“Trial and litigation are where the rubber hits the road, where the theory of law and procedure becomes concrete reality. I believe my 35 years in the trenches of Georgia’s court system, diligently and ethically representing my clients’ interests, uniquely qualifies me to now represent the interests of Georgians in ensuring a fair, efficient and expeditious system of justice, enforced in conformity with our oldest and most cherished constitutional principles.”
