You cannot go wrong with this Attorney. Outstanding in every aspect professional, knowledgable, quick, efficient. Always responded to emails and phone calls and sincerely cared about my son's case. Cannot say enough about this Attorney but you cannot ask for a better Attorney. Thank you for a job well done Jacob.
I should have written this review of Jacob years ago when he first helped me, but at the time I was focused on recovering from my unfortunate situation. Needless to say, I want to thank Jacob from his services and follow through! He his polite, respectful, attentive and an excellent defense attorney. He will help you through your difficult legal journey.
I represent clients in all area's of criminal defense including misdemeanors, felonies, traffic offenses and DUI. I am admitted to both the State and Federal Courts in the State of Georgia.
DUI is a complex and technical area of law and it requires someone with the experience and expertise to adequately protect your rights and insure you obtain the best possible outcome. I have been defending clients in DUI cases for my entire career and have the knowledge and experience to obtain your best results.
Jacob grew up in Duncan, South Carolina, where he was a two time Cross Country State Champion at Byrnes Highschool. This honor enabled him to attend Birmingham Southern College on a combined athletic and academic scholarship. While there he gained admission to both the Psi Chi and Phi Alpha Theta honor societies.
Upon Graduation from BSC Jacob attended Texas Tech University School of Law where he spent two years working for a local criminal defense firm, learning and honing his skills for criminal defense work upon graduation.
After graduating from law school Jacob and his wife moved back to her hometown of Marietta, GA and later to Forsyth County.
After gaining admission to the Georgia Bar, Jacob began his practice with Epps and Pilgrim and later with Epps and Stidham, focusing his practice on Criminal Defense. Jacob later founded The Stidham Law Firm, a solo practice devoted solely to defending citizens accused in the varoius State and Federal Courts of Georgia. Jacob continues his zealous representation today as an attorney with Banks, Stubbs, & McFarland. Jacob has also been granted membership in the prestigious National College for DUI Defense where he attended and graduated the National DUI Defense Trial College held at Harvard University School of Law.
When he is not at the Law Office Jacob enjoys spending time with his family and participating in various athletic and outdoor endeavors.

Best Criminal Defense Attorney!
Jacob Stidham is the best attorney I have ever worked with! His compassion and gentle approach in dealing with me has been perfect for my situation. He is a kind attorney who cares, understands and will fight for you. You will feel like you're talking to a friend when you talk to him. He is honest and does exactly what he says that he will. And fast! His knowledge of the court system stretches beyond any attorney I've ever worked with. Jacob will put your mind at ease, he will fight with everything he has to get the best outcome possible. I would recommend Attorney Jacob Stidham with 10 stars. I'll tell you this - you want to hire Jacob Stidham to work on YOUR case too! I could not be more impressed! Thank you for everything Jacob! You are truly the best!

Excellent Traffic Defense
Although this was a minor traffic violation, Mr. Stidham took the case and handled it very professionally. Although I do not have a CDL, I do use my personal vehicle for work, so every ticket makes a difference. Unlike other attorneys I spoke with, Mr. Stidham had a plan to keep this offense off my record, discussed it with me, and sought my approval of the plan. I am happy to say, this was resolved to my satisfaction.

Excellent Reprensentation In a Serious Felony Case
Jacob Stidham and Kyle Epps represented me in a Felony- Theft by taking case. The jail time I was facing
was serious, due to the amount stolen was in excess of $450,000. (Not a typo - $450,000!)
Jacob did a great job, and worked out a plea deal that included NO JAIL TIME! Believe me when I say, the entire courtroom was shocked... I was placed on probation, and have 12 months of house arrest and have restitution to pay, but I'm not in jail/prison.
Jacob represented me Very Well.

Good representation for misdemeanor criminal case
Jacob represented my teenager in a misdemeanor criminal case. He was very knowledgable of the subject matter, had experience with similar cases, knew the county system and people involved, and had a good sense of how hard to push with regard to a plea vs fighting for dismissal. I was very satisfied with his work and with the outcome.

Dependable, Diligent, Knowledgeable, & Committed
Mr. Stidham was very successful and diligent in my case which resulted with the charges being dropped in a “Sell of Marijuana” case, which was I was actually innocent of. He rocks!!! It took over a year to resolve the case because of the prosecutor delaying request from Mr. Stidham, but it was worth the wait!
