Attorney Information
Overview
For years, Stephen built a respected career defending hospitals, national trucking carriers, insurers, and businesses across Georgia in complex liability cases—from medical malpractice and transportation claims to premises and governmental liability. But today, Stephen has turned the page. Drawing on his deep experience and insider knowledge of defense strategy, he now proudly represents individuals and families who’ve suffered serious injuries due to negligence. Stephen lives in Adel, Georgia, and serves clients throughout South Georgia and beyond. His practice is rooted in compassion, strategy, and a commitment to helping people rebuild their lives after injury.
A native of Tifton, Stephen earned his undergraduate degree magna cum laude from Valdosta State University, where he was a student-athlete on the football team. He went on to receive his Juris Doctor from Mercer University’s Walter F. George School of Law. He is admitted to practice in all Georgia state and superior courts, the Georgia Court of Appeals, the Supreme Court of Georgia, and the United States District Courts for the Middle and Southern Districts of Georgia.
Stephen has been selected as a Rising Star, a recognition achieved by only 2.5% of attorneys statewide. He has long been AV Rated by Martindale Hubbard, the highest rating level for legal ability and ethics. Stephen has served as both President and Vice-President of the Tifton Judicial Circuit Bar Association. Outside of work, he enjoys cycling, running, tennis, and spending time with his wife and daughters.
