Scheib & Associates, LLC – Atlanta, GA

The Cop Who Became a Lawyer

Aggressive Criminal Defense in Downtown Atlanta

Scheib & Associates, LLC is a criminal defense firm defined by the unique background of its founder, Dennis R. Scheib. Known widely as ‘The Cop Who Became a Lawyer,’ Dennis Scheib brings over 18 years of experience as a police officer to his legal practice. This dual perspective gives him an unparalleled advantage in the courtroom; he knows exactly how police investigations are conducted, how evidence is handled, and where law enforcement officers often make mistakes. Since transitioning to the defense side in the early 1990s, he has built a reputation for being a fearless and aggressive advocate for his clients. He does not just review police reports; he deconstructs them with the critical eye of someone who used to write them.

The firm specializes in defending against serious criminal charges, including Murder, Violent Crimes, and Drug Trafficking. Dennis Scheib is known for taking on high-stakes cases that other lawyers might shy away from. His approach is hands-on and direct; he visits crime scenes, interviews witnesses personally, and prepares every case as if it will go to trial. This rigorous preparation often forces prosecutors to offer better plea deals or leads to acquittals in court. Located in the 100 Peachtree building (formerly the Equitable Building), the firm is situated in the center of Atlanta’s legal district, just steps from the courts where Dennis Scheib fights daily for his clients’ freedom.
