About Georgia
Biography
I began my career in the district attorney's office as an assistant district attorney. I have spoken on several occasions for continuing legal education to other attorneys in the areas of Driving while impaired, jury selection and drug cases. I served as the High Point Bar Association President as well as the 18th Judicial Bar Association HP President. I am a member of the Guilford Inns of Court, Advocats for Justice, NC Bar Association, High Point Bar Association and serve on numerous boards. I am also a town council member for the town of Jamestown and have been elected in that capacity since 2007.
