Public corruption in Georgia involves a breach of public trust and/or abuse of position by federal, state, or local officials and their private sector accomplices. By broad definition, a government official, whether elected, appointed or hired, violates federal law when he/she asks, demands, solicits, accepts, or agrees to receive anything of value in return for being influenced in the performance of their official duties.

From offering money to an officer of the law in order to avoid a speeding ticket, to bribing a building inspector to look the other way, to heavy campaign contributions by powerful companies to politicians in exchange for favorable treatment, allegations of bribery may take many forms. People who make honest campaign contributions in order to promote a political cause or agenda are often accused of bribery or public corruption.

If you have been charged with public corruption by the State of Georgia or Federal Government, you should immediately contact W. Michael Maloof. Your life, liberty, property and reputation may depend on it.
