This would have prevented many of the abuses that caused our present recession and which continue to threaten our current generations.

“My long ties to Georgia as a lawyer, businessman and family man, give me a unique insight into what Georgians expect of their government and especially their courts. Through my extensive and broad-based experience in all levels of the Georgia court system, I have come to intimately understand where our courts excel and where they fail. I ask for the opportunity to make our justice system what Georgians know and believe it is capable of being.”
