bond with a felony? What happens if you already out on a first offender misdemeanor bond and get a felony?
- A: Sure-under those circumstances you "can" get a bond. There's nothing in the law that says the court cannot give you a bond under those circumstances. However, if the prosecutor/court knows or finds out that you picked up a new felony charge while out on misdemeanor probation, they may file a motion to revoke your bond for violating your conditions of bond. Almost certainly one of the conditions of that misdemeanor bond was "do not break any laws/get arrested/get new criminal charges" or something to that effect. So, the new charge would violate that condition of bond. The chances of a prosecutor being aware of the new charges and filing that type of motion are higher ... Read More
