A Skilled Criminal Defense Attorney

Sarah M. Timmers started practicing criminal defense as a public defender in the Commonwealth of Virginia. As a public defender or court-appointed attorney, Ms. Timmers was exposed to and gained experience from representing both juveniles and adults, each with unique circumstances, accused of committing crimes or offenses ranging from juvenile status offenses to traffic infractions and DUI’s, criminal misdemeanors, felonies, and homicides. Ms. Timmers developed her own methodology for investigating her clients’ facts and accurately evaluating the government’s evidence to determine the strength of the government’s accusation against her clients. Ms. Timmers evolved her own style of presentation in the courtroom successfully persuading juries to find her clients’ not-guilty. During her time in the Commonwealth of Virginia, Ms. Timmers tried a total of thirteen cases, which included one homicide trial, and obtained a total of ten not-guilty jury verdicts.

In 2016, Ms. Timmers relocated her criminal defense practice to metro Atlanta, Georgia, where she continues to represent accused individuals in Georgia’s trial courts and on appeal. Ms. Timmers is admitted to practice in the Court of Appeals of Georgia and the Supreme Court of Georgia. She is a member of the Criminal Justice Act (CJA) Panel for the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, defending individuals indicted by the federal grand jury for federal crimes against the United States government. Ms. Timmers is admitted to practice in all three of Georgia’s federal judicial districts (northern, middle, and southern), the Eleven Circuit Court of Appeals, and the United States Supreme Court.
