Biography
Joshua Elbaz – Trusted Criminal Defense Attorney in Gwinnett County, Georgia
As a dedicated criminal defense attorney in Gwinnett County, I bring a unique perspective and extensive experience to every case I handle. Before co-founding Elbaz & Elbaz, LLC, I served as an Assistant District Attorney, where I prosecuted a wide range of felony cases. This invaluable experience gave me firsthand knowledge of how the prosecution builds its cases, and I now use that insight to craft strategic and aggressive defenses for my clients.
My practice focuses on defending individuals facing serious criminal charges, including:
• Domestic Violence
• DUI and Traffic Offenses
• Drug Charges
• Sex Offenses
• Theft and Fraud Cases
• Probation Violations
• Violent Crimes such as assault, armed robbery, and firearm offenses
I understand the stakes involved in every case I take—your liberty, reputation, and future. That’s why I approach each case with meticulous attention to detail and an unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. Whether it’s negotiating favorable plea agreements, seeking case dismissals, or presenting compelling defenses at trial, I fight tirelessly to protect your rights.
Education and Commitment to Justice
My legal journey began with earning my law degree, followed by extensive courtroom experience as a prosecutor and now as a defense attorney. I am proud to use my knowledge and skills to serve the people of Lawrenceville and greater Gwinnett County, helping them navigate the complexities of Georgia’s criminal justice system.
A Client-Centered Approach
At Elbaz & Elbaz, LLC, I prioritize building strong relationships with my clients, providing clear communication, and delivering results-oriented representation. I offer virtual consultations, flexible payment options, and a free initial consultation to ensure that every client feels supported and confident in their defense.
