About Stephen
Biography
I am originally from Swainsboro Georgia. I attended college at the University of Georgia, where I obtained a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice.
Immediately after graduation, I began my career as a police officer with the Gwinnett County Police Department. I spent five years investigating felony and misdemeanor crimes throughout Gwinnett County.
I then attended law school at Thomas M. Cooley School of Law in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I graduated in 2013, with honors. I also participated in Moot Court competition, and received a book award.
Following law school, I began my criminal law career with the District Attorney's Office for the Middle Judicial Circuit of Georgia where I handled felony cases. I then accepted a position as Assistant Solicitor-General for Forsyth County.
As an Assistant Solicitor-General, I prosecuted DUI cases, domestic violence cases, and misdemeanor drug case. I served as the representative of the Solicitor's office on the County's misdemeanor Drug and Mental Health Accountability Courts.
I left the Solicitor-General's office to accept a position with the firm of Epps and Stidham.
