About AJ
AJ Richman built his legal foundation at Florida State University. He earned a B.S. in 2005 and returned to FSU College of Law for his J.D., which he received in 2009. Those years bookend early practical work in courtrooms and offices that shaped his approach to criminal cases.
Richman's professional timeline begins in 2001 as an intern at the State Lawyer's Office. After completing his undergraduate degree, he worked as a lawyer-client liaison at Jansen & Davis in 2005. He then spent time in the Homicide Division of the State Lawyer's Office in 2007 and served as a DUI prosecutor in 2008. Each post put him on the courthouse floor and gave him firsthand exposure to serious and routine criminal matters.
After law school he joined the Law Office of Steven Leibel, P.C., as an associate in 2009. In 2012 he moved into a lead prosecutorial role as Lead Assistant Solicitor General in Forsyth County. The following year he served as an Assistant District Lawyer and then became a partner at Richman Law Office in 2013. Those roles span both sides of criminal practice and include trial work at multiple levels.
His practice record includes work on homicide matters, DUI prosecutions, and other criminal dockets. He holds certification from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in DUI Detection and Field Sobriety Evaluation. That credential complements his courtroom experience and informs how he handles cases involving impaired driving allegations.
Richman is licensed to practice in Georgia and maintains membership in the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. His background in prosecution and defense gives him familiarity with procedural strategy, evidence challenges, and plea negotiations. Colleagues describe him as someone who draws on practical courtroom time rather than theory.
He practices from Richman Law Office, where his caseload reflects years spent handling serious felony matters and routine criminal charges. He represents clients in Georgia criminal matters and concentrates his practice on criminal defense and DUI representation.
