Meet Attorney Ahmad R. Crews, a Lawyer Who Works for and With You

Ahmad R. Crews is an Atlanta criminal defense attorney and the founder of The Law Office of Ahmad R. Crews. Ahmad handles cases ranging from gang RICO, wire fraud, armed Robbery, Drug offenses, appeals rape, child sex offenses in both state and federal courts.

Ahmad has handled approximately 1,000 criminal matters, including jury trials and appeals, and he has achieved not guilty verdicts in seemingly unwinnable cases.

How He Approaches a Case

Mr. Crews prepares every case as if it is going to trial. He reads the specific statutes that apply, investigates the facts independently, begins trial preparation as soon as discovery arrives, engages prosecutors early and often, and files strong pretrial motions to challenge the State’s evidence in every way the law allows.

For clients who are frightened, embarrassed, or unsure whether they can trust a lawyer, he gives them the time to decide whether he is the right fit, and he is honest about their options regardless of the financial outcome for the firm. His standard: a client should feel as comfortable with their attorney as they do with their own doctor.

Practice Focus

Mr. Crews represents people accused of high-stakes and complex felonies throughout Georgia, in both state and federal court. His work includes:

He regularly appears in courts throughout the State of Georgia, including  Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Paulding, and Coweta counties, and in the Sandy Springs and Kennesaw areas. His federal practice includes matters in the Northern and Middle Districts of Georgia.

Representative Case Results

  • Malice murder, felony murder, and aggravated assault (Baldwin County Superior Court). The State offered life in prison before trial. After a four-day trial, the client was found not guilty on all charges.
  • Felony murder and aggravated assault (Gwinnett County Superior Court). After Mr. Crews filed a motion to dismiss and argued the client’s conduct was legally justified, the prosecutor dismissed the case and the arrest record was restricted.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every case is different and turns on its own facts.
