About John
Biography
I served as a Law Clerk in Cobb County Superior Court to Hon. Kenneth O. Nix, I was a felony Prosecutor in the Brunswick Judicial Circuit and have practiced in the Brunswick Judicial Circuit for 16+ years.
I have had success in jury trials in Federal Court and the various State Courts of Georgia. I have been involved in cases that have gone to the US Supreme Court and overseen jury trials as lead counsel consistently over the entire time I have been admitted to the Georgia Bar.
I have obtained favorable jury verdicts for clients in criminal cases ranging from vehicular homocide to felony murder. I have extensive jury and bench trial experience in many areas of civil practice in both Federal and State Courts including business and domestic disputes.

Wonderful Experience
John helped us through a difficult time with issues related to our business. He dealt with several different attorneys on different sides and advocated for us during a time when we felt we were being taken advantage of.

Difficult Time
John helped us get through a difficult time with our teenage son. He was extremely thorough and friendly. Always made us feel comfortable and picked up the phone anytime we called. Worked with us like he was part of the family.
