Your Trusted Legal Ally When Your Future Is At Risk

I am J. Pete Theodocion, an attorney with over 25 years of experience defending clients accused of serious crimes in Augusta and the surrounding areas. As a former prosecutor, I understand the challenges my clients face and offer personalized defense strategies in federal and state criminal cases.

Experienced Georgia Criminal Defense

S tarting with a free consultation, my priority is protecting my clients’ rights and interests and safeguarding their futures throughout the driving under the influence (DUI) defense process. I investigate the details surrounding every arrest and breath test, looking for any errors or violations that could help my client’s case. I also guide them through the process of reinstating their driver’s license and explore options to prevent further consequences, such as the installation of an ignition interlock device.

In addition, I defend clients throughout Georgia in serious felony cases, including those involving murder, manslaughter and homicide. In these cases, I work with forensic experts to meticulously analyze evidence and challenge the prosecution’s narrative. My practice further includes assault and domestic violence, allegations of sexual assault and rape, child sexual abuse, and crimes involving drugs, theft and property.

Make This A Fair Fight

In a criminal prosecution, the government has built-in advantages – it determines who is charged, what crimes are charged and when prosecution takes place. In the realm of federal criminal prosecutions, it is essential to have a tenacious defense attorney with a proven track record of challenging the government and achieving favorable outcomes.

I ensure that my clients understand the federal charges against them and their potential consequences. My experience includes white collar crime, public corruption, fraud, IRS tax investigations, drug offenses and cyber crimes.

A Relentless Advocate On Your Side

Since 1997, I’ve dedicated my practice to providing clients with clear, effective legal strategies to overcome state and federal criminal charges. I understand the stress and uncertainty they are feeling. They are up against the full weight of the state or federal government, and I’m always here to fight for them with the knowledge, experience and commitment needed to protect their rights.

As a former prosecutor, I offer a unique perspective, anticipating the prosecution’s strategies and building strong defenses. I provide direct communication, keeping my clients informed every step of the way so that they can make the best decisions for their futures.
