Ever hear the saying, “A good lawyer knows the law, but a great lawyer knows the judge”? Well, what do you call a lawyer who was the judge? That’s me! And let me tell you, it’s thrilling. Former judges have no special influence with other judges— that’s always against the rules— but the knowledge and skill gained is invaluable to my clients. Before you hire a lawyer, consider asking if they were a former Chief Superior Court judge, the highest level of jury trial court. I was. Think about it.
Imagine the wealth of knowledge you’d gather after spending over two decades as a Superior Court judge in jury trials. I’ve presided over everything: from intense murder cases to challenging medical malpractice. This has been my world — a roller-coaster of jury trials, often back to back, from injury and wrongful death to high asset divorces and will contests. Now, I can do it all for you as your lawyer.
Even the best lawyers make mistakes and learn from their mistakes over time. But my edge? I remember the ins and outs of countless cases I’ve seen. This means when you tell me your problem, I’ve likely seen something similar and can predict the twists and turns ahead.
As a judge, I didn’t just sit back. With other judges, I helped shape the very rules that guide our courts and juries. I’ve shared my expertise, written and published articles to teach lawyers and judges, and given talks to train other lawyers on mastering jury trials. But all that time, there was a competitor inside me. I’d watch lawyers and think, “How would I outmaneuver them?” But Superior Court judges are full time, and cannot practice law. Now, that competitor is free to represent you.
Now, after being at the center of hundreds of these trials, I’ve evolved. I’m not just a trial lawyer anymore; I’m the trial lawyer I always dreamed of becoming. In Georgia, there are only a few like me – former Chief Superior Court judges who can represent you and provide insights only a former judge can.
Here’s the thing: I love to win. Not just for you, but for the thrill of it. If you have a big case in Georgia, you’ll want the best lawyer for your case by your side. Read the news article about my credentials on my “about” website page. If you have a serious case, give me a call. When I answer, know that I’m selective. I pursue the big challenges because the joy of winning against good lawyers is unmatched. So, are you ready to team up?
