The Federal Law Group was established by attorney Ann Marie Fitz, a former Assistant District Attorney and a frequent guest legal commentator on national cable news networks.  Ms. Fitz is a passionate and hands-on attorney who prefers to handle most of the firm's cases herself; however, the firm has other attorneys available in an "of counsel" capacity to assist with extraordinarily complex cases. 

Criminal defense is a highly specialized area of the law, and we focus our practice exclusively on this area.  

We have handled many high-profile cases, and have been featured in articles in the Fulton Daily Report, the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the Atlanta Business Chronicle, Rolling Stone Magazine, and Wired Magazine.  Our representation has also been featured on primetime television news magazines, including CBS's 48 Hours Mystery.  We pride ourselves on our unparallelled reputation for excellence, professionalism, and dedication to our clients.  Our firm focuses on keeping our clients out of jail, and ensuring that your legal rights are protected.
