John Toney, Associate Attorney
As a lifelong resident of Georgia, I understand the impact that powerful advocacy has in every setting of life. My mother was an elementary school teacher for over 25 years, dedicated to selfless service in the name of bettering those around her. My father worked in the President’s Office at UGA before running the Northeast Georgia Food Bank for a short stint and now owns his own business where he provides crisis communications plans for local and regional businesses. He always says, “you get the community that you’re willing to build.”

MISDEMEANOR OF A HIGH AND AGGRAVATED NATURE

DRUG APPEAL

I convinced the Court of Appeals to reverse my client’s methamphetamine trafficking conviction. My client had been convicted of trafficking approximately $90,000 worth of methamphetamine.
BURGLARY APPEAL

The Court of Appeals initially issued an unpublished opinion in this case. I convinced the Court of Appeals that their initial opinion was in error. They reissued the opinion and reversed my clients burglary conviction.
INTERLOCUTORY APPEAL
Santos v. State
